I am trying to figure out a way to use Dropbox to sync my emulator game saves between another Android device and my Windows PC. Is this an option? If so, how can I do it?

Hello -
I have been trying to get music transferred from my computer running Ubuntu 10.10 to my new Thunderbolt with zero success.
The computer will recognize the phone when I plug it in and select Disk Drive from the phone, but it shows up as having no available storage space, so I can't even drag-n-drop music to it.
Has anybody else had any luck with this?
Thanks!
Sounds like it's not automounting. When you plug the phone into your computer and choose disk drive, is there an icon in Nautilus, or whatever file manager you use, for the phone? If so have you tried right clicking it and choosing "Mount." Otherwise you can just mount it from the terminal.
I use ubuntu 10.10 as my media center on my laptop and have transfered music using it. It took me awhile to figure out how to sync my music, however, i was able to access the sd card right off the bat after plugging it in. Navigate to /media and see what is listed there.
On a whim, I checked for system software updates on the computer and there were a few that needed installed. After installing them, everything works great. I'm using Rhythmbox and the phone now shows up in there and will let my sync.
Thanks for the suggestions!
When installing smartwatch apps from Google play on my phone it goes on my watch and stays there..right?
well my problem is that I don't have much space on my phone for useless apps to be saved there and take my storage space. Whenever I uninstall the G Watch' apps from my phone it stays on my G Watch until I sync with Bluetooth again, and then it'll just disappear from it. Is there any workaround for this? I tried sideloading the downloaded apk files to my watch after I uninstalled them with no luck.
Code:
unzip nameof.apk
adb install res\raw\*.apk
So Google Pixel has a really cool selling point. Since the Camera is linked with your google drive (which has unlimited storage for regular HD photos), you essentially can be taking an unlimited amount of photos. However the Pixel is also stupidly priced (its a great phone, but if Im going to burn $1000 its going to be on an ACTUAL computer)
It got me thinking though is there a way accomplish the same task on a regular old android? I had a few Ideas an hit some brick walls.
1) My first idea was to download a photo app that would allow me to change where the storage is placed. There is one that exists however I was simply able to create a folder inside the path /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera. This might prove useful, but I am unable to change it directly into the google drive app.
2)My second idea was to download a file manager and try to change the route directly that way, possibly by deleting /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera and simply replacing the Google drive folder into that location and giving it the same name. I seem unable to do this though as I can not "Move" or alter the drive folder at all in the file manager I downloaded.
3)My THIRD idea was to create a symbolic link to the /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera connecting the Google drive folder to that folder. I downloaded a Terminal Emulator and with my elementary knowledge of BASH gave su access and attempted to link to the drive. I was unable to do this as any Camera image I take STILL saves directly to the phone!
Can someone please laugh at me already and tell me there is an easy way to accomplish this? I just want to STOP my phone from saving photos to my memory and simply have them stashed in my Google Drive! I REALIZE its possible to syn the two, however I dont want to have to constantly be emptying my storage.
Maybe I didn't get what you asked, but couldn't you just download Google Photos from Play Store and enable synchronisation?
EDIT: Missed your last lines, I'm sorry dunno why, anyway, on Oreo you can automatically empty your memory every 30/60/90 days through settings. Unfortunately I don't know if there's a way on Nougat and below.
Hi,
I have a old game on a samsung S3 that I would like to play, but seems after updating the android version is to old and the game crashes at end of loading, problem is I need to fill in a password in the game for me to transfer the game to another phone, is there a way to copy the game over as full to another phone and/or copy the whole phone and emultate it in windows so I can just start the game and change the password so I can transfer the account to another phone?
thanks
I have an Android game that hasn't been maintained since 2015.
(for the record, the game is Imperium Galactica 2, or com.digitalreality.ig2 but no longer available on google play).
The idea is to install the .apk file and then place the game files into Android/obb.
The game launches normally, and seems to work fine. The only problem is that I cannot save a game.
I tried installing it on a Nox player emulator, and there the games are saved normally. I see the games are saved in the directory Android/data/com.digitalreality.ig2/files.
I used total commander on my phone to create those directories, but the games still cannot be saved. It seems that the game cannot get access to that directory to save.
Any ideas on how I could make this work? (rooting is not an option).
bump, any help appreciated

What do you mean exactly, I don't understand.
Also as I said, saved games work normally in the Nox emulator.
