Folder Syncing - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm looking for an app that would allow me to 2-way sync a picture folder on my phone and tablet over wifi. Does such an app exist? Everything I've seen in the Play Store sync device to PC but I havent seen anything that syncs device to device.

Theoretically, Dropbox can do it.

How?

If you have the dropbox app on both it will sync your selected folder(s) to their server and also to any device with your account and anyone else with whom you have shared a folder.

So youre saying I can choose a folder on my phones internal storage and drop box will mirror any changes to that folder on the internal storage of my tablet?

Stupid question.

Email attachments. If i receive an email with a .jpg I get a 'download' option with it so I can save it on my sd card...but any other file types...pdf, mp3 I don't get any option to save. I tried opening an email with an mp3 attachment in the email client, maildroid and gmail app and only in gmail app did I get a 'preview' button..but that only gave the option of previewing with OfficeSuite and one other program not capable of playing mp3's.
Is this a 'feature' of android that you can't just save an attachment?
I find with yahoo I can save all my attachments, it creates its own SD file and places them there. Have you tried 'download all files' apk? Its free on market and should be able to convert attachments to store correctly on SD card. It worked for me with a few zip files I wanted to save to SD.

Gallery and Picasa Problems (Solved , Thanks )

Seems when you register your google account it automatically pulls pictures from your Google + Account and Picasa into your Gallery..
I do not want that, eats up storage space and I rather not have those pictures on there
So far the only solution I have found to this is to delete my Gmail account off the tablet which I dont want to do..
Any other sugestions to delete this pictures or just get rid of them
Cant delete already tried that, once synced up they are there for good it seems
Have you tried going into Settings> Accounts, selected your Google account and unchecked Picasa?

When the account is setup, you can click on the account and it will give you all the Google services you can sync. You are able to uncheck Picasa.

Any apps that can access multiple storage accounts?

I was browsing the Windows 8 app store and came across an app that will be able to access numerous cloud storage accounts from the one app. So far they have skydrive and Dropbox, and when I contacted them they said that they would also have Box access soon. You will also be able to access multiple accounts of the same type ie Ie have 3 skydrive accounts.
So my question really is, is there an app in android that can so this?

Maybe you should try this ----> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.full&hl=en
They have a lite version too, if you want to try it first.
The description says they support multiple skydrive/box/dropbox etc acoounts.

EStrong (ES) File Explorer will do that. It's integrated with their file manager which is free on the Play Store.
Just swipe to the panel left of the main screen and you can setup dropbox, box, skydrive, google drive and several other cloud storage accounts and access them as remote file servers.

Sweet thanks. I actually have ES installed already. Will give it a look.

Solid Explorer is another alternative. Looks good with the dark theme

+1 for FolderSync. Can even setup to sync One-way either way, or both ways any combo, at any times, even upon change.
Also for a regular file explorer w/root HIGHLY recommend

I use to have multiple file explorers until I found this.

Auto sync folder App

So i'm looking for an app that will automatically sync a folder on my tablet with a folder on my PC whenever I log into a wireless network. I don't want to use the cloud. My thought is to remote into my home PC while at work, drop files/apps into a shared folder on my local machine then when i get home from work and my tablet is within wifi range it will automatically sync the folder on my pc to my tablet. Any suggestions?
Folder Sync by Tacit Dynamics is awesome. There's a free version you can try out. It's so powerful and versatile that I paid for it.

Confirm, folder sync is gold.

I want to sync photos to specific folders on my iMac

Hey guys,
Can anyone recommend a good app to sync my photo's to specific folders on my iMac? Right now I am using Dropbox and I am manually dragging the photos into the folders. I also use Picasa so I can view the folders that are on my Mac on my phone but I need to have a good data connection and they load slowly.
Ideally I would love to be able to organize the photo's on my phone......for example move a photo from "Camera Shots" to a folder I created...then manually sync over WiFi when I get home at the end of the day and have the folders on my phone and Mac be identical once and for all.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance
AirSync by double twist? Anyone have experience with this?
Air sync is awesome! I haven't used it for pics but for music is works great. Definitely worth the buy

Thanks! That good to know because I just started using iSyncr to sync with my iTunes. This would kill two birds with one stone.
Do you know if I can choose to have it sync photo's to specific folders that already exist on my Mac?

Not sure about specific folders. Drop sync pro is another option for specific folders. Not sure if they got a Mac client tho, if they do that's what you need
