Does it work with mail ? It's not clear from their site, but since you use the same login, it could be very interesting to have gmail with push.
EDIT: Answered my own question.. No mail
Thats really cool! And about time! Too bad I have a lifetime subscription to GooSync which I love!!!
Works AWESOME.
Chanegs are updated in about 3 seconds either way. Also no duplicate appointments like some other google calendar sync programs.
no work with diamond.. :'(

Can't post a cab file, you have to enter login information
First before you do anything make a backup of your contacts and calendar!!!!
Okay, to make a setup cab is very easy, just follow the steps:
1) Download Scotchua Sample Google Sync XML.zip file
2) Extract the XML file "_setup.xml" which is inside the zip.
3) Open the file in Notepad (or an xml editor of your choice) not Wordpad.
4) Change "Enterusernamehere" and "Enterpasswordhere" to your actual username or password. (username is [email protected])
5) Save the file.
6) Use a compression program (personally i use Alzip, but any will do) and add the _setup.xml file to an archive, and save as file type ".cab"
7) Now you should have _setup.cab or something similar. You can name it whatever you want.
8) Copy the cab file to your device, and run it.
9) Your server should be setup.
can you only have 1 ativesync? i already have activesync account for my school email.
Can you sync just oneway? Just Google to WM or in other direction? I need the WM Contacts in Google and not the old Google contacts in WM...
does it perform OTA sync automatically?
Google sync - kinda cool but lacking
Does anyone know if there's some secret way to show birthdays in Google Contacts? I've never seen that data imported, whether using a CSV import, or with the new ActiveSync, although it puts the birthday events in Google Calendar.

Yes, I found it took about 3 seconds to update automaticaly. Either way.

I agree that i think that's nice and easy, but they're gonna have to step up the offering as far as the way contacts are handled before this is really a viable option. It is only the first public beta though so i'm sure more features are coming.
Unless I am missing something, it would be nice if it could sync more than just one calendar.
I get the following error
support code 0x85010004
I hate the fact that it syncs my contacts to lastname, firstname. I´m from Germany and am used to Firstname Lastname. I hope they implement that option in one of the next versions =)
This post is primarily pertaining to Gmail and Google Drive. Currently when I open a document (pdf, docx, xlsx, etc) from Gmail or Google Drive the files open in Quickoffice as expected. If I choose to make a file available offline in Google Drive it is available in ./sdcard/Android/<something docs>. I do enable encryption, so the contents of the file are scrambled. With Gmail if I save locally it creates the file in ./Downloads/.
All of this is fine and expected. My concern is for the first situation, when the Gmail attachment or Google Drive document opens in Quickoffice. I cannot find where this is cached locally. I am hoping it is /data/.
The reason I am asking is for security purposes. The inherent design of Android is open due to the /sdcard/ directory. Obviously any app on my phone can see any file there. Sometimes I have sensitive attachments I don't want exposed in these public directories. Are Gmail attachments and Google Drive documents cached securely in /data/ where other apps cannot access them when all I do is "preview" and not explicitly download a local copy?
For some reason when I open an. Xls document through drive and I can edit the document but when it comes to saving the document it won't let me save to drive only to a local location... Is there a work around? Really would like to overwrite the original document on google drive
Thank you

I use "Drive Autosync" to keep a local folder synced with my Google Drive cloud. You can set it up to sync all or parts/folders of your Gdrive.
Then, I can save changes with Hcell and Autosync will update the Gdrive version automatically.
One other note, Hcell cannot save to the external SD card so you will have to set your Gdrive sync location to the internal SD.
Hello everyone.
For a long time I am using quickpic(cmcloud) app. These days, the software was removed from google play store, cause some permissions issue, no I see that it is still visible.
App can auto backup photos, by keeping folder structure. The archive photos can be view in quickpic app also in web portal of cm cloud.
Since last updates, photos are backing up on web page, but not shown in to application. The has support of other clouds (gdrive, dropbox, samba and etc)
but it doesn't work correctly - didn't make auto backups (tried on two different devices)
I don't like google photos, cause I can't exclude folder and all photos are dropped in one global folder, no folder structure, date kept and etc.
Can you suggest some nice, pretty photo viewer, which supports auto backup or better sync photos with folder structure, using gdrive, dropbox, smb, ftp.. ?
Thanks in advance !
Hello, everyone.
My girlfriend is a teacher and she is trying to use her Galaxy Tab S6 to check students homework. They send her docx, pdf and jpg files. She is mainly concerned about docx and jpg files, but having some issues with it.
If she uses Google Drive to sync the files between her notebook and Google's cloud, she can open the jpg files using Google Photos and she has the option to edit it, using the pen. But when she opens docx files on Office for Android she does not have the option to save and and have it synced automatically. She has to save locally and then sync with Google Drive. I know she can use Google Docs to edit it, but she prefers Word.
So I sugested using OneDrive, cause she would probably not have that issue. And indeed she doesn't. She can edit the docx files and it automatically saves to OneDrive storage. But she can't open the jpg files with Google Photos like before. When opening the jpg files from OneDrive, using Google Photos, she does not have the option to edit it using the pen.
We are trying to find a way to have the best of both worlds. Any ideas?
Thanx.
