I want to sync only a limited number of my music folders and videos from my Windows standard "My Music" and "My Videos" folders to the SG3.
I see that Kies has created folders of it's own like "video" and "music" within "My Documents/samsung/kies".
Am I right in assuming that Kies only syncs files and folders found within it's own samsung/kies folder?
In other words, it will NOT try to sync my entire Windows "My Music" or "My Videos" folders, or otherwise mess with them?
So, can someone confirm that what I should do is to copy only the files I want to sync to the"My Documents/samsung/kies" area ?
Thanks
Is there a way to make a folder on Google Drive appear to be local storage? I realize that I can access files in Google Drive through the Google Drive app (and through ES Explorer). However, I don't know how to make files on Google Drive appear as though they are local, so that any app can use a file stored on GD as though the file was local (without the app "knowing" that the file is really stored on GD.
Is there a way to do this?
Google Drive for PC has a fantastic feature that allows you to keep a folder on your desktop that automatically syncs whether you're saving files directly to that folder from your PC or downloading files that have been uploaded to google drive from another device. So even if I have no internet connection I can access the files I have on google drive.
Is there no ability to do this from android? I have a note 3 and I would very much like to have a similar folder on my phone that would automatically download/upload the latest version of any file I have on my google drive. But alas, I have to download anything I wish to edit locally on my phone and then manually navigate back to the folder to save it there when I am done. And if I have no internet connection, I'm screwed. I'm adding dozens of files every week so making each of them "available offline" is not something that is feasible for me.
If there is no way to do this with google drive, does anybody know of any alternatives?
Thanks!
I'm looking for an app that can sync files between my computer and my android devices. I need it to preserve the time stamp when uploading to Android and I need to be able to select individual folders.
The only two I have found so far are Dropsync (but I don't want to use Dropbox anymore) and Btsync, which didn't run reliable in my setup.
I tried several other ones like Bitcasa, Copy, Foldersync with Google Drive. All of them will the change the date on the Android device to the current one or won't allow to select individual folders.
Any ideas?
I can't get my head around the new google photo.
I have always used quickpic so I have always organized pic locally by folder.
In google photo I can choose which folder to sync but in the app pics are organized by date, no way to organise them by folder.
If I delete a pic from the google photo app, it is also deleted from the synced local folder (I check with solid explorer), but if I delete a pic from the synced local folder (with solid explorer) it is not delete from the google photo app. I understand this pic (the one I deleted from local folder) is still stored only online, so if I am not online (on the plane, for example) can I view this photo? I'd say no, since it is online only.
If it is so, when I open the google photo app, how do I know which pics are also phisically present on which synced local folders?
If instead of deleting the pic from the synced local folder I move them to a non synced local folder, does it mean I will have a copy online and a copy offline not in sync?
Thanks

If you organize by "album", it pretty much puts in in standard view like the gallery where they are grouped by location (DCIM, Download, etc)

You may be able to if it is cached on the device. That one I'm not to sure about that one.

Try testing by viewing a photo and seeing if you can download it. If you can, then it probably isn't on the phone, or at least not in the original backup location
If instead of deleting the pic from the synced local folder I move them to a non synced local folder, does it mean I will have a copy online and a copy offline not in sync?
Good Question! If you get a result from experimentation, please post it. I'm curuios to know.
Thanks

Also, does anyone know how the 'unlimited storage" thing will work with photos already backed up? It still shows my library as taking up 10 GB on drive when they were backed up to G+. They are definitely all 16 MP or less, so do I have to do anything to change this over to the "new" setting? Or will it automatically apply after Google works the kinks out?
