What’s the best way to sync a folder from my windows pc to my android phone in 2023?
Syncthing. Easy to use, easy to understand.
^ I’ve used Syncthing for years, works like a charm.
Thanks! I got SyncThing setup and it’s doing exactly what I was hoping for.
Literally just set it up today for Obsidian, works like a charm.
Syncthing is great once you have it working. It’s not the most intuitive application though. SyncTrayzor helps a lot for pc usage
SyncTrayzor
Looks like you meant “SyncTrayzor”.
I’ve considered SyncThing before but it looked very fiddly. SyncTrayzor should be very helpful.Syncthing all the way. Once setup and forget.
I have it sync to pc, other android devices and Nas. I have also synced my Dropbox to phone
This is the setup I’m using, too. Does everyone have the irritating problem on Windows, though, where Synctrayzor really likes to float some sort of tooltip with its own name in the upper-left corner? Even overlays full-screen games for me.
I use Resilio Sync, its been a great tool for me.
Same. The free version is sufficient. I use it to transfer the full resolution photos and videos from the phone to two computers. Syncthing is also good.
Syncthing.
I use Autosync (Android devices --> Google Drive) and Google Drive’s desktop app. Works perfectly for me.
You can set it up for a single folder if you like (I keep about 5 folders synced).
As others have said it would havetio be SyncThing. I’m sure other solutions exist but it’s remarkably easy.
I don’t do Windows, but I happily sync directories between my Android phones and my Linux PCs (especially a cloud server I lease) with rsync over ssh within Termux.
If you can set up an rsync server on Windows that should work. Besides actually implementing robust and efficient sync, rsync is also smart about platform differences.
For the specific case of Windows to Android, I’ve heard of people scripting up tools to shove all the contents of a directory over adb push.
I am trying to do this with my nextcloud, any idea? (For my phone to download automarically the new version of a file)
Eigentlich sollte das Funktionieren, wenn du im three-dot Menü den punkt synchronisieren anwählst 👍
The comment being in German but the language being set to
English
made me laughOh fuck :D i was on autopilot 😂😂😂
whaaaaat?
Sorry, I was on autopilot 😂
If you select “Sync” or smth similar in the three-dot-menu on the file or folder, it should be synced between your device and the cloud
“It should work when you select the item “synchronize” in the three-dot-menu”
Thanks for translating my brainfart :D
Kein Problem, ein viel zu bekannter Fehler ;)
Einer der viel beschworenen Layer-9 Bugs :D
