I'd like an app that syncs folders with my pc wirelessly. Does that exist?
For example, create a set of folders on my desktop called 'music', 'documents', 'pictures' and have it sync when in wifi range to my phone with the same folders...
I know that doubletwist syncs with itunes, but I cant specify a music folder...so doubletwist sees all my podcast stuff and messes up browsing the music library.
You might try the well-named app, FolderSync. I use it to sync with cloud based storage and network attached storage. But it also has an SMB connection type, so you should be able to sync with your computer.
I'm going to look into FolderSync. Dropbox doesn't quite provide what I want. What I want is a folder syncing program that is completely seamless and transparent to my phone. So to what look at pictures I open pictures, to listen to music I open music, and everything is synced.
I don't want to have to open dropbox to see the pictures, music, etc.
I've tried both FolderSync and Titanium Media Sync (TMS). I use a one-way sync from phone to PC via FTP. Here are some pros and cons of each:
FolderSync Pros:
maintains timestamp of file
FolderSync Cons:
overwrites files that haven't changed on phone
no support
instant sync feature doesn't work
TMS Pros:
syncs efficiently and accurately
TMS Cons:
doesn't maintain timestamps
can't sync to both laptops simultaneously
no support
Since the issue of FolderSync repeatably uploading files to PC that haven't changed is intolerable, I've disqualified it. The cons of TMS are not nearly as serious so I continue to use it and overall am quite satisfied with it. I would rate FolderSync a 1 and TMS a 4 on a scale of 1-5
