I have been using Drive Syncrypt (https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....drivesyncrypt) for a while now, primarily to backup work-related documents to my Google Drive (PDFs, Power Points, etc.). My phone started running low on space so I finally purchases a micro SD card and moved all of my files there. Down side is that Drive Syncrypt doesn't read from external SD cards so I can't point it there to back stuff up.
I looked around for a way to "trick" the app so that it wouldn't see it as an external SD card, but my researched proved to be more confusing than helpful. Some suggestions included "mounting the folder as a drive" (no idea what that really means), creating a symbolic link to the folder on the SD card, etc. This is all stuff I am not well versed in.
My question is: is there a way to make it look like a folder on an external SD card is not actually residing on the SD card, allowing me to point apps like Drive Syncrypt to it for syncing purposes?
Thanks in advance, any help would be greatly appreciated. If more details are needed or anything is unclear please let me know.
