I am a pro user for two and a half years now, mostly via SMB as there was not Sync.Ultimate update since Synology changes their software from DSM 5.0 to DSM 6.0

Unfortunately after the recent update the app is not usable anymore as the SMB doesn't work any more.

I now have two major problems:

SMB

When trying to create a remote SMB account, the Server (Synology Nas with DSM 6.0) is found when pressing search, but no matter what login details I use (wrong or right) I get the error:

jcifs.SmbException: failed to connect.

Synology account

Contrary to my first try (SMB), the second try to create a remote account via Synology protocol worked.

It is also possible to create a sync profile with this account, but only via the wizard. Once I click "advanced" at the end of the wizard and try to save, I get the error message "Right side: Upload not available" (whatever this means).

It is only possible to save the profile by clicking the back arrow to re-enter the wizard, and then pressing the save button.

Unfortunately the next error is not far away:

The created profile should backup one folder from the SD-card on my mobile to my NAS.

The task says: Left side, SD-Card folder -> right side, Synology account (LAN) folder

When the process is started I only get errors in the log file:

copy(1) "test.jpg"

[sync] [Testprofile] - Copy file error (0): null

[sync] [Testprofile] - Copy file error (1): null

[sync] [Testprofile] - Copy file error (2): null

[sync] [Testprofile] - Copy file error (3): null

[sync] [Testprofile] - Copy file error (4): null

copy(1) "test2.jpg"

[sync] [Testprofile] - Copy file error (0): null

[sync] [Testprofile] - Copy file error (1): null

[sync] [Testprofile] - Copy file error (2): null

[sync] [Testprofile] - Copy file error (3): null

[sync] [Testprofile] - Copy file error (4): null​

and so on...

I have tested this on two different android devices with android marshmallow, same errors.

Please let me know when there will be an update for both, SMB and Synology accounts.

Many Thanks in advance

We're still looking into the SMB problems but can't seem to be able to reproduce it. [MENTION=7264522]DSLeX[/MENTION] We have a Synology DSM 6 setup as well (6.1.3 with latest updates installed), and can connect just fine through SMB. Could you try to add a new test user Test1 and a password and select 1 or 2 shares the test user has access to? Let me know if you still get the error. Thanks for helpin!

[MENTION=7264522]DSLeX[/MENTION] [MENTION=2769491]wbedard[/MENTION] In regard to the Synology file station api, in the latest DSM 6 synology has broken their own API which causes us to be unable to upload files (everything else works fine). We're expecting them to fix it soon. When you add a normal remote account it warns that the "left side", the synology, doesn't support uploading. When using the wizard we have a bug where the wizard doesn't check for no upload available. Sorry about that.

Our main focus is to get SMB working perfect again, apologies for all the problems. I'll try to upload a beta soon.

[MENTION=8078072]timangus[/MENTION] Working on it, thanks!

@bh77a Weird, nothing in that regard changed, we'll look into it.

We'll try to upload a beta soon, if [MENTION=7264522]DSLeX[/MENTION] could you try the test account and post the result here? That way we can maybe upload a new beta today which hopefully fixes it :)

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] DSLeX:
Dear Themuzz, Thanks for your reply.

I'm running DSM 6.1.3-15152 Update 1 installed on my DS412+.

Now I have created a test account "Test1" with a simple password (no special characters, in case that might be a problem).

Still I get the same error message when I click on the (i) symbol on the remote account:

​

jcifs.SmbException: failed to connect. 0.0.0.0<00>/192.168.0.30

Hope it will be fixed soon.

Thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
[MENTION=7264522]DSLeX[/MENTION] I have the exact same setup, a synology with DSM 6.1.3-15152 Update 1 and also installed on a DS412+ :) It seems to be running fine here however it does take a bit longer to connect than with the older version (4 seconds roughly). I have just released a new beta (you can subscribe on Play using the link in the first post in this thread) with some SMB fixes and changes. Also, on the advanced tab you can now switch enabling SMB 2 or not. So please give it a try and let me know if it works.

If it doesn't work, could you let me know how many shares the SMB folder has and what the average name length of the shares is? Thanks for helping.

Anyone else with feedback on the beta is welcome :)

Changes:

Fixed import/export bugs

Fixed and extended SMB/SMB 2 support

Fixed instant sync bugs

Improved file selection

I tested the beta on two devices (both on Marshmallow) and it worked with SMB!

I only get the before mentioned error if I use the SMB2 option in SU.

As the SU 3.0.14 used to work, I assume the error occurs because of the SMB2 protocol in the newer version.

On my Synology I only have the standard SMB settings activated. If SMB2 works for you, maybe you have different settings here?

[IMG="Synology SMB settings"]http://fs5.directupload.net/images/170811/mn8rzpw7.jpg[/IMG]

Thanks for your help!

EDIT: BTW, I only have 10 shared folders, should not be an issue.

EDIT 2: An overall progress bar or a remaining time display, for the specific task would be helpful.

Maybe for a quick and dirty solution a status like "file 22/123" (22rd file out of 123 total synced) to provide a rough estimation for the user.

I decided to try the updated beta this morning and it fixed my previously mentioned SMB problems.

Good job on the beta and looking forward to the release.

Thanks so much for your time and patience with all of us!

**Update**
[MENTION=706513]Themuzz[/MENTION]

Just tried the updated beta again this morning. I decided to check the SMB 2 box in the advanced tab of remote account and sync. Doing this gives me the same errors I receive on the current release.

After unchecking SMB2 box, I'm able to perform a successful sync. Hope this helps!
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
[MENTION=7264522]DSLeX[/MENTION] Great to hear it works again! And I also have the default synology settings but mine says maximum SMB protocol: SMB1. So I was testing all the time against SMB 1 without noticing.. Apologies about that, I dig into it :) [MENTION=8078072]timangus[/MENTION] Could you let me know if the beta fixes the SCP select key bug and folder listener? Thanks!

So since the beta fixes the SMB problem I want to release it but first would love to hear if the import/export works ok or better now.

So feedback on the beta is welcome :D
[Android Apps and Games] timangus:
Key selection works great now, but still no luck with instant sync, unless I'm doing something wrong? I have it set on my camera folder so that the picture gets uploaded as soon as I take it, or at least that's the theory. I'm using an SD card as expanded storage though, not sure if it matters?
[Android Apps and Games] timangus:
[MENTION=706513]Themuzz[/MENTION] A bit more information. I tried it on my Android 5 based tablet and it all works fine, as it appeared to on my phone with Android 7.0. It's only since an OTA to 7.1.1 that it stopped working.

[MENTION=8078072]timangus[/MENTION] good to hear the scp sync works again. For the folder listener, I tried it on a nexus 9 with android 7.1.1 and it works fine. You did try a reboot? [MENTION=8457575]Brimar127[/MENTION] Thanks for letting me know! It really is the SMB 2 problem

I started rolling out the beta to release, though did anyone try the import/export? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
*Update: duplicate post
[Android Apps and Games] timangus:
Tried a reboot, then I tried backing up and restoring my settings, then I tried wiping the app data and setting up from scratch, none of which have helped. I'm not sure it's relevant but when I try to use the additional "Storage (Read/Write)" remote as my sync source I get an error "In order for the instant sync rule to work the correct side must point to the internal storage". When I use the regular "Storage" sync source I don't get this error.

When you tested it were you using an SD card to expand internal storage? I'm wondering if there is something to do with using an SD card this way that prevents whatever event/hook firing that triggers instant sync?
[Android Apps and Games] thecrater:
hello [MENTION=706513]Themuzz[/MENTION] . The new version seems to have introduced another bug. I use SMB to synchronise to my computer but since since upgrading to the latest version the profile keeps resynchronising all the files every time I sync. The folder I'm synchronising has over 2500 files and it took well over 8 hours to synchronise over wifi which is not ideal as you can imagine. I put up with it the first time I ran the profile after upgrading because I thought it might be necessary since a bug was fixed in the latest release but now I added some 30 files, tried to sync and it started doing it all over again. Please help!
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
[MENTION=8078072]timangus[/MENTION] Thanks for all the testing. I haven't tried it with an external SDCard so I will try that out. Thanks again!

[MENTION=2536242]thecrater[/MENTION] That should not happen. Sounds like something went wrong with the DB which keeps track of changed files. Could you try to reset the DB? Long click the sync profile->Information->Reset. It does mean it will loop over all the files and if the differences are within the set rules it will skip them. Let me know if that helps/work and of course apologies.

Did anyone else try the beta? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] DSLeX:
[MENTION=706513]Themuzz[/MENTION]

I can confirm the database issue from [MENTION=2536242]thecrater[/MENTION].

Even after I reset the DB and synced once again, each subsequent run will start the whole process all over again.

Thanks for your help.

[Android Apps and Games] thecrater:
[MENTION=706513]Themuzz[/MENTION]

Thakns for your help. I ended up resetting the DB and re-syncing everything which as you can imagine is not ideal but it's happy now. I hope the same doesn't happen again with the next update as I'm using the app (which is otherwise great) to sync photos to my PC and would hate to lose them as it leaves a corrupt or half-synced file if I interrupt the process :(

HowTo? I'd installed SUL some month ago, intended to use it now. The goal is to save all NEW photos of an android smartphone to a shared folder of a w10 desktop by wifi. Using a diskstation instead of th pc, it works, but trying zu save into the shared folder, I get the message ; failed to lookupaddress for name \\server\bilder\Sony\.

Howto configure? The information inside the app once, the web twice is smalllllll.......

it works fine

but ... the profile is not there when I enter the app again. It's gone, the profile are not saved. I have tested in KK 4.4 and JB 4.2.2. I have used the search engine but I can not find a solution. This app is from 2013. Is not this problem solved yet?

Hi!

I've started using the current beta version of Synchronize Ultimate and found a strange issue with battery drain.

Even after restarting the phone, the application is draining a lot of battery, without using it at all, no set schedules to run in the background.

Any idea why? Is there something I can do to help identifying the problem?

Running Android 7 on Nexus 5x.

Thanks,

Ruediger

Hello [MENTION=706513]Themuzz[/MENTION] and all,

I've recently moved to a new phone and managed to transfer my data as well as profiles to the new phone. However, I tried running one of the profiles as a test and I've got the Advanced section configured as follows:

First time conflict - Skip file

Database conflict - Skip file

Compare (ticked the following):

Use Database

Use file size check for comparison

use file last modified date check for comparison

Difference in bytes

20 (default)

Difference in MS

1000 (not sure but I think this is the default as well)

When I run the profile it starts randomly copying and replacing files!

What am I doing wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] pepetops:
Hi. I use your very good App to backup my phone on my Linux pc, by sftp, copy phone -> PC, synchronize deletions, conflicts first time skip and database overwrite, compare with all except checksum. First time I had a error, previously I was installed and used the App Empty Folder Cleaner. I had an option empty files and dirs activated in your App.

The error was I hadn't permitted delete files or dir on my PC.

Well, I unchecked empty files and dirs on your App and I had the same error.

Finally I deleted all empty directories directly on my PC, and the backup was right

I don't understand why this error about permissions...

Hello. Please help! Can I create a profile that removes files older than the specified period from the ftp server? Not synchronized but deleted! For me, it would be great if could create an Account such as 'NULL' or 'HELL' or 'HEAVEN' or something, to which the uploaded (moved with the option to remove from source) files would be permanently deleted. Maybe this is an idea for [MENTION=706513]Themuzz[/MENTION] for the next version of perfect Synchronize Ultimate?

More SynchronizeUlltimate Sync Issues - Two Years Later

Hi there!

I never found resolution with this issue from a few years ago and just stopped using the product even though I LOVE it. I returned to it recently but under different specs/circumstances: Using a Samsung S7 and syncing with OneDrive and am still getting a frustrating "repeat offender" of files that have already been backed up copying during every backup. It basically makes the application unusable given I'm looking to transfer a few or maybe a few dozen files and it's circulating through hundreds and performing the copy. This is battery use, CPU use and Phone General Use hell.

I am not sure why this is not happening to more people or what I may be doing wrong, but it happens on every sync. I've tried multiple "Compare" techniques to see if the files were slightly off on something, but nothing works. Does anyone have any advice for how to get Synchronize Ultimate to only back up new files that have appeared in the folders?

Here's an example of two different syncs doing two totally different things (photos and audio sounds) that are both backing up files that are many months or many years old even though they already exist in the backup destination.

Current Settings:

Version 4.2.56 (30) (it's been happening for weeks now across multiple versions)

First time conflict: Skip file

Database conflict: Skip file

Compare

✓ Use database

✓ Use file check for comparison

Difference in bytes

200

What to Synchronize

Synchronize Folders

Synchronize Files

Here's a link to the partial text logs of the backups with extremely old files being copied:

EDIT: I am not allowed to post links so am going to quote it at bottom even though the message will be super long -- sorry!)

I'd love to use this app again. I just can't for the life of me understand why a sub-section of folders (note, it's not every folder/file that has this issue) backs up EVERY file every time I run the Sync.

Thanks for your help in advance!

PS: [MENTION=706513]Themuzz[/MENTION], I just got your PM from all that time ago. For some reason I never got an alert or saw it back then. A fresh install did not do the trick!

Hi [MENTION=706513]Themuzz[/MENTION]!

I am new to Synchronize Ultimate and currently use latest version from Playstore. My device is a Oneplus 3T with LineageOS 14.1.

I have created 2 profiles to sync with my Box account. Both work fine if I manually start them.

Both are set to start when wifi is connected, condition allow on wifi, disallow on disconnected.

When wifi is established, it starts but immediately stops:

I have no idea what could be wrong.

Any hint is appreciated.

Can someone please tell me which settings you use for Dropbox? Esp. Advanced settings tab. (I have no dropbox app installed an my device.)

I currently have the problem that Synchronize Ultimate endlessly up- and downloads files to/from Dropbox again and again. And just overwrites the already existing files with the same one from Dropbox.

[Android Apps and Games] :
Hello,

I'm using this app for 2 weeks.

Version - 4.2.56

Device - OnePlus 5T

Android Version - 7.1.1

Before I used FolderSync Pro. But it doesn't work properly even when I enabled instant sync. I downloaded almost every Syncing apps in the PlayStore and I think this is best.

This app is Syncing instantly if any changes I made in the folder I added for sync.

And I really appreciate the Include/Exclude rule.

The only think I don't like is, these two notifications are showing in the notification bar.

1. How to disable Completing task 1 of 1 from notification bar. If I disable this, Instant Sync feature work?

2. We can hide Synchronize Ultimate Running... notification in Synchronize app Settings-General or Android Settings-App Notification. But if we disable that, Instant Sync doesn't work. Can you do anything for that? I mean only show Service Icon, not in notification bar.

Can someone please throw light on the options? What does each option do? In First Time Conflict, does overwrite if older mean overwrite the destination file if source file is older or vice versa?
[Android Apps and Games] analyst44:
Finally switched to FolderSync a few months ago

Just to comment on my stuff and this post, as well as others who've shown frustration at similar issues: I have since converted to FolderSync and it's resolved all my issues. It flies through hundreds/thousands of files in a matter of a few minutes, never has the "overwrite" or re-copy issue and fits my needs very well. I tried Synchronize Ultimate for many many months on two different occasions over the years, but the issues outlined above, specifically the fact that it felt a need to re-copy thousands of files every time it was triggered was not acceptable for me given time, battery, etc.

I appreciate the developers of the SU app and I know they are doing their best, but I spent many hours trying to find a solution that FolderSync solved with no issues whatsoever. These kinds of apps are ones I just need to work without that kind of time commitment.

question suggestion

hi i cant seem to get it working with the ftp server on my router it doesnt seem to be able to open the links on the first directory i think because they are links and not actual directories is there anyway around this

my suggestion is this since this is a scyn app why not put a way to compare to folders in the app, i tried to sync with another app and got about halfway through when it died so now ive uploaded all this data but i dont know for sure what else needs to be uploaded did it get every subfolder and every file and there is no way to really check without going through each and every folder even then i dont know if the data is ok or corrupt is there no way to do this even by file size or something
