I have an app called WLD (wake lock detector from play) which shows what apps acquired cpu wake locks and for how long since the last reboot or charge.

My Sync Ultimate is configured with many profiles but none of them have anything in Start/Stop or Conditions so I use it as manual sync after which I Exit it to close the background service.

I found out that WLD is showing that Sync Ultimate is still keeping a CPU lock if I don't Exit it:

So I start Sync Ultimate, do not run any profiles, leave it in background and it keeps the CPU lock. The same is happening at a reboot: Sync Ultimate is started, don't have any work to do but WLD is showing increasing time for the CPU lock held by this app.

CPU lock is named 'Ice Cold Apps'.

Case Sensitive directory errors on Dropbox

Ok, I think I've tracked down what's causing the problems, in all cases the directories that fail to copy from drop-box to SD Card there are Case Sensitive mismatches between drop-box and where they're copying to. For some reason Dropbox is giving a mix of lowercase and uppercase directories even for files in the same directory.

on Dropbox

/Music/Various artists/musicfile1.mp3

/music/various artists/musicfile2.mp3

when copied to extsd/

Music directory is created ( if music directory is already present it will fail. )

Various artists directory is created ( again if various artists is already present it will fail. )

musicfile1.mp3 is copied

musicfile2.mp3 fails to copy ( copies to the temp directory but fails to copy to the destination directory from there )

It'll either error 4 times and fail or just sit there after downloading and get stuck unable to move to the next file.

It seems to fail as the directory doesn't match case sensitively.

I don't think Music and music can exist in the same location on the SD but do seem to exist in the same location on Drop-Box.

Hope this will help.
[Android Apps and Games] synchronizeruser:
I'm would like to use the app quite the same way as tgp1994 wants to.

I tried it with Llama. But Llama only can start SynchronizeUltimate but not stop it.

All the times when Llama successfully kills the app (about 30 minutes after the synchronizing job has finished) SynchronizeUltimate starts again by itsself. I don't know why.

Edit on 09.08.15:

Still no reply? Doesn't anyone know how to exit SynchronizeUltimate externally?

Almost every other app can be killed; but why not this one???

Every help would be appreciated!

After a phone reboot last evening, I forgot to exit Sync Ultimate. All this time, more then 19h, Sync Ultimate kept the CPU lock, not letting Android sleep, draining battery faster.

How to set up sync to my local Windows10 computer?

[MENTION=706513]Themuzz[/MENTION]

Not sure if you recall but a while ago I mentioned I was having problems syncing with my box account as the app was trying to re-upload files that already existed on the cloud resulting in errors even though I'd selected the option to ignore duplicates and use the database. This happened with several of my folders but not all of them.

For some reason the database wasn't being built. Under the "Info" tab under the profile it would always show 0 items. Anyways. I tried a bunch of things. I deleted every file in case there was a corrupt file or something but still had the same problem. I tried various profile settings but nothing worked.... Until now.

I went into the "advanced" tab of the profile and selected the option at the bottom to "Only re-sync if source file is modified". Then I put in an exclusion to ignore any file over 1 byte (which basically meant no files met the criteria for syncing). I ran that profile once and that resulted in the database successfully building. I then removed the exclusion criteria and all my files synced perfectly!

Im not sure why it wasn't building the database in the first place but there you go. Thought I'd post here in case anyone has similar problems.
[Android Apps and Games] Andre1299:

[Android Apps and Games] tgp1994:
Yes, this is what I'm talking about. I think it's pretty important that Sync Ultimate has automation built in, which more and more apps seem to be doing on their own. If Sync Ultimate can start and stop its self on its own, then we're golden!

CPU Usage & SMB Sync

Hi,

Having the same issue as others - whenever Synchronize Ultimate is running in the background, it's using a lot of CPU power, so the only way to prevent that is to exit the application and stop background services.

The second issue I have is, that it is not syncing "different" files. I'm syncing between my external SD card and a SMB share, files with identical names, but different time stamps and/or different file sizes are not being sync'ed :( In advanced settings checkboxes for "Use file size check for comparison" and "Use file last modified date check for comparison" are both set. Sync Type is two ways with "synchronize deletions" ticked as well.

Cheers,

Martin

Found this app when looking for a way to back up all my savestates and game data from RetroArch - if I configure RetroArch to keep all my saves in one directory, I can sync multiple games'/systems' worth of time and effort to Google Drive or Mega with one push.

Something edge-case-ish I'd like, is the ability to soft-schedule an automatic sync. That is, once the schedule time hits, display a notification with start/postpone buttons, with configurable default behavior if the device's screen isn't on or the notification times out for whatever reason. Is that something that could be better accomplished with Tasker?

Starting Rule

Hi!

Nice app, I like to buy the paid version.

Can Synchronize Ultimate start synchronizing when I add/change a file in a specific folder? I didn't find a rule for that?

And a feature request: create folders on the file manager. When I would manually copy some files, that this would be useful.

Hey [MENTION=5001409]bigdave79[/MENTION] I'm experiencing the exact same problem with syncing certain files with my Box acoount. 1st I tried to delete any file in the target folder and sync worked well. After the successful sync I tried to sync a 2nd time and it ended up with errors again. I will try the workaround you have provided and hope, there is a solution for the problem.

Update: The "only sync if source file has changed"-setting consistently helped for me to avoid errors

[Android Apps and Games] omnia09user:
I think I have found something that can be improved in the app.

I have cleared the cache of the apps and I have found that Synchronize Ultimate forgot the synchronized file list and forgot as well the enable flag of my two sync profiles.

I have re-enabled the sync profiles and now it is syncing everything again taking hours.

In my opinion the enable flag and the sync db should not be saved in the cache but in the data.
[Android Apps and Games] Gilles0181:
I have a question on how to setup a specific profile.

What i would like to achieve is to facilitate camera upload.

So i created a profile, set left side and right side and made sure the start/stop was set to 'instanc sync (listener)'.

However, i only want this profile to run when WiFi is connected, so i made sure that conditions are set to 'Wifi Connected' allow running and 'Wifi Disconnected' disallow running.

Another start/stop rule would be needed to sync all photos which are taken when NOT on wifi (e.g. 3g/4g) and then arriving in a WiFi zone, so i made a start/stop rule 'wifi connected' start sync.

This would be enough, right?

[Android Apps and Games] TuRDMaN:
I realize this is old, but I just got the app, and I'm really liking it, but I'm having this issue as well. While doing a sync over SFTP, the speed maxes out around 150-200KBytes/s (looking at the actual transfer speed, not logs). While doing the same sync over SMB, I was getting speeds above 1MByte/s. It's not a server issue, because I was getting normal speeds while doing an SFTP sync with a different syncing app.
[Android Apps and Games] gsquared:
While I recognize the irony of a PC related request for info in an android forum, the reality is that, with the exception of photos, most of the data that we want to sync to our tablets and phones ultimately comes from somewhere else, and I've yet to find anything that even remotely provides the functionality of Synchronize Ultimate. This isn't the backup that CrashPlan provides to their own specific cloud, or the synchronization provided a singular cloud Service like Dropbox or OneDrive, or even the cloud-to-cloud migration provide by MultCloud, but instead the ability to fully synchronize to multiple user-provided cloud back-ends, with user-defined rules. The closest I've been able to find is Odrive and CloudBuckIt, but both are woefully inadequate for what I seek (in their current implementations at least ...

MEGA Cloud - Mega problems

Hello,

I have many issues with MEGA Cloud. The Application

sometimes

sync something, but more often doesn't. Even when synchronization finishes without showing errors, there are many errors in the log and the whole process are very slow. Eg syncing 9 files (about 2 MB total) lasts about 1-2 minutes. And in the log there are:

- Connection 1 error: https : / / g.api.mega.co.nz/cs?id=..........

(above line several times)

- Copy file error (0): https : / /g.api.mega.co.nz/cs?id=..........

(above line several times)

- Synchronizing error : https : / / g.api.mega.co.nz/cs?id=..........

etc.

I've bought the app mainly for syncing with MEGA so I hope these issues will be resolved :)

*Spaces in links because stupid forum doesn't allow me to enter such texts, even not as active links.

---------- Post added at 01:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 PM ----------

One more information - there are many active connections listed in the MEGA history. The application very often creates new connection (sometimes two new in the same minute) and doesn't close previous. I had to manually kill about fifteen connections, still active, created by Synchronize Ultimate. Maybe it is a source of some problems?
[Android Apps and Games] eric2:
I am unable to only include a sub-sub folder.

What I'm trying to do is sync from left to right only the folder named "sync" and its content:

/sdcard/dir-1/ => /sdcard/dir-2/

Content of left (source):

/sdcard/dir-1/test/no.txt

/sdcard/dir-1/test/sync/yes.txt

So, only the folders "test" and "test/sync" and the file "yes.txt" should be copied. The file "no.txt" should _not_ be copied.

When I include the folder "sync" (Include + Folder name equals = sync), nothing will be created or copied.

I've also tried to do this using path name equals "test/sync" with the same result.

I get the same result when using REGEX for folder or path.

It looks like matching sub-sub folders is not working, even though matching files in the sub-sub folder is working. For example, an Include + File name equals "yes.txt" will work... but that is not what I want.

This, of course, is just a test setup. The ultimate goal is to have only one sync profile that will sync all folders named "sync", no matter how deep these special folders are inside the root folder.

can't update files

I tried all the options, but I can't get it to re-upload existing file to Google Drive and sftp folder. What am I missing?

EDIT I wasn't missing anything. It's just that apparently some time must pass (a week in this case) from edit for the app to notice change on sdcard. btw, I'm on CM13 so I don't think media rescan applies here, but anyway this was a txt file.

after i change roms, path of sdcard changes from storage/extsdcard/ to /storage/sdcard1.

but then the app decided to upload all the files in that directory for some reason.

any idea why that happened?

[Android Apps and Games] mis2417:
memory

it's awfully memory inefficient. synchronizing 6000+files folder causes interface to lock-out and lockscreen comes on. this wasn't an issue with ie. foldersync
[Android Apps and Games] mis2417:
Regarding not syncing

i synced a few times, manually single folder, all google drive folders, all sftp folders, didn't help

sync log was not helpful, just indicated that dir (subdir) was checked and no new items were found. I even changed "difference in bytes" and "difference in ms" to 1, but it didn't work. however, when I created a new file - it was uploaded, even though modified were ignored.

==========

Regarding lockup after syncing

folders (all are on external SD)

"junk" (no problem here, few files, few subfolders)

"music" (one dir, around 1000 ~8MB files, one lockup about 2/3 of the sync - l think) EDIT2:now it's ok - no problems

"pictures"

are synced to google drive and sftp-over-local-network

real fun begins with "pictures" folder

/storage/2513-E422/Pictures

1.8G 2014-5 - this is a main problem since there are 6000 jpg/gif files inside

64K 77df39723679ac564a9bb02115df1aa27a0f807162fa9f91f6440e9275b79433.jpg

162M Comics (few hundred jpg files)

99M Faces (few hundred jpg files)

17M Icons (few hundred jpg files)

175M Ideas (few hundred jpg files)

384M Reactions (few hundred jpg and gif files)

47M Screenshots (few hundred jpg files)

188M Wallpapers (few hundred jpg files)

(as you can see, most of the filenames are 64 chars long)

this sync simply kills my device, few interface crashes which results in exit to lockscreen, also device is unresponsive for a few minutes.

by device i mean LG G4 H815 (3GB RAM) with CM13 nightly.

nevertheless I am profoundly happy with the app, since it provides backup and doesn't require resync of ALL THE FILES after reinstall like ie FolderSync.

EDIT: just a thought.

log file and sync status (checkmark on the green item icon) are cleared everytime I start the app. also, a simpler logfile option of synched items would be interesting, like in FolderSync.
[Android Apps and Games] pitastrudl:
As far as i remember i did not clear the DB. I dont even remember such an option existed. Im not sure if there was a popup. I did not change the folder itself.

i backed up the app when i was on aosp then restored it on google play edition. Didnt change anything except the directory in the sync profile. How can i avoid this in the future?

Does Synchronize Ultimate support normal http protocol for files (like wget)?

[MENTION=706513]Themuzz[/MENTION]

Hello everybody, i wasn't here for a while and now i have two things to improve the app:

1. With the dark grey theme, i have popups with black font on dark grey background. Not a good readable combination.

2. File syncing: on file conflicts there are basically only two options, overwrite or skip file.

It would be realy nice, if there would be a third option "generate copy".

The file still gets copied with a suffix like "*_copyFromSourceX.abc".

In some use cases this option would be a big improvement in my opinion, because if files get skipped you can't distinguish already existing indentical and conflicting files.

[MENTION=6987606]mis2417[/MENTION] I'll try to reproduce the bug with the lock up and not syncing. Regarding the keeping of the log, that is a feature request we get quite often, however, unfortunately it will cost a lot of space for people how sync a lot of files. Maybe later on we'll add it as an optional setting. Thanks for the idea!

[MENTION=4097987]pitastrudl[/MENTION] I'm not sure how to prevent the resyncing from happening, did you also backup the cache folder? That contains the db for now. Apologies.

[MENTION=4771216]boocko[/MENTION] We don't support the basic http protocol yet, however I could easily implement it. So basically you would to download a file from an url every once in a while?

Regarding the PHP scrips, the links to them can be found in a tab on the settings page of the remote account (PHP Script). I'll add the links to the first post as well in the next couple of days.

[MENTION=6046138]rakprorok@gmail.com[/MENTION] We tested as much as we could and it worked now on all our devices. Could you let me know the device and exact Android version you have? Also, could you maybe create a new Mega account with another password and test whether that one works? And if it still doesn't work maybe I would try that same Mega aco**** just in case it has something to do with the password.

[MENTION=1960712]Johi-Wan[/MENTION] Thanks for the feedback! We'll look into improving the theme. Regarding the renaming option on conflicts, that's a good idea! We'll try to implement that, thanks.

Appreciate the timely update.

On another topic:

Has anyone found already a solution to sync with a local folder on an external SD card (like in Galaxy S5, S3 etc.) on Android M (CM13) ??

I can't seem to get that working, the app fails writing onto a folder on the external SD. I know Titanium backup also needed to provide the new DocumentProvider concept to make it work. So I wonder if this is on the roadmap too, as this is the next dealbreaker for me.

But who knows, maybe someone has a workaround for me...
