[MENTION=1259062]generic_blast[/MENTION] You should be able to run an FTP, SFTP, SMB or WebDAV server on your WD Cloud right? There isn't an API for the NAS yet so you'll have to do with those protocols, which should work fine :)

For weiyun, we've looked into it but it's hard to get approved and receive an API key... maybe you could help? If so please PM me!

And for the log which said destroyed, just ignore that, it meant a variable was destroyed when a window was closed, so nothing for your remote accounts changed :) We'll rename it to "Closed" for the next release :)

The notifications is something we're looking at, however, for now you should be able to disable notifications on the settings page of the app and from the sync profile.

And the battery problem, you can use Tasker for that so you can completely close the app and let Tasker do everything. I'll PM you later on with a code! Thanks!

More feedback is welcome! Thanks!

Very fast response...nice...

Okay back to my question....about the mycloud, I already SMB sync on it, but it will only works locally..the problem with smb sftp or webdav is that I need to use ddns to access from outside local network. Unfortunately my ISP is not ddns friendly, it rarely works at least with no-ip free account. If you have workaround on this I really want to know.

Weiyun closed API policy is no surprise and Im sorry I currently couldn't help you further with that.

About flickr, is there any documentation regarding the sync concept you use. Currently im using picbackman and I dont want to ruin my existing flickr sets and collections. I tried to search your site but could not find anything about this.

Synology File Station bug is solved

Hi Themuzz,

just for the sake of completeness :)

again it took some time... I installed the actual version on my phone and can confirm, that the "Error 408" message with Synology File Station does not appear anymore.

thank you!

Hi there.

Not sure if this problem has been reported before so forgive me if it has (couldn't find it using search). I am trying to sync the photos taken with my phone with my box storage. I'd already uploaded most of the pictures so when trying to sync I keep getting error 409. The app seems to be trying to upload files that already exist even though I've selected to skip duplicates. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Slow local folders sync fixed!

Slow sync of local folders is now fixed! It's working great and fast! Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
[MENTION=1259062]generic_blast[/MENTION] I understand the problem with the ddns, however, do you often get a new IP? If it doesn't change often you could fill in the IP manually right?

For Flickr, just connect your account and use the File Manager to have a look at the folder structure. Also, on the advanced tab of the Flickr account your can set how the folder structure should be. Let me know whether that makes sense!

[MENTION=5767775]ks14[/MENTION] Awesome, good to hear! Thanks for letting me know!

[MENTION=5001409]bigdave79[/MENTION] That should not happen, we'll look into it and I'll get back to you on it!

[MENTION=6690344]darkshadowz9858[/MENTION] Thanks! Appreciated!

[MENTION=3775014]rhabdo[/MENTION] Good to hear it works now! Thanks for letting me know!

Thanks for all the feedback! And more is of course welcome!

Hi,

I noticed that the email notification stopped to work with the new version. I configured my account using port 465 for secure smtp, which worked perfect before. Now, even the test mail could not be send. I get an Error: null.

Could you check?

...one more: the text field to enter the email text is only one line... this could be a text area, or?

Cheers, big.

PS: still missing my photo sync option to sort files by their creation date... ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
[MENTION=792857]big-big[/MENTION] The test email had a bug, the latest version 2.8.16 should have it fixed :) And you can seperate multiple emails with a ,

For the photo sync option, I'm still thinking about how to implement it since it wouldn't work with the current sync engine which uses database items in a certain way and assumes all files in a folder also end up in a folder on the other side (and not in subfolders). But hopefully I'll find a way..

In the mean time, thanks for the feedback!

[MENTION=5001409]bigdave79[/MENTION] We weren't able to reproduce the bug you found. Did you get the error while syncing or while using the File Manager?

So we just upload 2.8.16 to Play (20% phased implementation) and put it on the first post of this thread. Would be great if you could try the apk from the first post since we updated quite some libraries (including play services and appcompat), so all feedback is welcome!

We also:

- Fixed email bug [MENTION=792857]big-big[/MENTION] thanks!)

- Fixed layout bug (white buttons, etc)

- Fixed some small bugs

Looking forward to hear what you think of the app! Thanks!

[MENTION=706513]Themuzz[/MENTION] I didn't even notice that option. Thanks!

I looked into the throttling issue a little more. There are some settings I can tweak to possibly turn off throttling on my private Seafile (since I'm not exposing my Seafile server to the public internet), but as for the public Seafile, you can't exactly turn off throttling. But I did find some info about how the client is supposed to react when it gets such a response from the server.

When there is a 429 response from Seafile, there is also an HTTP header named "X-Throttle-Wait-Seconds". The client is supposed to wait the number of seconds given by that header and then retry the request. (See https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/seafile/faMIgCDHAk8)

The "X-Throttle-Wait-Seconds" header seems to be non-standard and may be Django'API- and/or Seafile-specific. However, it looks like the 429 status code is standardized for rate limiting, and the client is expected to retry after some delay. (See http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6585#section-4)

Hope that helps! I know the Seafile docs are pretty bad... As a developer, I do appreciate good docs, so I feel for ya. Thanks again for all the good work!

Excellent app, thanks for your effort on this - I have an issue that I'd appreciate your assistance with please. I'm trying to make a copy (one-way sync) of the /data/ partition to NAS hosted SMB folder. I can set up the profile etc all without issue, however, when it comes to executing the sync it fails early (after the file/folder scan) with the following message:

Synchronizing error: Error retrieving file list. Please install/upgrade BusyBox.

I have root and have confirmed that BusyBox is installed on the device. I also have two exclusion filters set for 'File not readable' & 'Folder not readable'. As a further symptom, this issue occasionally causes the internal /sdcard/ partition to be un-mounted (recoverable with a reboot). My device is a 2013 Moto G (XT1032) GPE with 5.1. Any idea what might causing this?
[Android Apps and Games] bigdave79:
It occurs while syncing, not while using the file manager. I have several folders on my phone which I had already copied across to my Box account manually using my computer. When I found this app, I tried using it to sync all the new files from my "DCIM/Camera" folder and it goes through and tries to copy every picture even though they already exist on the cloud folder. This gives an error when trying to copy because the file is already there. Interestingly, it only happens with the "Camera" folder. I am sucessfully able to sync other (smaller) folders which were set up in the same way. If there's any way I can troubleshoot this for you I'd be glad to help.

I'm attaching part of the log file to show you what happens. I should add that I've selected to "Skip file" for any conflicts. I've tried with and without using database for comparison.
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
[MENTION=882905]deftflux[/MENTION] Good find! That wasn't documented (at least we didn't see it :) ), so that will be added for the next release.

[MENTION=5237838]seb706[/MENTION] That's weird, do other root apps work ok? And could you let me know what Android version and device you have? And when using the File Manager can you browse the root directory /

Looking forward to your reply so we can try to fix it!

[MENTION=5001409]bigdave79[/MENTION] Could you maybe long click the problematic sync profile, go to information and clear the database and rerun the sync? Does that work?

Apologies for the problem, we just haven't been able to reproduce. We do know that uploading a file while it exists gives that error for Box, however, the app should use the file list to verify the file doesn't exist yet...

Thanks for the feedback! More is of course welcome!
[Android Apps and Games] bigdave79:
Interestingly, under Information>Database it shows 0 items... Maybe a problem with creating the database??
[Android Apps and Games] seb706:
Many thanks for the reply. All other root apps work as expected, and I'm able to browse the root directory through the app's File Manager. It's a Moto G (XT1032) with GPE 5.1 installed.

Hi Themuzz,

In search of a good application to sync folders from my phone to the cloud i've found Sunchronize Ultimate. What a great app!

But there is on weird thing. After a Sync Profile has run I see an notification that tells me '<Job-name> Did nothing'. But when I go to Overview and click on the last job under Synchronization History, I see that the job did what it has to do. I see copied, deleted and skipped files.

So it looks like the Sync Profile works how it have to work, but the text in the notification is wrong.

I am using Android 5.0.2 on a HTC One M7 (HTC Sense 6.0).

Repeated Replication of Files

Hello there!

Thank you for the amazing app! It does a wonderful job where many others fall short.

The quoted portion above is the only one I could find using some searches on this massive thread. Apologies if this question has been answered. I'm looking to correct this behavior given the app is not useful if this continues to go on. It's otherwise wonderful!

For certain folders, I am getting many replicated copies of files that are becoming enumerated because it seems like the system feels it has to sync a file that has already been synced. I've attached a screenshot of that here.

This doesn't happen with every folder, which is why I don't get it. I've tried tweaking my "Compare" settings a few times, but nothing seems to mitigate this problem. Given it's only happening with a few folders, I am not sure how to isolate what may be causing it. The files are the exact same size and have the same "last modified" date, yet they are still replicating on every sync (nightly).

I assume it's something with the "Compare" settings, though I am not sure. I had all of the default boxes checked originally. Right now, I have "Use Database" and and "Use File Size Check for Comparison" but that doesn't seem to be working either. Again, this is just a subset of files I am noticing this with, not all of them.

Can someone explain why this might be happening and also point to an explanation of the Compare Settings and how those work, if such a thing exists? The "Database" option specifically was something I didn't understand.

Thank you so much for your time and for this wonderful app!
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
[MENTION=5001409]bigdave79[/MENTION] That should not happen no... Do the other sync profiles which sync succesfully have anything in their database? And did you change the advanced settings of the sync profile which has the problem? Let me know, thanks!

[MENTION=5237838]seb706[/MENTION] I assume it is probably only 1 folder which is causing the problem. When you use the File Manager, start at the root and browse to the SDCard can you see the file list? If not, could you send the log when that happens? Thanks!

[MENTION=1769695]vwkever.com[/MENTION] That seems to be a bug.. Did you install an update to a newer version of the app over an existing version? That might have caused some problems. And could you let me know what the profile did which shows the faulty notification? (so did it have skipped, deleted R, deleted L, copied l-r, etc files and if so how many?) Thanks!

[MENTION=6699468]analyst44[/MENTION] That should not happen no, the previous user who had the problem did an install of a new version and it worked again (though we never got to know what the problem was). Could you long click the profile, information and tell me how many items it has in the database? Also, did you change anything on the advanced tab (like conflicts) of the sync profile? And, final question, from where to where to you sync, also to dropbox like the other case?

Thanks for the feedback!

Dropbox/Synchronize Ultimate Replication Issue

Thank *you* for the quick response. I can definitely try to reinstall, but this happened across multiple versions (updates), just as FYI.

To answer your questions!

Items in the Database: 9177

Conflicts: I used the default settings originally, but then tweaked them hoping that perhaps that was the issue (i.e., I was thinking that perhaps Android was tweaking the modified date or something). Current settings are:

First Time Conflict: Skip File

Database Conflict: Overwrite if Smaller

Compare: Use Database and Use file size check for comparison both checked. The other two are unchecked.

Difference in Bytes: 100

Sync Location: One way sync from Samsung S5/Android to Dropbox

Thank you so much for your help! I'll away your reply for trying the re-install option.
[Android Apps and Games] kamiller42:
Themuzz,

I have begun using the application. I love the concept. So many apps supporting file copies do not support merging folders (None I found.) and synchronizing is an answer to the problem.

I had a couple hiccups and currently having a problem. The hiccups were setting the temporary folder and the destination to a folder on the SD card. Nothing prompt me for permissions, and it caused problems trying to sync. I wish the error message in the Log asked me to make sure I have write permission to SD card or to use Internal Permission for destination. I came across your message suggesting to use Internal Permission remote location when the SD card is the destination. I've also set the temp folder back to internal memory.

Everything is working.. I think, but it is really slow. I'm syncing some music files. It take 5 minutes to copy a 3.6MB file on a wireless N network. The source is an SFTP Ubuntu server. This speed issue is with the version just released and the one prior.

Should it be this slow? Is there a setting or configuration change I should make? FYI: Using Note 4 Lollipop w/64GBB Sandisk SD Card.

If I had one feature request, pausing and playing ongoing profiles would be nice. Stop and re-playing could be an alternative using the existing app if it could resume quickly, which for me isn't the case currently.
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
[MENTION=6699468]analyst44[/MENTION] It really seems to be a bug from the dropbox connection, we've put it on our todo again! I'll also PM you in a moment, thanks!

[MENTION=2662555]kamiller42[/MENTION] That shouldn't be the case that is syncs that slowly, apologies for that. We tested it against our internal network and got extreme high speeds. However, if you transfer a lot of small files the speed in the log will be a lot slower than it actually is since in the time it uses to calculate this speed it also takes the preparation time for uploading/downloading. Let me know! Could you maybe try the app with an SMB/WebDAV server and let me know whether you get higher speeds?

Also, for the temporary folders, we're aware of that, we'll add a notification later on :)

Anyway, thanks for the feedback!

Thanks again for all the feedback and review. And more is of course welcome :)

Browsing the root filesystem from the File Manager seems to work as expected. I can navigate to /sdcard/ (from /) and /data/media/0/ without any issues at all. All of the files/folders on the SD Card appear as they should. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] kamiller42:
I tried NFS because that's what I use on my network. I don't have SMB set up. Synchronize sees the NFS shares but nothing appears when I navigate into them. I tried a couple of accounts and an anonymous login. All had the same results. Tried V2 and V3. Same results. Server is using nfs-kernel-server 1:1.2.6-4 and supports 2, 3 and 4. Synchronize's log shows no errors when attempting to browse NFS shares.

What does the error message "Copy file error... Couldn't find ID for folder..." mean?
[Android Apps and Games] bigdave79:
No, all the other profiles show items in their respective databases and sync perfectly (I have similar profiles for my Instagram/Facebook/Whatsapp pictures). Only the profile for camera pictures doesn't have anything. I am not setting it up any differently. I have tried deleting the profile and starting again. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the app. The advanced tab is untouched from the default settings. I tried playing around with the advance setting but still didn't work. All the other profiles show that the database is being created the first time the profile is run, the Camera one doesn't show that. Could it be due to the sheer size of the cloud folder? I have almost 1000 items in that folder.
[Android Apps and Games] vwkever.com:
Hi! I have installed it via the Play-store, and I think there were 1 or 2 updates since then (via Play-store).

I use the profile to make a copy of my complete Whatsapp folder to my Google Drive. Mostly JPG's and soms database-files. It only copies from left to right. The result is:

- Error/total: 0/5226

- Files copied/deleted/skipped: 5/2/5219

- Folders copied/deleted/skipped: 0/0/0

- Size copied/deleted/skipped/error/total: 22.24MB/0.0/1.13GB/0.0/1.15GB

Hope this helps.

suggestions

Hi, thanks for creating the app. I am trying to use the free ver. and see how it feel when comparing to the current one (Foldersync)..

- perhaps you may translate the app into Chinese?!

- 3 notifications are running in the background, just feel a little bit redundant perhaps

- it is the type of app that you cannot move to SD card? (i am still using a Samsung N7000 with limited memory though..!)

- haven't tried photos to flickr yet... (as I have limited profile to create with this free ver), maybe later?!

keep up the good work
[Android Apps and Games] big-big:
Hi again,

I've checked again. After removing the old email notifications and recreating new ones, the notification works again.

A small thing: the text:

...

start: %sync_started_time%

stopped: %sync_stopped_time%

took: %sync_running_time%

...

Delivers this output:

...

start: 2015-05-24 10:54:32

stopped: 1970-01-01 01:00:00

took: 0 days and 00:00:00

...

Something wrong with the substitution?

Cheers, big.

Scheduled synchronization does not run

Hi,

at first I would like to mention that I was quite impressed how versatile is this application. It seems to be tailor made for people who like tinkering with many options to make something work exactly as they need - like me.

However, I have two basic problems, and what is strange, I am probably one of few, judging by so many praises heard on this forum.

My scheduled profiles never run.

I just can't understand what I do wrong. While the app is not running as a service, I can positively confirm that the app was running in the time when it was supposed doing synchronization.

When I run a profile manually, it keeps wifi lock even after synchronization had ended.

That causes considerable battery drain.

What is even stranger, I experience this behavior on two different devices: Samsung Galaxy S IV (GT-I9505, Wanam ROM rooted) and Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 (SM-T805, stock). That could point to me as a source of problem. :o I would need help to move forward because I seem got stucked.

I have attached my settings exported from the app. Maybe someone could have a look a see where is the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
[MENTION=5237838]seb706[/MENTION] Good to hear! So does the syncing also work now? If not it probably hangs on 1 folder/files right?

[MENTION=2662555]kamiller42[/MENTION] Ah, from all the protocols our NFS implementation is still quite basic... sorry about that, it's the best we can do at this moment but we're working on improving it. We'll add a warning for the next release.

And for the ID error, with what protocol did you get that error? It means that when copying/deleting/checking a file it was not possible to get the unique identifier of that files which some clouds use. If you could give a case on when that happens we can check it out, thanks!

@big-big Interesting that readding the notifications did work. Do they work if you create a new profile and they get added automatically? Anyway, the bug you mention with regard to start/stop/run time will be fixed in the next release!

@bigdave79 Basically, when a folder is handled it will be added to the database. If anything goes wrong in between (cancell, etc) the files of the folder the app is working on will not be added to the database. I think it might be because the sync gives all those error so that you cancel it right? Let me know and apologies for all these problems.

[MENTION=1769695]vwkever.com[/MENTION] Ok, thanks, did in the mean time the faulty notification show again?

[MENTION=5749527]tox1[/MENTION] Thanks for the suggestions! We'll look into translating, we'll also look into the notifications, it should be possible to move to the sd (if not let me know what you tried exactly) and flickr should work fine :)

[MENTION=6046138]rakprorok@gmail.com[/MENTION] Thanks for the feedback! Let's see if we can fix the bugs you mention :)

1. That should not happen. What schedule do you exactly set? And after you have set the schedule and close the app did you use the exit button? Because the service icon should still be visible which means the service is still running to start/stop the schedule.

2. For the wifi lock, how did you test the wifi lock is still there? Let me know!

Thanks again for all the feedback! And if you gave feedback and want an unlock code just PM me :) And a review on Play/Amazon would be really appreciated, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] bigdave79:
No, I am not cancelling anything. I let it run completely through. I assume the database is created before the first sync, correct? It just doesn't want to create the database for that directory. It's only that specific directory. I tried moving the directory (where my pictures are) into another folder which I know syncs correctly and a database is created during the first sync but the database doesn't include the sub-directory where the photos are. It's so weird. Do you think it's because there are over 1200 items in there?
