I totally agree on SCrid2000. I have the same issue while adding a sync profile.

Besides, I am confused now about start/stop & conditions. What's the exact behaviour of these? I am trying to understand, but for it's not completely clear to me.

And maybe I am stupid, but why are you using sessions within the file manager? When I look at Solid Explorer for example, I just go into the file explorer. Now I have to create a session? I don't see any use for it? Maybe having a toolbar would be easier instead of using the menu all the time?
[Android Apps and Games] mis2417:
you mean syncing external sd card to somewhere fails?

it's normal for me, fails everytime, but resyncing right after that is successful.

[Android Apps and Games] mis2417:
3.0.14 fixed sd card problems for me.

after sync however, when I check the log and go "back" a few times to exit the app it seems to go back to main screen a few times. odd.

I'm a little worried about scheduling also since I've set 'interval' syncing to Google Drive (weekly) and nothing happened after a week. my guess is that marshmallow's sleep settings are messing with that, since some apps stopped working too, like alarm clock https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.macropinch.axe
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
As some of you have noticed an update has been released a couple of days ago which fixes the annoying one profile bug :D

[MENTION=4097987]pitastrudl[/MENTION] The export function only exports the accounts and sync profiles, not the actually DB. We'll add a new option to 'fake' sync once to rebuild the DB on, for example, a new device

@boocko We're looking into the download from URL however it can only work on one way sync. Could you use the PHP script option for now?

[MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION] [MENTION=6987606]mis2417[/MENTION] I can't reproduce the sync to sdcard bug, what android version are you using? If Android 6.0+ did you enable the write to sdcard permission?

[MENTION=4132835]SCrid2000[/MENTION] [MENTION=7220218]ygmail[/MENTION] What kind of task are you talking about? A new sync start/stop rule? Regarding the uploading through temp directory, we're looking as adding it for Android 6.0+.
[MENTION=7220218]ygmail[/MENTION] The conditions are checked before a sync is started, so a sync can be disable when not connected to a specific wifi network. And for the Session Manager, we'll look into making that a bit different, however, you can just save a session and come back later. Or save a work session, project x session and home session so you can have the right windows (and clouds) open immediately.

[MENTION=6987606]mis2417[/MENTION] Regarding the schedule, sometimes Android stops that unfortunately. However the last version has a new option called Alarm Schedule which should always work, let me know if you tried it.

More feedback/ideas are of course welcome. And a review on Play/Amazon will be greatly appreciated :D
[Android Apps and Games] enkidu70:
Hi [MENTION=706513]Themuzz[/MENTION],

I am new to SynU. (latest premium version from Play Store) and I am having a couple of problems! I use CM13 (root) on my OnePlus One.

Left folder: /storage/emulated/0/Pictures (root-mode; with a lot of subdirs and images - around 2GB)

Right folder: <<my dropbox>>/Mobile/OPO/Pictures (please note mixed case!)

Both folders have already been synced by my previous app dropsync I used since a long time. This worked fine but I need a bit more, so I want to switch to SyncU.

1. Though my folders have been in sync (timestamps and file sizes identical!), SyncU copied all files to my dropbox again, adding "... (1)..."! Very annoying. I found no option to prevent this behaviour.

2. Ok, I deleted all content from my device and thought let's sync all files from dropbox to my device again, maybe then all is in sync. But this also does not work.

SyncU ALWAYS creates a folder structure like /storage/emulated/0/Pictures/mobile/opo/pictures/<<all subfolders present in dropbox>>!?!?!?!?!? (Also pathname is generated in lower case...)

This is not what I want! I want that my subfolders of <<my dropbox>>/Mobile/OPO/Pictures/<<subfolders>> are synced to /storage/emulated/0/Pictures/<<subfolders>>.

(Camel case is essential for me because I use dropbox on Linux!)

Can you please help me where I may doing things wrong!? (I can send you log, config ecc by email, if you need.)

Tnx in advance,

Enkidu
[Android Apps and Games] mis2417:
tried and I can say two things.

1. this "alarm schedule" really does work. with weekly sync I really don't mind 15 minutes difference, and I appreciate battery efficiency. the option itself is kinda hidden and there is no warning that other schedules won't work on marshmallow, but I don't mind.

2. sync was from external sdcard to Google Drive and everything went smoothly (modified were sent, so were new files)

memory efficiency is the only thing left (for me), I'll check on that later.

thanks so much

Settings -> Export -> Email, how?

Hello,

I'm in the process of switching from FolderSync (due to the lack of support and bug fixing) so I've reinstalled S.U. that I had evaluated somehow in the past (I had encountered many issues on syncs involving many files and folders, I hope many have been fixed,)

So far, I've been unable to make a successful export of app settings to external storage

Here's the steps I'm using:

Settings -> Export -> Email -> select storage provider

Whichever provider I choose it fails. For example, Gmail gives "permission denied for the attachment":
[Android Apps and Games] boocko:
Yes, for the moment, I wget+cron sync things to my server and then use your PHP script to get files to the phone. Of course, it's ment as a one way sync (download only). To me, this is useful for weekly sync of files on fixed URLs (PDF bus and train timetables, offline maps).
[Android Apps and Games] ygmail:
The issue about rewritten tasks seems to be fixed with the latest update from the Play store.

I really get confused about the difference in start/stop & conditions. What I want? I want to start a sync when I connect my phone to my charger and he is connected to WIFI. So, this is what I did:

1) I added a start/stop (When Power connected -> start sync)

2) I added a start/stop (When Power disconnected -> stop sync)

3) I added a condition (Allow running when WIFI connected)

4) I added a condition (Disallow running when WIFI disconnected + force stop if....)

But what it seems to do is: when my phone connectects to WIFI he starts syncing.... Is there something I don't get?
[Android Apps and Games] yoda947:
I am a new user, switched over from FolderSync that does not see further improvements. Mainly I use the app for backupin up my

phone's data to my NAS (Synology) when I am at home. Some sync profiles work two way, most of them one way.

The schedule feature did not work reliable for me; I solved this by using Tasker and running from Tasker. On the other hand

I really would prefer having the schedule configured directly in the app. That's why I appreciate the new alaram

schedule start/stop option.

But it lacks comfort compared to Tasker because it does not let me configure it in detail. It just can start for full hour, but I

need more complex configurations starting sync by minute. Is it possible to improve the new feature and have us choose

the start time by minute?

Thanks

Controll SynU via Tasker

Hi guys, I need some help with controlling SyncU via Tasker. What I want to is this: At a specific time start say 4 profiles one after the other and when the last one is done, terminate the SyncU service. Could you please give me some guidance. Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] yoda947:
Short guide:

1. run Tasker

2 .create a new profile, type: Time. Choose From and To-Time. Set to the same value to run at a specific time.

3. create a new task.

4. Add a new action, category "Plugin", plugin type "Synchronize Ultimate".

5. the configuration dialog apperas, click in the pencil at the right.

6. now choose the action für Synchronize Ultimate, e.g. "start Service", and confirm with the ok check mark

7. repeat steps 4. to 6. , but choose "Start sync" now. If you do so, you can additionally choose the profile(s)

that you want Synchronize Ultimate to run (click on button "SELECT").

8. repeat step 4. to 6., but choose "Stop service" now.

9. save the task and test it.

I did not test the "Stop service" condition and I am not sure if Tasker waits until Synchronize Ultimate ends.

If not, just add another complete new profile in Tasker (step 2) at a later time (say 15 minutes or so) and add

only the action "Stop service" from the Synchronize Ultimate plugin.
[Android Apps and Games] ripko:
That's exactly what I tried but unfortunately it does not work that way. The tasks seem to start almost simultaniously and so the last task stops the service while some of the other tasks are still running. There must be another way. Something that checks the status of the running tasks before the final task is allowed to run.
[Android Apps and Games] yoda947:
Did you test this way? Should be the easiest one. Each other procedure would block something because it would

run synchronously. My proposal: test the time for the largest sync profile. then make an new profile in Tasker

(not in Synchronize Ultimate!), and stop the service by Synchronize Ultimate plugin in Tasker.

e.g. the largest sync profile needs about 30 minutes, starting at 08:00. Then add a new

Tasker profile at 08:35, running Synchronize Ultimate plugin and stopping the service.
[Android Apps and Games] ripko:
[MENTION=2924453]joda9[/MENTION]47

I just tried another approach. With Tasker's plugin I first start the servive and then start all sync. That seems to run all SyncU profiles in the order they appear in SyncU's profile list. In the the last profile's advanced options I checked 'Stop service after sync stops'. That seems to do the trick. Not sure yet if this is a reliable solution but I'll keep an eye on it. Thank you very much for your help.
[Android Apps and Games] roothorick:
Found this a bit curious. Haven't dug too deeply but here it is.

The official ownCloud desktop client, once per minute, sends a PROPFIND request to the server. Through whatever mechanism, if nothing has changed since the last sync, it is able to tell that from the result of this one single request.

SynU on the other hand iterates through every folder indiscriminately, every time.

Saving those cycles is a lot more important on a phone, probably should find out what info the desktop app is getting that allows it to make that shortcut :)

Hi,

Was testing your latest version 3.0.14, because it has more possibilities than FolderSync, but I was surprised how slow your tool works. I'm trying to copy +- 2 GB of data from my external SD card to another place on my external SD card. FolderSync compares everything (2068 files) in 15 to 20 seconds, and S.U. takes 1u30min on it.

It also seems to re-do certain files for some reason, that are not changed according to me.

I checked the log file, and it says processing, processing, processing, ... so it seems to work, but really, really slow.

Strange duplication

After tedious reinstaling and or recreating profiles from scratch I couldn't get rid of another strange bug/behavior.

Two ways synchronize including deletions.

Left side Lenovo P70 (4.4.4) Internal root

/storage/sdcard0/Audio/Recorder/PhoneRecorder/

Right side dropbox

/similenovop70/sdcard0/Audio/Recorder/PhoneRecorder/

Before first run Left side contains one file, Right side is empty.

After first run File gets synched to Right side - everything like expected.

Left side contains:

/storage/sdcard0/Audio/Recorder/PhoneRecorder/file.3gpp

Right side contains:

/similenovop70/sdcard0/Audio/Recorder/PhoneRecorder/file.3gpp

But after second run where nothing should happen at all, it ends like this:

Left side contains:

/storage/sdcard0/Audio/Recorder/PhoneRecorder/file.3gpp

/storage/sdcard0/Audio/Recorder/PhoneRecorder/similenovop70/sdcard0/audio/recorder/PhoneRecorder/file.3gpp

Right side contains:

/similenovop70/sdcard0/Audio/Recorder/PhoneRecorder/file.3gpp

/similenovop70/sdcard0/Audio/Recorder/PhoneRecorder/file (1).3gpp

It seems like it somehow recreated the folders of dropbox path and inserted them into the left side where it duplicated the file. And on right side as well.

Even more strange is what happens after third run:

Left side contains:

/storage/sdcard0/Audio/Recorder/PhoneRecorder/file.3gpp

/storage/sdcard0/Audio/Recorder/PhoneRecorder/similenovop70/sdcard0/audio/recorder/PhoneRecorder/

Right side contains:

/similenovop70/sdcard0/Audio/Recorder/PhoneRecorder/file.3gpp

/similenovop70/sdcard0/Audio/Recorder/PhoneRecorder/file (1).3gpp

/similenovop70/sdcard0/Audio/Recorder/PhoneRecorder/file (2).3gpp

/similenovop70/sdcard0/Audio/Recorder/PhoneRecorder/similenovop70/sdcard0/audio/recorder/PhoneRecorder/

File in recreated path on left side gets deleted and another duplicate and empty folder path created on right.

I also noticed there is difference in folder audio which gets created. It is lowercase but the actual folder is uppercase, maybe the issue lies in relation to this, idk.

Also when I created 3-4 subdirectories in folders I synch in other profiles and put files in them, that profiles seems to behave similarly - maybe there is issue with long filepath to be synched properly?

Problems from my previous post are still present as well as this one. The most annoying is this and the fact only two profiles run on Alarm Schedule each hour even all are set that way. I would be glad to get some help from this, and maybe get some reply as you have read the PM I sent you with logs. I would also appreciate the full unlock code so I can test this without disturbance if it is possible. Thank you.

Indispensable Synchronization Application

Hi there,

This is a really useful application and it works most of the time. Yes, there are some idiosyncrasies, but I put these down to Android more than the application. This app has made working and living with my gadgets that much more easy and flexible now - it's second nature to expect to pick one of them up and just find the files for an app in place without intervention. Great.

Please keep maintaining and supporting this app. It is brilliant. Let us know where we can donate to sustain efforts!

Thanks for this application and the service provided!

Errors writing to SD card

Hi, I'm trying to synchronize some files from SFTP to an SD card on a phone.

When using the sync feature there is no way I can make it work. It just say "ENOENT" for every file. Other times I get an error about the SD being read-only. Because of this I tried just with the file manager and got it to work using root. Even using root and the file manager, sometimes copying fails saying the memory is read-only, if I eject the memory and re-mount it, it seems to work again though. But I could never get the sync to work properly, even when I change the sync job to use the root filesystem access.

I noticed using GhostCommander that I also had similar problems when using the filesystem, but if I browse files using the "Storage Access Framework" interface then it works fine as a regular user. Trying other file managers I also had different results trying to access the SD card.

I'm using Android 6. Did anyone had this kind of problems? Do you have any advice on how to fix them?
