Connecting your cloud storage

 Launch FolderSync. You will need to allow the app access to your storage so it can properly synchronize your files.


Tap Accounts.

Tap the + button in the lower right corner of the screen, and select your cloud storage provider.

Name the account whatever you’d like — I just name mine Google Drive since that’s the service I use — and tap the Authenticate Account button.

Your default web browser will launch, and you’ll be asked to sign into the cloud service you selected.

After you authenticate the account, tap Save in the lower right corner.

Two-way sync

Image
  Two-way sync copies files in both directions, overwriting older files if duplicate files are found. It will also detect cases where modifications have happened on both local and cloud storage. If this happens, the latest modified file will be used or the file will be skipped, according to what you specify in for the folderpair. Instant sync This feature is experimental and can be enabled for a folderpair that syncs local files. When enabled, local file changes will be detected in the device folder, and a immediate partial sync will be attempted. It is recommended that a scheduled sync is still configured, as some change events are not detected properly - fx. on some custom ROMs etc. Newer version of Android may not support this feature on external SD cards. Sync of deletions If the “Sync deletions” option is enabled deletions will also be synced for all types of sync. FolderSync has an internal database of synced files. If a previously synced file is deleted at either end, the de...

Sync options - Notifications

  Show notification when syncing:  Show persistent notification while syncing folderpair. Show notification on sync success:  Show dismiss-able notification on sync success . Show notification when changes occur:  Show dismiss-able notification if transfers/deletions happened. Show notification on sync error:  Show dismiss-able notification if syncs fail for any reason. Sync filters You can add filters where your can configure to include or exclude files and folders based on file type, name, size, file age and modification date. Regular expression filtering is also supported if that is something you are into. Sync filters are specific to the folderpair for which you configure them. Some notes: All filters case-insensitive. File extension filters can be for example “jpg” or “doc”. Don’t include leading period. If filter value for the folder filters “contains”, “equals”, “startsWith” and “endsWith” contains a forward slash “/” then the filter is applied to the dev...
