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 device path of the folder else only the folder name.
• Regex filters are only applied to filename or foldername, not the full path. See more info for regex.
• All folders in the tree will be matched against folder filters, so if a folder matches an include filter the files in the folder will be synced, but its subfolders are not synced unless they also matches an include filter.

Examples

Include or exclude a file abc.txt
Use filter of type “File name equals” with value “abc.txt”.

Include or exclude all files of type avi
Use filter of type “File extension” with value “avi”.

Include or exclude a specific folder xyz and all its sub folders
Use filter of type “Folder name starts with” with value “/mnt/sdcard/rootfolder/xyz”.

Include a specific folder xyz and all files in this folder, but not its subfolders
Use filter of type “Folder name equals” with value “/mnt/sdcard/rootfolder/xyz”.

Include any folder named xyz and all files in those folders, but not their subfolders
Use filter of type “Folder name equals” with value “xyz”.

Syncing

Syncing occurs according to the schedule you have defined for each folderpair. If a schedule is not defined the folderpair will only be synced if you manually initiate it or if initiated by apps like Tasker. If no network connection is set to be allowed for a folderpair it will never sync, not even if you manually initiate it. This is to ensure you are not accidentally charged for expensive network traffic. Files are compared using their last modification date and optionally using MD5 hashes (for local files and remote providers that offers this information).
