Any w ay to sync files in storage card?

DB505 · 12-26-05, 10:29 AM

I have an X30 low and want to keep as few files as possible in system memory. However, I don't see any way to get ActiveSync to automatically sync docs that are on my storage card, ie, i have to keep them synched manually -- even if I put them in \My Documents on my sd card. Anyone know of a solution?

Take a look at MightySync, an inexpensive (about $6) program that lets you set up sync's between any location on your PPC and your PC. I love it!

Mightysync link and also a freebie is Mobsync. I've worked a bit w/mightysync. I couldn't get mobsync to work on my computer.

Thanks to both of you. I downloaded the trial of MightySync and am giving it a try. As some of the commentators wrote at Handango, the interface is rather confusing, but after a while it, it after messing with it I see that it does seem to do what I want. Thanks again.

I tried MobSync the other day and it worked fine.

I must have too much work stuff on my computer b/c it won't even pop up. It just gives me an oddly written error message.

To db505: I agree that mightysync has a very odd and un-intuitive interface. I got individual files to sync, but I couldn't get folders to sync.

Try Microsoft's Sync Powertoy...it's free and does the job to sync from storage card to desk top. Here is the link....

Boltar, can you give a 1 or 2 sentence description of how it works? Thanks!

Sync toy will synchronize folders/files on your desktop. Though not working through Active Sync, you can sync the memory card files from your card reader onto your PC. One just creates folder pairs and then synchronize.

For example, choose the SD/CF card and a folder on your PC to establish a sync pair.

Thanks Boltar.

It appears that the synctoy won't be widely accepted by the ppc community if it requires the use of a card reader. Any thoughts?

I agree w/you Akretsch. The other day I downloaded it and tried to use it and couldn't figure it out. Now that boltar describes it I can see why.

Never try it but i read somewhere here that if you delete a file in the sd card called: "ignore_my_documents" system will sync to sd my documents i guess. Its a hidden file (advance explorer 1.2.0 ppc2003 is the free software i used to find it) Try it At your own risk. Hope it helps.

Coolestson see this thread re "ignore my docs". You're close. The ignore my docs thing is a slightly different subject, but we appreciate your input.

MobSync doesn't seem to install in the typical sense. When I click on the .exe file, it just places an icon in my sys tray. I just click on the icon to run the program. However, the icon disappears with each reboot so I just click on the .exe each time I want to use the program.
