Copying files

How do you copy files from your desktop system into your PDA? I've got active sync working, but this just seems to sync outlook. I want the ability to just transfer data from one system to the other, how is this done?

Cheers
Chris

Chris, While the PDA is attached to the sync cable or sync cradle you can "explore, copy, paste,etc" between the PDA and Desktop using the Desktops Windows Explorer File Manager. The PDA will show up under the "Computer" list as "Mobile Device". The PDA RAM and Storage Cards are accessible just like any other storage media.

If you are transferring large files, Activesync will be painfully slow. You might want to consider using a card reader if tranferring to your SD or CF.

ActiveSync can also automatically sync files for you so you don't have to manually copy them. If you clcik the options button in ActiveSync, and check the "Files" box, a folder shortcut will be created on your desktop PC which is synced with the My Documents folder on your PPC.

Whatever you place in this folder on your desktop will automatically be synced with your PPC, and vice-versa.
