Android / Linux / Unix Targets
may need some workaround to get synchronized.Issue
This problem does NOT exists with Windows-shares! (Windows <> Windows).Even if the partition on the target is FAT/FAT32/FATx formated, synchronisation will MOSTLY not work in the way expected, as long as the operating system is not Windows. You may notice, that every time you sync, all items are copied / converted, even if they exist on the target. This happens because FoobarSync deals with the Windows file attribute A (archiv), which is NOT known to Linux/Unix/Android! Because FoobarSync does not run on any other OS than Windows, you will force this problem only when synchronizing indirectly to the target via a Network-Share (Samba) or when the target is connectet via USB (example: Android Phone plugged into Windows PC via USB-Cable. <<-- Can anyone test that and give me a feedback please???) I have not found any samaba app for my android cell phone, which is able to handle.
Solutions
- First synchonize to a folder on your Windows machine, afterwards use Windows built-in synchronzation (or any 3rd-Party-Tool).
- Try other ways to access the target (connectet via USB if possible (example: Android Phone plugged into Windows PC via USB-Cable. Can anyone test that and give me a feedback please???)
- If media is removable, use a SD-Card reader or similar device and connect the storage to your Windows-PC
