======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 **{{color text="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???)" c="red"}}** 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 **{{color text="(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???)" c="red"}}**
- If media is removable, use a SD-Card reader or similar device and connect the storage to your Windows-PC
