SyncFolder
Settings
Open the menu (â‹®) on the Home page and tap Settings. You can also reach this page with the Settings button on the Mobile Sync Server page.
Task Execution
Pauses the automatic background sync for all tasks at once. Tasks with Automatic background updates enabled then no longer run every 15 minutes, until you turn this setting off again. You can still run tasks by hand. See Automatic background sync.
Mobile Sync Server
The user name and password that SyncFolder on Windows must use to connect to the Mobile Sync Server. The current user name is shown next to the setting.
The folders on this device that the Mobile Sync Server makes available. The number next to the setting is the number of assigned folders.
Help the Windows SyncFolder app to find this device via the cloud. Some networks prevent devices from finding each other. With this setting on, SyncFolder uses a secure internet service only to exchange address information between your device and your PC. Your files never go through this service.
If you turn this off, the PC can only find your device on the local network. You may have to scan the QR code again when the network address of a device changes.
Opens the Mobile Sync Server page of this guide.
App Repository
The repository contains your app configuration: all tasks with their locations, filters and options.
Saves the configuration in a file named SyncFolder_Backup_<date>_<time>.json. Android's share sheet opens so you can choose where to save or send the file, for example to Google Drive or by e-mail.
The backup file contains the account details of your NAS locations, including the password. Store it in a safe place and don't share it with others.
Loads a configuration from a backup file you exported earlier. Use this after you reinstall the app or when you move to a new device. The imported configuration replaces the current one completely.
Some information is stored securely on the device itself and isn't part of the backup: the pairing with your PC, your OneDrive sign-in and the Mobile Sync Server user profile. After an import on another device, you may have to scan the QR code of your PC again, link your OneDrive account again and set up the user profile again.
Removes all tasks and settings, including stored passwords and pairings, and returns the app to its initial state. The app asks for confirmation first.
This can't be undone. Export the repository first if you might need your configuration later. Your files themselves are not deleted.
