![]() Don’t include the double-quotes when entering format in the app. “yyyy-MM-dd HH.mm.ss ‘Pictures’” and it will result in a backup folder named something like “ 12.05.22 Pictures”. You can add your custom string in single quotes, eg. See this link for details on how to use a custom naming pattern. This can thus only be used with one-way sync type. Each sync will backup all files to a new subfolder in the target folder named accordingly to the naming-pattern configured. Copy files to time-stamped folder: With the corresponding naming pattern field this can be used to use FolderSync for backing up files. ![]() For example if you sync pictures from your device to a cloud folder, and want to be able to keep them on device and delete them in the cloud folder without them being re-synced later by FolderSync from the device. Enable this option if you want to be able to delete files in target folder without these files being synced from source again. Only resync source files if modified: Only works with one-way sync.After syncing of files, the source files are deleted. Move files to target folder: For one-way sync only.To work the folderPair must also be configured to sync on a schedule. Can not be used with “Copy files to time-stamped folder” option or one-way sync to SD card. Only detects changes on local device and may not work with external SD card on newer versions of Android. Instant sync: Select this for instant sync on change.Mark as stale if not synced in: Option to mark folderPair with yellow background in folderPair list if time since last sync is more than the hours specified.If this option is not enabled the sync will throw an error if the local device sync folder is not found, which is the safer option, so you don’t potentially risk deleting all cloud files if you have enabled deletions for folderPair and you accidentally rename the device folder etc. Create local sync folder if missing: If you want the local device folder selected for folderPair to be created if it is missing.Some providers adds bytes to certain files when uploaded, so this setting can help in those cases. Disable file-size check: Check this if transferred files should not be validated against source by comparing file-size.This may break the functionality of some cloud providers (proper revisions etc.). It offers more security as the original file is kept until the updated file has been uploaded (so if upload fails, the original file will not be gone/corrupted). Temp-file scheme means files are transferred using temporary name, and upon completion of transfer is renamed to the final filename. Use temp-file scheme: Check this setting, if you want to use temp-file scheme.Does not have any effect in regards to remote files for cloud providers/protocols where MD5 checksum is not supplied. May decrease sync speed and use extra battery, but can also result in less download and upload traffic. Use MD5 checksums: Check this setting if MD5 checksum should be calculated for device files.Re-scan media library: Check this if media library should be updated for deleted or added media files.Retry sync if failed: Enable to automatically retry a scheduled sync at 30 min delay from time of failed sync.Exclude from force sync: Select if you want to exclude this folderPair from syncing when pressing button on Sync Status screen.Default is to skip file, which will result in sync warnings. A conflicting modification is one where both the source and target file has been changed since last recorded sync. If conflicting modifications: Choose what to do if a conflicting modification is detected.Some people may only want a file to transfer once and then not be updated on changes, in that case set this to never. Default setting is to overwrite the old file, so the newest file is used, which would the setting for most to use if running a normal sync. Overwrite old files: Choose what to do if a file already exist at target.Sync deletions: Check this if deletions are to be synced.Sync hidden files: Check this if hidden files are to be synced.Sync sub-folders: Check this if sub-folders are to be synced.Local folder: The local folder on the device to sync to/from.Can be selected after an account has been chosen. Remote folder: The remote folder to sync to/from.Two-way: Files will both be uploaded to remote server and downloaded to device folder.Files will not be uploaded to remote folder. To local folder: Files will be downloaded to device folder only.Files will not be downloaded to device folder. To remote folder: Files will be uploaded to remote cloud/server folder only.Here the various folderPair sync options are explained.
