Creating folderPair

Android only

From the dashboard or folderPair screen you can create a folderPair. A folderPair is a definition of a sync that you want FolderSync to perform. It defines a sync between a local folder on your device and a remote folder for your chosen provider type. A sync can sync files to remote cloud storage, to your local storage or both ways.

Create a new folderPair by pressing Create folderPair on folderPair on dashboard screen and select an account to use. An SD CARD account is a built-in account type to use to sync between folders on the device only.

For this example we will use the SD Account and the Google Drive account we added earlier.

Give the folderPair a name, in our example we named it "Sync my files". Select sync direction of files, default is two-way sync. Left account is always the local device for V1 folderPairs, the right account can be changed by tapping the button - in our case the account we created is already pre-selected.

Now tap [Select folder] for both left and right account - this will allow you to select which two folders you want to sync with each other. You can browse the files for both left and right account respectively. When you have browsed to the desired folder tap [Select].

After having entered a name and selecting folders the screen should look something like the one below.

Now press save. You will be shown the folderPair screen for the folderPair just created.

Edit configuration

1. Edit the name again if you wish, you click the name at the top to start editing.
2. Change sync type - one-way (to remote provider or device) or two-way sync.
3. Select the remote and local folder for the folderPair - when pressed a selection screen comes up where you can browse to the desired folder.
4. Now configure additional settings if needed. See other sections for further details.
