Connecting to Cell Phone

SyncBackFree is the freeware version of SyncBack. It is *not* an evaluation version of SyncBackPro/SE.

Connecting to Cell Phone

Post by asallwey »

I've been using this program for a year or 2, love it! I thought I would use it to update the pictures on my cell phone. My system is to copy all the pics to my pc, delete, edit, or organize them, then move some back to the phone.

Is there any way for Synback to see the usb connection of the phone? I can reach other computers on my home network, but it just doesn't see the phone.

Am I out of luck?

Yeah, you are pretty much out of luck using syncbackfree only. With syncbackse or syncbackpro you can use syncback touch to connect to your phone on a usb.
You can however use syncback free to do the compare and sync but not directly to your phone. Just use windows file manager and copy your phone pictures to a folder on your computer and do the edit and use syncbackfree to sync the folder, then copy or move the folder contents back to your phone using windows file manager.

Ok, thanks!

I've been doing it using your suggested method. I just thought I might have missed something in the help file. So I will carry on as I've been doing.
