Anyone knows how to automatically synchronise files between phone and pc?

I want to take important documents with me. But now I have to caopy them manually all the time.
 
when you?re posting a thread it?s good to mention which phone model you have in order to get help.

And yes, it?s possible to do what your asking for...BUT, it depends on what phone model you have.

First you need to create a .bat file for launching the backup. You could maybe use other ways but this way I think is the most simple one:

Here an example of a backup script:

@echo off
:: variables
set drive=E:\Backup

echo ### Backing up My Documents...
%backupcmd% "%USERPROFILE%\My Documents" "%drive%\My Documents"

echo Backup Complete!
@pause

If you have an S60 device which support Mass Storage you can quite easily create a folder on your PC desktop which contains a copy of all files you want to have with you.

After that, connect your phone and select USB mass storage mode, and then double click on the .bat file in order to copy all content from the My Documents folder to the memory card in the phone.

Simple huh?!

Sorry for not mentioning my Phone

I've a nokia E50. The USB Mass Storage Mode is not available. I tried SyncbackSE but it doesn't support the way my nokia is displayed in the Explorer. For example it's not E:\Nokia\SDCARD\Documents but something like ::783663899:: etc...

What I would really like is just using a sync program in background wich copies updated documents to a selected folder on my Phone using Bluetooth.

I think this would be a great addition to the PCSuite for buisiness Phones like the E-Series.
 
When you plug in your E50 to your PC via the data cable, it doesn't ask you what kind of connection you'd like to make? Usually, it's Mass Storage, PC Suite, Pictbridge and something else.
 
You may want to try Microsoft's SyncToy v1.4. It is a free download. Then as JonnyBruha said, when you plug your e50 and asks how you want to connect, select Mass Storage and windows should see it as a normal removable drive. Sync Toy should find the folder and sync the files.
 
does anyone know of a util that will sync files over the air? other than blackberry/exchange? ideally, something that would sync files with an ftp server...
 
no but i believe you could setup orb on your desktop and pic k what files to share and then access them on your mobile. haven't tried with actual files, but it works for media files.
