This is one thing we NEED to do.

Closed Feature: Browse Button [546]

It really needs a browse button, I will try and do it, but Chris Sole can probably do it faster

Closed Issue: Galaxy Nexus Support [607]

The Galaxy Nexus running with MTP will not be recognized by Synx. The same result is returned when using PTP.

What the media has said:

If you're not looking for a full-blown app to help you manage all of the files and data on your Android phone but could use a utility to keep your photos, videos, and music in sync between your phone and your desktop, Synx is for you. -http://lifehacker.com/5839641/synx-keeps-your-android-phone-in-sync-with-folders-on-your-desktop

Most Android users, including myself, have to first connect Android to the computer and then manually move files to the local folders and vice versa. There is no way to sync photos, videos, movies, and pictures between the your computer and your Android phone... Synx is an open source application to sync Music, Videos, Movies, and Pictures between your Andriod phone and user-defined local folders. The benefit is that when the change is made on either side, it is reflected on both ends. All that is required to set up Synx is to specify the path of the Andriod device drive, followed by local directories on your PC. -http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/sync-android-videos-pictures-music-folders-with-local-folders-synx/

It doesn't get any simpler and easier than this. -http://www.thelifedigital.com/sync-your-android-device-with-your-windows-computer-the-easiest-way/
That’s it! How simple is that? Now you can put whatever you want on your Android device and vice versa with just a few clicks. Enjoy it! - http://www.softmazing.com/synchronize-your-android-device-the-easy-way-with-synx/

Synx for Linux

Written for Synx for Linux 0.3 Beta
This documentation is not complete and is under active development

We have wanted to make Synx for Linux/GNU for quite a while and we have finally done it but not in the way you would expect. Synx for Linux going forward is going to be our main development effort as Windows and Mac already have very good support for Android now. Synx for Linux is designed for devices that use MTP (currently most Linux Distributions will not work with any Android MTP devices) as that is where the real need is. Synx for Linux is a shell script (BASH) but has a GUI to make things easier.

Installation

Download Synx for Linux from here
Turn on USB debugging (Settings > Developer options > USB debugging)
1. If you can't find the Developer options menu go to Settings > About Phone (or about tablet) and tap "Build number" 7 times
Extract Synxv03.tar.gz
Double click on synx.sh in the directory you extracted to and if prompted click Run.

Installation on 64-Bit Fedora

Same as above but before you download you will want to run these commands in the terminal:

sudo yum install libstdc++.i686
sudo yum install ncurses-libs.i686
sudo yum install zlib.i686

Dependencies

Zenity (comes pre-installed with almost every Linux distribution)
ADB (included in install)

FAQ

Q) My device is not recognised
- A) Add a bug report in the Issue Tracker and we will get to you shortly
Q) My device does not sync
- A) Add a bug report in the Issue Tracker and try running ./adb devices in the folder you extracted to and see if any serial numbers show up.
Q) When I double click on synx.sh it opens in a text editor and I see lot's of code
- A) You have to make synx.sh executable, this can be done on most desktop environments via Right Click > Properties > Permissions > Allow executing file as a program. You can also do the same by opening up the folder you installed into in the terminal and running "chmod +x synx.sh"

Confirmed Support

Synx for Linux has been tested on the following devices:

Galaxy Nexus - GSM/Yakju (Android 4.2 Jellybean)
Nexus 7 - 16GB/WiFi (Android 4.2 Jellybean)

Synx for Linux has been tested on the following distributions:

Ubuntu GNOME Remix 12.10
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Fedora 17 (See special installation instructions if you are using 64-Bit)

Confirmed Unsupport

Synx for Linux does not work on the following devices (if anyone wants to make a patch to add support feel free):

LG Optimums One P500

Updated Release: Synx for Windows 3.0

Etheral — Wed, 16 Jan 2013 04:56:39 GMT

Plan
We are redoing the Synx UI to make Synx less of a program and more of just a utility you can run and requires no thought to use. Synx for Windows 3.0 will not support ADB as people can use programs like Windows Media Player for that but it will synx with older devices better than it did before. Synx for Windows 3.0 will be removing a lot of the junk added in the 2.x releases. The 3.x will be the last version of Synx for Windows as Synx for Linux/GNU will become our main focus.

What will be removed:

AirSynx

What will be upgraded:

The actual synxing process (a progress bar will be added)

What will be added:

A simple UI based on dialogs (Synx UI v2.1 will still be avalible)
