Q: Can Twonky Mobile Sync file with my computer?
A: Yes. You can configure wireless syncing the first time you launch this software, or set it up later by following the steps below:
Configuring Sync Settings
In most cases, the factory defaults for the sync folders on your mobile device will work without any need for configuration.
By default, synced photos are found in the DCIM folder on your SD card. Synced music and videos are found in the Twonky Sync folder on your SD Card. To change the default sync folders on your mobile device, follow the steps below under Changing Your Mobile Sync Folders.
Selecting a Sync Server
Before you can sync your media, you need to install a compatible sync server on your computer and select this as your sync server.
Compatible sync servers include: TwonkyServer 6.0.36 (or later), TwonkyManager 2.0.7 (or later) or other WebDAV server software.
1. Launch Twonky Mobile
2. Press the menu button and click on Sync.
3. Select \'Sync Settings\'
4. Select \'Configure Music Sync\'
5. Touch \'Choose sync location\' and select the remote server and folder you want to use for synching. You\'ll see a spinning circle while we scan your network for supported servers. Make sure you\'ve installed one of the compatible sync servers listed above.
6. Press the OK button to continue, unless you have previously set a username and password for this server. By default no username or password has been set.
7. To change the default sync option select one of the following three options:
a. Full sync – This syncs files in both directions. Files added to either sync folder, will be copied to the sync folder on your other device.
b. Copy files from this device to server – This only syncs in one direction, from this device to your other device.
c. Copy server files to this device – This only syncs in one direction, from the other device to this device.
To automatically sync all items, press the back button and check \'Allow Auto-Sync when in home network\' which is described below.
8. Press the Back button and repeat steps 5 through 8 for photos and video if you plan to sync them as well.
9. When you\'re finished press the Back button until you\'ve returned to your media.
Note: The syncing feature is a non-deleting sync. This means that it will not delete the files on your server if you delete them on your device. Alternatively, if you delete or move files from your sync folders on your server, those files will not be deleted from your device the next time you sync.
Automatic Sync
If you\'ve checked \'Allow Auto-Sync when in home network\' on the Sync Settings screen, your mobile device will automatically sync with your selected sync server every time your mobile device joins your Wi-Fi network.
Manual Sync
To manually sync media, go to the Menu page and press the Sync button. Then, press the Sync button for a desired media type.
You’ll see a progress bar appear. Keep in mind that it takes about 10 seconds to sync a song over Wi-Fi, so be patient if you\'ve selected a folder with a lot of media.
To sync all media types at once, just click the Sync All button at the top.
Finding Synced Media
By default, you can find synced media on your mobile device here:
Music - Twonky Sync\\Music
Photos - DCIM
Videos - Twonky Sync\\Videos
By default, you can find synced media on your computer here:
Music - My Music\\Twonky\\Sync
Photos - My Pictures\\Twonky\\Sync
Videos - My Videos\\Twonky\\Sync
Changing Your Mobile Sync Folders
1. Press the menu button and click on Sync.
2. Select \'Sync Settings\'
3. Select \'Configure Music Sync\'
4. Select \'Edit sync location\'
5. Select a folder for each media type that you want to sync by clicking on it and pressing the Select button. Synched files will be placed here. It is not recommended that you select the top level (or root) of your SD card for this.
6. Repeat steps 4 through 6 for photos and video if you plan to sync them as well.
