Re: Help Please: Cannot Set Directory Locks in Ubuntu

And direct file editing works fine from my laptop over USB with my old phone right now, so it's not the laptop USB drivers that are the problem. Something is impaired with the new phone (Samsung Galaxy Fold 3) USB. Diagnostics there show normal. Working on it...

Re: Help Please: Cannot Set Directory Locks in Ubuntu

I've been doing a bit of learning that MTP seems to be what the laptop and phone are using to interface, and, from my reading, although MTP works find for file transferring it is touchy regarding direct file editing. This seems to be where my problem lies: through the laptop, over USB cable, I can c...

Re: Help Please: Cannot Set Directory Locks in Ubuntu

I'm in touch with Samsung support. It's likely an issue with the phone and not Free File Sync. Sorry if this is therefore an inappropriate question to post here; if it must be deleted I understand.

Help Please: Cannot Set Directory Locks in Ubuntu

I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS on my laptop with Free File Sync 11.28 [donation edition]. I bought a new Samsung Galaxy Fold 3 phone and was transferring files to it today from my laptop using a USB 3 cable. To my horror the phone decided to do an automatic update and restart in the middle of Free Fil...

Re: Can't Reverse Sync on Ubuntu 20+

Nevermind; I may have to install an older version of Ubuntu due to other issues with the latest release.

Can't Reverse Sync on Ubuntu 20+

I use FreeFileSync (FFS) to syncrhonize between my cellphone data and my laptop data: files in a certain directory which I keep on both devices, and I work on these files on both devices (although not at the same time). Syncronization works fine mirroring from my phone (left side of FFS window) to m...

Re: Cellphone Files Not Found in New FFS Versions

I sincerely apologize that I did not see Zenju's 29 Dec, 2019 response or I would have replied.
The good news is that I have downloaded the new public version, 10.20, and it works fine for me.
Thank you FreeFileSync / Zenju.

Cellphone Files Not Found in New FFS Versions

I like to sync data between my cellphone and my (Linux) laptop over USB using FreeFileSync. Unfortunately versions later than FreeFileSync_10.17_Linux do not support this. What happens is that when I open my file manager and click on my cellphone, no file tree appears. So I still use FreeFileSync_10...
