Is there a way for RealTimeSync to detect the presence of a smartphone or tablet?
With FreeFileSync I can synchronize smartphone and PC. (mtp:\Galaxy A12\Phone\DCIM\Camera).
But FreeTimeSync does not allow this.

The MTP protocol doesn't support directory monitoring. The only way this could be "resolved" is if Zenju changed RTS to monitor mtp presence rather than changes, but that complicates things.

I suggest using USB Tethering and a FTP Connection.
This works way more reliable and even faster than MTP.

I've used FTP Server from Playstore to set this up. For smaller backups you could even sync using your Wifi network instead of the USB Tethering. However USB Tethering is way faster for me.
