Sync problems between PC and Samsung Tablet

Posts: 3 · Subjektiv 7 Mar 2022, 11:59

Hi!
I connected with USB and tried some syncs between PC (W10) and Samsung tablet (Android 10). I wanted the use "Mirror" but it did not work. It seems that "FreeFileSync" cannot delete files on the target Tablet.
The "Update" variant works, which never deletes files on the target.
Do You have any advice to solve the problem? A matter of Android oder of "FreeFileSync"?

Tank You in advance!
Christian

What error does it throw? It works fine on my Note10+

There is no error message. It hangs synchronizing while trying to delete the first found file, works and works and works, but without success. When I stop the sync then the programm freezes. I have then to disconnct the tablet and ther is no more freeze. Then I can finish and stop the sync. Connect again the tablet, try sync again - same failure...

Copy and delete operations with explorer work perfectly, but not with "FreeFileSync".

I really wish MTP would get an overhaul or some kind of workaround, it's a shame. I somehow found a USB 3.0 cable plugged into a 3.0 hub, plugged into a 2.0 extension, plugged into a 2.0 port on the motherboard, that works flawlessly at work. I will never try to change it or move it lol. It's only 2.0 speeds, but more than fast enough, especially since any attempt at 3.0 will just randomly disconnect in the middle of transferring.
