Synchronize folders

[mmjoshi]

I know Macrodroid has the out of the box ability to copy files from one folder to another. However, is there any way to synchronize the files in two folders?

You should be able to use the cp command to copy files. You add this in the shell script action.

Synchronize? Best of what can MacroDroid do is to periodically copy files from one folder to other.

How about the rsync command?

Foldersync pro might fit the bill. I've not seen rsync

Sorry about a newbie question! What is shell script?

Is rsync a built in command or an app?

Yes. That seems to be the out of the box capability.

Foldersync seems to be useful. How can I run Foldeesync when there is a change in any of the files? Haven't found a trigger which will be activated when there is a change in the file system. Don't want to run Foldersync periodically even when there is no change in any of the files.

Sorry for my late reply. If you open Foldersync and navigate to your folder pair choose advanced and scroll to the bottom you can see it checks if files have been modified. It is worth setting a schedule in Foldersync

Thanks. That works perfectly.
