Connect to PC without active sync

[frobie]

Are there any apps that put the phone into like a media storage mode so I can connect to a computer without active sync and still be able to add files to the sd card inside?

I need the same thing. I'm using WM6.

Hi,

Not 100% sure I understand what your trying to do?

I think your trying to move files to and from your SD Card without using activesync?

If so: You have many options.....

~Bluetooth Explorer - It's like having a Shared folder, where you can pull only the needed files you want to keep and copy / paste them anywhere on your WM6 device.

~SD Card Reader - Via Stand alone or a printer to move files back and forth

~Bluetooth FTP - (My Favorite) Move Files and Folders - To & From (PC & PDA)

~WIFI - Depending on your network setup

~Internet Sharing - Via Bluetooth or USB (May need to look at your network setup & security)

~Remote Desktop - Via Bluetooth or USB (Security & Network settings may need to be changed)


Hope this helps!

I'm using Resco Explorer 2007 which allows me to, via wifi, connect to 2 of the computers within my private network. Set up a folder dedicated for PPC files and mapped a network drive to it on my 8525.

I have not been able to connect via wifi to my windows server 2003 machine though.

You want the wm5torage application - it will allow you to put your WM5 or WM6 device into a mode that makes it act as a Mass Storage Device.

The only caveat is that it needs to lock the SD card before putting the device in Mass Storage Mode, so you must install any applications that run constantly (i.e. programs that have Today screen plugins, like Skype) into the device and not on the SD card, or it won't work.

The latest version I know of (that I use) is version 1.73, but there is apparently a version 1.75 at http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=1543.

I have this program, but I *constantly* get CRC errors when transferring a couple of files..its so bad that the app basically doesn't work when transferring more than a couple of megs of data.

Anyone else see this?
