[Q] Automatically Synchronize Folders via USB (Android - Mac)

[TheAKAlias]

Hi XDAs !

I've been looking extensively on the web and these forums for a solution but could not come up with anything. If there's already a thread/solution and i missed it - just help me out with the link and I'll instantenously close this topic.

Preface: The folders of my mac and android are already synchronized via cloud (Dropsync & Boxcryptor). But this solution does not cover my requirement for speed - syncing a couple of GB takes ages which is not acceptable.

AirDrop and Cheetha only synchronize via WiFi which I want to avoid (unsecure netzworks and airdrop costs etc...)

So I figured out a workaround: enable the note 8 in mass storage mode and just use a mac based tool for the job. Unfortunately USB Mass storage enable does not work with the Note 8. Android File Transfer does not support automatical synchronization of any kind.

Is there a solution for my problem (may be MTP based)?


Thanks

Am i really the only one looking for that possibility?

has no one really tried to bring USB Mass Storage to the Note 8, yet? Except for the guys behind the app USB Mass Storage Enabler (which does not work for the Note 8).

Solution

Since no one here seems to have a solution I want to share mine.

Atm. there's just a workaround for USB Synchronization of Folders: setup a FTP.

1. Download the App FTPServer for Android (you have to install an ADB Server)
2. Utilize a program like GoodSync for the atual job
