HTC One M8 :: Why Isn't Google Drive Local Folder Syncing With Phone
Feb 11, 2015
I am dragging and dropping files in to the local DRIVE folder that installed itself on my laptop. Been doing it for 2 + years and all was working fine.I have just noticed that since late last year - or possible early this year- that nothing has synced to DRIVE on my HTC one M8 (... nor are they in the DRIVE app if i open it up on the laptop)
It definitely seems like a problem with the local DRIVE folder not syncing? (if i drag and drop in to the app on the laptop direct, then all is fine)Also, on the phone, if i go to the incoming screen and swipe down to refresh, i get "Refresh failed: please check your network connection". i am definitely connected to the wi-fi
I've always been able to connect my phone to my PC with a USB cable and have a folder pop up which would allow me to transfer files but for some reason I can't anymore.
When I connect the USB, my PC makes a noise like when a device has been connected and my phone says "connected as a media device" but I still can't see the folder. The phone is set to connect as Media Device (MTP), not a Camera (PTP).
A notice that each day a new folder is created on the C: drive of my C6-01 Belle. The name of those folders are dates, on the format YYYYMMDD, e.g. 20120410. The files on those folders have names such as ##-##.##_SearchServer.txt. Those are text files which seam to contain a log file.
This whole thing is quite inconvenient, since normally the mentioned folders have 6 to 9 MBytes. Every week or so I have to manually delete the folders, in order to gain space on my C: drive. If I don't do so, the space on the C: drive can shrink in a few weeks from the normal 190 MB to 20 Mb or so.
What the heck is this? Isn't Belle supposed to be a user friendly system? A system is not supposed to keep creating folders every day and leaving them behind as garbage. A 'normal' user would never have the idea (or the courage) to keep deleting system folders every week or so in order to gain space on the system drive!
When I first started using my LG G3 D850 I copied all my calendar items over to the phone. I set it up to sync with google calendars.
But I looked online at my google calendar and do not see any of the entries that are on my phone.
As far as I can tell all other things are syncing with my gmail account. The only things I use regularly are gmail and contacts and they are syncing fine.
I have accidentally deleted camera folder in quickpic app and lost all of mi important photos... How to retrieve those photos...I haven't added any backup options too....
I got Nexus 5 and it does not have an App to play Local FM radio, even a 1.5 K phone will be able to play FM radio without any internet and why Nexus 5 does not have this basic feature ?
I have BMW X5 (produced in 2014) and enjoyed seeing/searching all my contacts in the car transferred via bluetooth while I was using iPhone. Now I switched to Nexus 6 and my contacts no longer show in BMW, while bluetooth pairing was successful. I can make calls in the car, receive calls in the car, see my sms messages on the car screen, etc. The only option that is missing is contacts view and search.
So I was wondering how to sync my contacts from my google account to my phone. My wife had a Samsung and I synced the contacts with her google account but the contacts won't sync back to her new Icon. Is this not possible?
I am doing a favour for my in-laws to take some photos inside some house that they are thinking of purchasing (they live at the other side of the country and can't travel to view it).
My photos are automatically uploaded to my sky drive over mobile so sharing an album with them and they can view the photos in real time as I am taking photos (in theory!). Trouble is.... any photos I take goes to the camera roll folder/album. Is there anyway I can make any photos I snap to go to a certain album instead of camera roll?
Or does it sound like I need to get a specific app (though will it auto upload I wonder?)
Just received an odd error on my N5 when I woke up this morning, simply says "Google Drive could not authenticate. Please check your account settings.".
Yet when I swipe the window out, then enter Google Drive, everything appears fine (I see a couple of my files in there). Further, there is nothing in "Settings" in Drive that actually allows me to check the account settings?
I have N5 with latest Marshmallow updates (November 2015) rooted with ElementalX kernel installed. I have a very strange issue that while playing any local (not streaming) audio file, it plays with double or triple of its speed.
I used several apps to make sure it's not application based issue, the same occurs.
I don't know if this has always been like this and I've just not noticed but there is a ton of Google drive postings coming across BlinkFeed. I already have Google drive so I don't need to sign up, it's just really annoying. Is there a way to get rid of it?
I want to download The Walking Dead seasons on my 16gb Nexus 5. Since I don't have much storage I was wondering if I can transfer it over to a USB drive from my phone. I don't want to stream it since I plan on watching it on a flight.
I recently moved from iphone to Android and the G4 is my first android phone. My work email is IMAP and although everything is working, my sent folder on the phone seems local to the device. Google shows a couple of different options with the most reasonable one being "setting the IMAP path prefix" but the email app on the G4 has no such setting.
This is a pretty big deal for me as I have tons of email and need the Inbox and Sent folders to be synced with the server. (by the way, I have disabled automatic sync, but for a different reason, i.e. to not allow my gmail account to sync contacts on the phone. But the auto-sync is not something that affects the Sent folder)...
From the 920 MS Account and the PC Outlook.com, messages are created & saved in the respective Drafts folder...but those messages are not synced. In comparison, Sent messages are synced perfectly.
Enter since I set up my replacement device, I've seen posts on Blinkfeed about getting 100 GB of storage from Google Drive. It shows up multiple times on my feed, even though I already set up my drive space months ago when I originally got my One M8. How to remove it? I don't see it listed anywhere in the settings.
I have an iPhone 5 and frequently listen to music on it. The problem is, I have an enormous music library in iTunes. I believe it's around 50 GB or so. I've heard bigger, but unfortunately my library is too big to physically reside in my iPhone's storage (which is 64GB). I pay for a 1TB Google Drive subscription. Would it be possible to load these songs on my iPhone 5?
Rooted, kitkat 4.4.4. I like to backup my entire nexus 5 to a large external sdcard using ES file explorer and stickmount pro. After an initial copy of all files it would be nice if I could copy "only changed or new files".
The 32gb sdcard is formatted fat32 and although I can copy files from the phone to it my backup failed when I tried to copy large files. I get an error message saying that there isn't enough space which is nonsense because the external sdcard is almost empty! Not sure why.
I just had to rebuild a BES box using the Xpress Server software 5.0.1. After reactivating all the phones, I noticed that the subfolders were all empty. Here is what I did...
1. I double checked the Web Desktop Manager to ensure that the redirection was turned on. 2. Enabled folder redirection on the handheld and SELECTED ALL subfolders. a. I read that the messages would have to be moved to another folder, then readded for the sync to catch, so I did...
Accidentally deleted calendar data which was on the local phone not associated with any account. This was on the stock Samsung calendar. Is there any way to recover that data?
