Re: Sync software like ActiveSync but one that works.

Agree?
Just wanted to chime in and say that I'm looking for software to do exactly this as well. It seems so ridiculous that one can't simply add additional folders to the list of locations to synchronize in Windows Mobile Device Center beyond just default "My Documents" file sync.

Most importantly, I don't want to sync everything to the internal storage on my TouchPro -- I intend to sync all my music and pictures and such, so it should go on my 16GB SD card! Why does MS even bother having a "Sync Center" if it can't actually sync anything?

I had done a Google search & found EasySync as well, I was about to download it and try it out but it sounds like it won't work for what I want either if it re-syncs everything every time whether the files have changed or not. If I put 10GB of music/pictures on my card that's going to take forever. I guess I'll download it and try it anyway just to be sure.

Have you checked the programs listed in this thread? I'm sure one of them should solve your problem for free. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=57130
I took a look through all of those (NuevoSync, Plaxo, Dashwire, MyPhone, etc) but they all sound like Contacts/Calendar specific sync tools, or "online backup" type sync tools.

I think what we're looking for here is a simple add-on to the existing ActiveSync/WMDC that does *real* customizable file/folder synchronization over USB cable, and that can do it automatically every time you ActiveSync.

I'll keep looking & will let everyone know if I find anything useful.
