Is there any tool that allows me to compare a local folder with a folder on my android phone (connected via USB) ?
I tried WinMerge and FreeFileSync, but none of those can "see" the connected smartphone.
The issue seems to be that, while the phone is visible and browsable in Explorer, it is not mounted as a drive,and the MAP cannot be used there as well.
Are you trying to compare them or actually synchronize their contents? – music2myear – 2014-09-22T14:43:30.340
In fact I'd like to "clean up" my phone, by deleting pics that I have already copied to the pc. I don't mind deleting manually, but I'd lile to improve the process a bit. THe bad thing is tha on the phone, it's all in 1 folder, while on the pc, I have made folder like "201407 Holidays". I wanted to used a sync tool more for quick comparing. – Patrick Honorez – 2014-09-22T15:09:55.690
Ah. Do you do most of your photo importing from your phone when it is directly connected to the computer via USB? – music2myear – 2014-09-22T15:12:11.993
I enabled automatic save of pictures to DropBox. Regularly, (after holdays, party..) I move them from the "Camera Uploads" in DropBox, to the appropriate folder on my NAS. I just realized that this does not clean up my SD card, and I need to do something. But I want to make sure I don't delete forgotten pics by mistake. – Patrick Honorez – 2014-09-22T15:19:19.837
Did you configure your Android phone, by enabling the setting, to allow you to see the its storage contents? – Ramhound – 2014-09-22T15:25:17.190
I do see the storage: the phone's folders and files do appear in Windows Explorer. BUt not as a drive. – Patrick Honorez – 2014-09-22T17:25:16.903
[Sorry] What a lse aes we have here! Delete it yourself. there is no program that can read DropBox DB and compare it to yourfolder Unless you write one. Also check DrobBox app's settings. OH: Dont use drop box for your private photoes as they may get published. (WEB IS NOT A SAFE PLACE and NEVER WILL BE.). Also listen to my last tip: Dont be lazy. – UltraDEVV – 2014-09-22T20:44:36.733
