Sync/Compare between PC and Phone

Post by *Alonzo Mosley »

I have a lot of pictures in my Android phone, and I am 99 percent certain I've archived them, but wanted to be sure.

I had hoped that if I plugged my phone into my PC, brought up the phone's DCIM directory on one side of TC and my PC's archive folder on the other, I could hit "Synchronize Dirs" and at least see if anything is missing. But TC appears, once I select the DCIM directory, to treat it as a networked drive?

And when I hit Synch, it gives me a message that this is not an acceptable combination.

I tried "Compare", but it highlight *all* of the photos on the phone - and I can clearly see that many are indeed in the PC's archive as well.

Is there an easy way to accomplish this? I saw some posts about FTP'ing, but hoped there might be something a little slicker.

Thanks
