Tutorial: Android device-Computer syncing over Wi-Fi
This tutorial will teach you how to set up B-Folders on your
computer
and on your Android device when a Wi-Fi connection is available.
1. Check the firewall on the computer
When you start B-Folders for the first time, the
firewall on Windows will normally show a pop-up window asking you
whether to
allow B-Folders to access the network. You must allow B-Folders to
access both private and public networks. If you have blocked B-Folders
somehow or you are not sure, check your firewall settings. Make
sure B-Folders is added to the program exception list and that the
exception
is enabled (the corresponding checkbox is checked).
2. Set up B-Folders on the Android device
Enable Wi-Fi and start the B-Folders application.
NOTE: You can enable Wi-Fi by pressing the Networks button
on the Sync screen and checking the appropriate checkbox.
3. Initiate a sync session
You can initiate a sync session from either side by opening the Sync
panel and selecting the peer that you wish to sync with from the list.
When you open the Sync panel, wait for up to 3 seconds and you should
see the peer.
NOTE: The database of the peer initiating the sync session must be
unlocked. The database of the peer accepting the sync session can be
either locked or unlocked, but it must be “running.” In
other words, you can “lock” your database, but you must not
quit out of it.
If you experience any problems, check B-Folders
Sync FAQ and troubleshooting or contact Support.
