cobian reflector does not see smartphone

Post by Damians »

I want to synchronize a folder on my pc with a folder on my android smartphone, but cobian reflector does not see the smartphone when it is connected to the computer via cable.
I also tried to activate USB debugging but it did not help.

If the program is installed as an application it should "see" the phone.

the program is installed as an application, no automatic start and no volume shadow copy.
However, the program cannot see the smartphone.
No problem using Windows file explorer

I honestly don't know, how do I check if it's mounted as a drive?

I did try this some time ago and found some software to install on my PC.This worked but not as reliable as I would have liked, so I gave up. If you search Google for "AndroidDrive" you will get some information and will get some info to go forward with this. I am sorry I can not be more specific, but it was some time I tried this. I wish you good luck and please report here any progress you have.
I have no idea for phones other than Android, Sorry.

I will also send a BIG Thank You to Luis Cobian for your work with "Backup" and "Reflector". I have used both programs for many years. I also wish you the best for the future!

Tack för allt ditt arbete du har lagt ner på detta!

I can't assign a drive letter to the smartphone. Recent smartphones have limitations, in disk management the smartphone is not detected.

Reflector won't see the smartphone as Explorer.
For copying files to smartphone you need to use Android Debug Bridge (adb) utility and Dummy task with script in Events tab like

From phone to computer

Code: Select all

adb pull /storage/8416-1234/DCIM/Сamera C:\Photos
From computer to phone

Code: Select all

adb push C:\Photos /sdcard/DCIM/Photos
