FolderSync

Synchronization on Android with FolderSync

To synchronize your data to or from your Android smartphone, we recommend the FolderSync app.

Installation

To install FolderSync on your smartphone, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Google Play Store on your smartphone.
  2. Search for “FolderSync” in the search bar at the top.
  3. Tap on the “FolderSync” app in the search results.
  4. Tap the “Install” button to download and install the app.

Integrating your luckycloud Account

  1. After completing the installation, you can open FolderSync via the app icon on your home screen or in the app overview.
  2. Grant the app “file permissions”, “additional permissions” are optional.
  3. Navigate to the account icon via the tab at the bottom of the screen.
  4. Tap on “+Add Account”.
  5. Select “luckycloud WebDav”.
  6. Choose your subscription.
  7. Enter your username and password. Pro-Enterprise users additionally enter “YOURDOMAIN/luckydav” as the server address.
  8. Click on “Test” to check if your entries are correct.
  9. If the test is successful, tap “Save” to complete the process.

Creating a Folder Pair

Finally, a folder pair must be created through which synchronization will then take place.

  1. After connecting the account, either click on “+Folder Pair” or go to the folder icon via the bottom tab and tap on “+Create Folder Pair”.
  2. Choose one of the three options for synchronization:
    a) “To Remote Folder”: Sets up a one-way upload to your cloud storage.
    b) “To Local Folder”: Establishes a one-way download to a folder on your smartphone.
    c) “Two-Way Synchronization”: Establishes a two-way synchronization between your smartphone and your cloud storage.
  3. Under “Folder on Server”, navigate to the folder in your luckycloud storage that should be connected to your smartphone and activate it with a checkmark. Alternatively, you can also create a new folder. Note, however, that you cannot create new directories here, only new folders within directories.
  4. Under “Local Folder”, select the folder on your smartphone where the synchronization should take place (e.g., “Pictures”).
  5. Tap the sync button to start the manual synchronization.

Scheduling

For automatic synchronization, you can now set an interval at which FolderSync will sync your smartphone with your luckycloud.

  1. Navigate to “Scheduling” in the top tab.
  2. Check “Scheduled Sync Enabled”.
  3. Select the desired interval from the drop-down menu under “Synchronization Interval”. (We recommend an interval of every six hours.)

Important Note: Encrypted directories cannot be viewed or integrated via the WebDAV interface.
