Hi all,
I've got a DS118 and want to sync files from my NAS to my Android (10) phone. One way, no reciprocal sync back from the Android.
So for instance, if I put some new music into a folder in the NAS it pops over and appears in my phone too.
I do NOT want to sync all the files in a folder though, just some. Good example, syncing just 4 or 5 specific things from my video folder not the whole thing, so including/excluding is important.
I'm using the Android app SMBSync2 at the moment which is fine if I'm at home but want to do this on the move. And without paying for a sync service like Goodsync. And I don't want to move stuff into an intermediary like Dropbox or a cloud service first due to privacy and also I sync more than the free GB allowance on those services.
I've searched here and elsewhere and nothing. There's got to be a simple answer to what looks on the surface like a common and simple problem.
Thanks for any help or advice,
Ps am a little tech minded but the minute you say stuff about more complex networking stuff I'm lost.
