On the device

In this section, you specify where the files involved in the current file sync rule are stored on the client. The file store specification consists of a base path and a relative path and/or a filename.

Please note that file synchronization is not supported on Apple iOS devices.

1. In the field Root, specify one of five aliases, which point to different locations on the device.
   • [dmestore]: This path is specific to the device platform in question:

     Android: /data/data/dk.excitor.dme/files/

     Symbian: C:\Data\Others\DME\PUBLIC\

     Windows Mobile: My Device\Program Files\Dme\Data\files\

   • [internal]: On the device, this will be translated to the name of the internal flash memory.

     Android: /data/

     Symbian: C:\Data\

     Windows Mobile: My Device\

   • [external]: On the device, this will translated to the root of the external flash memory, such as a memory storage card.

     Android: /sdcard/

   • [internalroot]: On the device, this will be translated to the name of the internal flash memory. On Symbian devices, this is the root of the system drive (C:); on other platforms, it corresponds to [internal].
   • [externalroot]: Same as [external].
2. In the field File/directory, append a folder or filename, which is relative to the base path. Note that if you are synchronizing a single file, you can specify any filename as the device file store file name. The file will be renamed in the synchronization process.
3. Finally, append a slash (/) or backslash (\) to the path if you are synchronizing a folder. Do not append a slash or backslash if you synchronize a single file.

If a folder does not exist on the device, it is created at the first synchronization.

Examples of paths to the device file store:

• [internal]syncdox\

  The files on the server are kept in sync with files in the folder syncdox in the root of the internal flash memory drive.

• [external]syncdox\currentprices.xls

  The spreadsheet file currentprices.xls in the folder syncdox in the root of the external memory card drive is kept in sync with (or updated by) a file in the DME file store or a network file store.

• [dmestore]currentprices.xls

  The spreadsheet file currentprices.xls in the folder specified for the device platform in question is kept in sync with (or updated by) a file in the DME file store or a network file store.
