<p><font size="5"><font size="6"><b><font color="#408080">About how
many Android users do we have out there?</font></b></font></font><font

<p><font size="5">The Potpourri session this week will include the
Syncthing software, which while it does work on Mac, Linux, and
Windows, it also supports Android devices, phones, and tablets.
(Including the Amazon Kindle) Yes, you can install Syncthing on
a Kindle Fire HD too. Unfortunately, no IOS is not supported.
There are file system issues preventing the software from
running properly so that it works like it does on the other
platforms. IOS devices do not have an application accessible
file system the way desktop operating systems do. It was tried,
and eventually canned.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="5">Syncthing is for everybody that has data that they
either don't want to sync to the cloud or there is too much data
than will fit in a free cloud storage server.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="5">Doesn't matter what PC OS you use. Syncthing is
available in the Google Play App Store.</font></p>
<p><font size="5">The reason I'm asking is Syncthing on Android
pre-configures itself capable of backing up your pictures &
screenshots folder, so it's ready to sync in one direction to
any other device. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="5">Google only provides you with so much space to
upload and back up your pictures and videos. You can choose not
to purchase additional cloud storage space if you don't want to,
and archive your complete collection of videos and pictures to
your computer. Then, back them up using whatever backup software
you use for your computer. This way you can also keep your files
at full resolution rather than compressing them to a smaller
file on Google Photos.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="5">Personally, I sync my media folder on my phone to
Windows and Linux computers, so I have a complete up-to-date
copy of all the photos I've taken. You can sync to one, or many
devices. You're limited only by your available disk space.</font></p>
<p><font size="5">Thanks,</font></p>
<p><font size="5">More on Wednesday. We'll configure a new server
and add it to my current installation.</font></p>
