Manual Sync Mode for Android USB Sync

From CompanionLink Support
Jump to: navigation, search

As part of the DejaOffice USB Sync process, DejaOffice mounts and un-mounts your Android devices's USB storage (SD card) to the PC automatically. Sometimes, DejaOffice may not be able to mount your specific devices USB storage, and may require the use of "Manual Sync Mode." This issue is usually due to carrier and manufacturer tweaks made to the Android OS.

If your device fails to complete a successful USB sync 3 times, the option for "Manual Sync Mode" will appear in DejaOffice Settings/Sync Settings. With this option checked, your device will be able to sync via USB, just with a few added steps.

PLEASE NOTE: This setting is rarely needed, and should only be enabled if instructed by CompanionLink/DejaOffice tech support.
