iSyncr has the ability to sync to Android device's SD card or internal memory. Syncing to either storage can be performed over WiFi or USB. This tutorial will walk you through how to sync to your SD card over WiFi and USB.

First, we want to make sure that the SD card is mounted to the device. To confirm that the SD card is properly mounted and able to be synced to, go to "Settings > Storage." Mount your SD card by pressing "Mount".You will notice that when your SD card is mounted you're able to see available storage space.

NOTE: Android KitKat (4.4) devices are no longer able to sync to the default "syncr" directory on an SD card. For more information view our blog. Once iSyncr is able to access the SD card, iSyncr will be able to sync to it over WiFi. For iSyncr to access the SD card, a /syncr folder (that's created on app installation) needs to be listed on the card. Long press on any playlist over WiFi and select "Sync to SD Card". If you're on an Android 5.0 or later device, we need to grant access, then select your SD Card to gain access to the card. Follow the tutorial below to grant access, or see this tutorial Once you press "Select" you'll receive a toast notifying you of granting access.

Note: If you're using an Android 4.4 device, we're only able to sync to the package folder on the SD card, specifically "Android/data/com.jrtstudio.iSyncr/". For more information please review this blog post.

Syncing with a 3.0+ device over USB:

Note: iSyncr will not be able to make a connection with Android File Transfer Installed. If you want to test your connection, install Android File Transfer (This is useful for determining if you're using a data cable instead of a charge cable) then uninstall Android File Transfer and reboot your Mac. iSyncr will then be able to make a connection without being interrupted or having the "Failed to load device" message.

Once your device is loaded on your Mac over MTP, you will be able to chose what storage location to sync to:

Connect your device. In Windows Explorer, you'll be able to see your device listed as a portable device. Open the device to access the two storage locations. Once the storage locations are able to be seen, right-click iSyncr Desktop and access your storage location. Select the SD card.

Syncing over USB using a 2.3, (Gingerbread) or 2.2 (Froyo) device: Mac: With your device, the application will be able to be seen in Finder over UMS.
