Synctoy and auto sync to usb flash drive

gaming_guy

This is really annoying me now as i cannot get it to work. all i want to do is make synctoy run when i plug my flash drive into my computer, but it will just not do it

I have tried the autorun.inf method and the Autoplay option (after adding an autoplay handler via tweakui) and it will just not work at all.

i have created a batch script pointing towards the synctoy.exe file (and synctoycmd.exe with the -R switch) and put it in the root of the memory stick and set the autorun.inf to launch the batch script which then should of launched synctoy. i get as far as the cmd window flashing up and closing, but it doesn't launch synctoy.exe (or synctoycmd.exe either).

i'm running XP Pro and synctoy 2.0.

Thanks in advance.

I also had this problem, and eventually went down an easier route using the wonderful goodsync (free).

http://www.goodsync.com/

Plug in the USB key
Set up a synchronisation or backup
Edit the options and choose "Auto"
Check the "On Folders Connect" Sync
Change the "Do not sync" threshold to whatever you want (100% in my case)

Now any time you plug in, it'll run.

Forgot to mention the limitations of the free version. From their website:

Q: What are free version limitations?
A: You can have 3 or less jobs in free version and 100 or less files and folders in each job.
