How does eDrive sync work?
eDrive is a system app that synchronizes user data to Murena Workspace or a self-hosted cloud. You have complete control over which directories are synchronized to the cloud, but by default, eDrive syncs the following from device to cloud:
Device location | Cloud location | Category |
---|---|---|
/storage/emulated/0/DCIM | /Photos | Images |
/storage/emulated/0/Pictures | /Pictures | Images |
/storage/emulated/0/Movies | /Movies | Movies |
/storage/emulated/0/Music | /Music | Music |
/storage/emulated/0/Ringtones | /Ringtones | Ringtones |
/storage/emulated/0/Documents | /Documents | Documents |
/storage/emulated/0/Podcasts | /Podcasts | Podcasts |
/data/system/users/0/ | /Devices/<id>/rom_settings/ | Rom settings |
/data/data/foundation.e.drive/files/ | /Devices/<id>/rom_settings/app_list/ | Rom settings |
Customize eDrive synchronization settings
To choose the directories to be synchronized to the cloud, navigate to System settings > Passwords & Accounts > Select your Murena.io account > Account sync. You can toggle synchronization settings for the following categories:
Application settings
toggle will affect synchronization for device settings.Pictures and videos
toggle will affect synchronization for Images, Movies, Music, Ringtones, Documents and Podcasts directories.
In here, you can also enable/disable “Allow files sync on metered network”. If this option is disabled, eDrive will not synchronize files over a metered network, such as mobile data.
