Anyone know where to find the Scrapbook folder?
I can't seem to find it using Astro File Manager.
My Scrapbook app crashes from time to time and it won't reopen (T-Mobile US version). It'd be a lot easier to locate the scrapbook folder and open images manually. Thanks bros.

The Scrapbook folder assuming you are dealing with Google+ is synced to your device through your Google account. In order to manipulate this folder or delete it, follow these steps:
In order to remove or modify, follow the below simple steps.
Go to Picasa Web. You can log in to this using your Google ID.
There you can see a list of albums you have. This will contain your Google+ albums.
There you will be able to find this Scrapbook Photos album.
Click on that and go to actions -> choose your option (edit, rename, delete etc...)
No go to your phone and sync data. The mystery album won’t be there anymore.
Hope this helps!

Good question. I want to backup the scrapbook folder(s) to Dropbox because I do not trust Samsung sync, but I could not find it either. I have already saved very useful and important profesional material that I need to keep safe at any cost. I hope someone knows. Thanks in advance
Thanks for the info Cellrama. I'm still looking to find the folder to where the Scrapbook images are located. Appreciate the info though.
Anyone else have an idea?
No idea. .. you have to save them manually as pics, then they'll show up in the default pictures folder. No idea where the folder is for whatever is default.
Bump.
Anyone?

I realize this doesn't answer your question but I believe it solves your problem! This was driving me nuts but I got scrapbook working again.
I went into titanium backup and backed up then wiped data for com.sec.android.ap...martclipservice 1.0 and SmartClipProvider 1.0, then rebooted and now scrapbook works again. Note: everything that was in my scrapbook is now gone.
Hope this helps! :good:
The Answer to Your Question
The folder can be found here on a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 or 4 for your Scrapbook folder so you can back it up using Dropsync:
/storage/emulated/lecacy/Scrapbook
I don't think this is scrapbook data itself, but if you're like me, most of what's in scrapbook comes from stuff you've captured with the smart clip function.
You can find that at
Storage/emulated/0/android/com.Samsung.android provider.smartclip/files/ClipData

I recently setup Activesync to sync files but i really only wanted it to sync a single Word Document file in My Documents on my Vario.
When it syncs it syncs the whole of the My Documents folder, which is crap cos this contains all my camera photos and videos and I dont want that. is there a way to just do files you want.
I managed to delete the files on my PC and it removed them on my Vario!
Also any new files that appear in My Documents on my Vario get automatically synced!
TIA
Doug
That would be difficult. What I suggest would be to move your not-wanting-to-syn files to your storage card or some folder in your root (e.g. not in the My Documents). Yeah, that would cause problems with many of your applications as it will look for My Document first and you would have to go and find your customized folder.
Anyway, you can try this (I didn't try it before). Create a shortcut in your My Documents that point to another folder where you keep all your real files, so that if your app open My Document, it would be easy for you to find that folder. But, still any photo taken by your camera will be still in My Document.
Anyway, there isn't much harm syncing all files. I mean, as long as the files are not changed, the isn't much time consumed in synching them. Better just leave them as they are
UPDATE:
For camera, see this

Hi all,
Well, the title says it all. In the gmail app or in the internet browser I cannot save attachments to the sd card.
Mainly the Galaxy tries to open it with the ThinkOffice app, but I only want to save the attach, be it .odt, .mp3, .epub, ...
Thanks in advance.
i have the same problem, every format, pdf, exl, etc shows preview only in the message and if I hit preview it comes up Fetching attachment, then 'An SD card is required to download attachments' i have a SD card in aswell as an internal one.
Nothing i seem to do will let me open an attachment, not only with the standard office viewer even with Docs to go installed it wont let me save or open them.

My experience, on a quick test just now. Within the email app, the save feature is dependent on file type (I had two attachments, 1 being a pic and 1 being an excel file).
Picture: Options - download or preview (buttons right after the pic)
Excel file: Options -preview (button right after the pic). After getting put into ThinkFreeOffice (which you don't have to activate), you can click the menu button then click "File" to save to the SD card.
Hope that helps, at least the OP.
APKatcher
This should work.
Sorry, this only works for apk´s.
I've found using the gmail through the web browser allows me to save attachments, rather than trying to open them like the gmail app does.
I would suggest you download and install the astro app and in preferences go and put a check mark against "enable browser download". This should enable you to save any kind of attachment via gmail app. Works very well for me.

How do you do this... can you please explain. I need to download mostly pdf's word and excel docs for work... please help!
Thank you!!
just instal astro file manager
Ok guys I know this may have a simple answer but I haven't been able to pinpoint it.
In Accounts & Sync under my Gmail account there is the option to sync Google Docs, ok , where do they sync to? I have looked all through my SD card and system folders with Root Explorer and haven't been able to find it...
Thanks ahead for any input from all of you...
there is a google docs app u have to install
It must be a temp folder as those documents are not stored in the phone
Well I do have Docs installed but if it's syncing then it must be putting the files somewhere to make them readily accessible....
But I may be wrong
/data/data/com.google.android.apps.docs/

Hey thanks jhotmann.... I sent you a thanks too...
Ok I hadn´t gotten as far as that folder. Aight I saw in there a database list that I opened with SQLite and it has all the names of everything I had in google docs, so am I to assume that it doesn't physically download anything, just keeps a list of what is there and keeps up with changes in those documents?

I dont know of any app that actually keeps a full copy of all the google docs in the phone.
However my solution is use ( kind of limited but... )
1. syncdocs.com to sync google docs file to PC and
2. use missingsync to sync folder in PC with my sd card.
The result is anyfile that i edit in phone gets synced to google docs and vice verssa.
Hi, I would love to have an app similiar to colornote which saves the notes into a .txt file so that I can easily sync it with "FolderSync" (or smiliar) via my own server and simply open the .txt file on my computer. Is there anything like that? :S
Maybe a simple notepad would do it as well ?
Thanks
You really could have googled this... or just searched the market.
Even dropbox saves ".txt" files.
I need an app on android which will let me edit .txt files.. which are saved on the SD-Card.
And **** dropbox. I want to sync the files on my own server. Preferable as soon as the file changes. Maybe FolderSync will do the syncing job. Still I need an note-taking app. ColorNote would be awesome but it doesn't save the notes on the sd-card?

Thanks.. now I just need to figure out how to sync the file on my ftp as soon as it changes :>
Looks like tasker will do that.
So I finally got the device where I wanted it yesterday. Today I notice that my available space is already down to 5gb without me putting much on the phone. After digging around, I found that there is a folder called documentsync that holds 2gb of my dropbox files and it seems to be putting more on there as I type. I think this is causing my phone to die a quick death as it was burning batteries on standby. Anyone have this problem?

I had the same problem. I can't believe that Samsung has this turned on by default. Go to settings > accounts > cloud and turn off Document Sync. This will then remove all the content from your device.
I never use Samsung 's implementation of Dropbox sync. It is poorly done and uses internal storage.
3rd party apps do a better job in folder to folder syncing with more controls over the directory location and sync schedules.

Yup, my god. After installing my apps and configuring my phone, I saw that the disk space was down to around 3GB. It made no sense, and I started cursing the pre-installed S4 software like everyone else. I removed stuff with Titanium, and even directly using a root folder browser, and I pray I didn't break anything. The next day, I finally noticed that "DocumentSync" folder and had no idea what it was, except obviously its directory structure matched my Dropbox account. I still couldn't find any info, so I simply deleted it. Somehow, I think I'm lucky that I didn't delete all my Dropbox content. After reading this thread, I check the setting and it was already turned off, so I have no idea how that happened (perhaps when I deleted that folder). Really stupid of them to background sync several gigabytes of data on you by default with no warning.
In fact, the first day after getting my phone, I got a warning that my disk space had been filled up. It completely made no sense, so I unlinked and re-linked my cloud apps, and cursed the one that's in beta that I assumed was at fault and then got all paranoid about it. All those complaints about the S4 are pretty much over minor annoyances, but this default stealth auto-sync makes it look like your phone is completely messed up. I have to say it's the phone's biggest hiccup. But even though it's easily fixed, it caused quite a bit of chaos and worry on my part, and I hope I didn't damage anything while trying to fix it.
I want to delete the folder but is it supposed to delete the files in your Dropbox account? I don't want to risk losing the files.

I would make a backup before deleting just to be sure
Probably a good idea :thumbup:

Thanks. I didn't get back to reading this forum until. I simply disconnected the dropbox account, disable sync,then reconnect my account. That had to be the dumbest default setting ever.

Yesterday I just delete this documentsync folder. DON'T DO THIS!!!! It have delete all the documents files Inside my dropbox account. Turn this option off in setting before delete anything or you will lose them.
Fortunately, the dropbox site offer a restore file option (the trash icon on top) . Whitout this, I had loose so much valuables files.
Hi guys,
my queries are similar. I really want a way to sync files from my PC with my Note 3. My required files are all documents (docx, xlsx, pdf, txt etc) I’m not looking for music video syncs. I use many important docs and excels and I want them all 100% updated on my phone all time so that I can use them anywhere.
I’m not a dropbox fan and used it very less in past but after getting note 3 I realize there have less ways to sync and store files in external memory. I wanted them all to store in external card (32gb) as many files but I doesn’t. Still internal is fine. I started use Dropbox app and tried the stock file manager dropbox option. What happened, in the initial setup it downloaded all files in internal memory DocumentSync folder but then when I started changing those files, it did not updated those over dropbox. Make sure I was editing DocumentSync folders raw files by Polaris Office, not from dropbox application or either the file manager home screen dropbox icon shortcut as both of them downloading each files before editing. As these didn’t work, like you all I remove this and disable this option.
But as I always wanted all these dropbox files locally, even when offline/no network I can update/read those files. So can anyone tell me the purpose of DocumentSync folders local files? Also any way the Samsungs optional dropbox or dropbox app can store all in external memory card? I really don’t want this to way to download each files before reading/editing (due to slower internet).
Please advice, thanks in advance!

Would this app be of use to you? You can store the files locally, then set the file to sync with your dropbox account and it be set up as a two-way sync between phone and dropbox and desktop/tablet/laptop/etc and dropbox.

I checked this apps and few similar like this before but none of them could store in external memory, so no help. But DropSync does, but problem is it stores files in external memory /Android/data/com.ttxapps.dropsync/files which is hard to navigate all time and then the free version only allows one folder to sync, no sub directories. And I’ve all documents set under separate directories. And I do not purchase apps . So didn’t found any other helpful app.
Update:
Yesterday again I linked to the My File Dropbox extinction, and play with it little bit and test few. Earlier I somehow saw it wasn’t correctly, not updating, not syncing properly etc so I removed it. But yesterday I only made Doc Sync, it downloaded all doc files and I did some test by file changes and it syncing instantly. I was changing in raw file in DocumentSync folder.
The only issue I found is if new files added and existing files deleted in dropbox its not immediately doing the same in that folder. Its taking time, and sometime long time. But if I disconnect and reconnect wifi, the changes appearing immediately, most probably this is due to as it set to sync over wifi only.
But its really great for me, as I can get all docs raw files even if no network and don’t have to download each time. But its not working very smoothly and its storing files internal memory but as my all docs are around 5mb no not a big issues. But I would love to get it in external memory. Overall this works great for me also no extra app require. But Samsung should make a way to sync all files locally.
