adb sync

Does anyone know how to use the adb sync command? I can't seem to find a good explanation online, on how to use it.

What exactly are you trying to do? A quick search shows it copies files from a folder over to either the system or data partition.

I'm trying to use it to sync photos and Titanium backup to my PC. However after reading your comment something tells me that isn't possible.

Easiest way is to just copy/paste them with a filer explorer. If you want them to automatically sync to your PC then you will need to use something else, think there are a few apps that can take advantage of Google Drive/Dropbox to do this but not sure what one is the best to go for.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.full&hl=en_GB that looks like it'll do it but it is £2.24

you can sync backups via google drive/dropbox in titanium backup settings

Thanks for the suggestions. I was hoping to do it via scripting because I'm interested in setting up back up scripts for all my stuff as a way of learning bash (or powershell).

I don't use google drive and i've run out of space on dropbox.

ADB and fastboot is more for fiddling around with Android. Don't think there's any commands that will do what you want.

If you have a Google account, then you already have a Google Drive account, might as well make use of it.
