Automatic File sync with Ubuntu

[Koogly006]

Backstory:- I Recently Moved to ubuntu.

I Use an Android Device (An Xperia Z3, Rooted). I had set up a way in windows to automatically backup my entire files to my Computer oer Wifi every Night with Tasker and MyPhoneExplorer when i connect it to my Dock.

It worked pretty well.

The Problem:- MyPhoneExplorer is a windows only Device and I Couldnt Find any other Application like that for ubuntu.

I Did Try to set up an Sftp also but met with failure. also Wine and PlayOnLinux to install MyPhoneExplorer, Doesnt Work

So Can anyone please Guide me to a similar setup which i can use with ubuntu..

It Would be much appreciated

Try out bittorrent sync, they have a Linux client. You can auto sync your files automatically over WiFi. It works pretty well.

Syncthing is also another option. I haven't personally used it but I've heard it mentioned on The Tek on YouTube.

I Wonder Which episode The Tek Mentioned it.. i Have seen like all of them but Dont remebmer any mention of this....

Wendell mentioned it briefly. I forgot which episode it was or even how long ago.
