Is there an Application, that allows me to (automatic)upload photos from my wp8 devices, directly to my own Cloud / server at home?

As far as I know, this could be achieved by uploading the photos to SkyDrive, then sync them using SkyDrive client on PC and after that you can sync the photos from SkyDrive to ownCloud via ownCloud syncing client.

Ok thanks for the answer. But WP8 allows the integration of Apps, that can run in Background and Upload files. There are a lot of Cloud Apps in the Store, but ive no one found, that allows me to connect to an own server / cloud @home. The way with skydrive to owncloud is not a perfect solution for me.

You can still mount the SkyDrive as a partition on Linux or as Network Folder on Windows and do whatever you want with it.
On the other hand, writing native client for your home server could be a PITA, so the only easy way is to make a chain between skydrive (where photos are uploaded automatically and you server.
Ok that sounds good. I will give a try, thank you! But is there also no way to access the data (eg. pictures), directly from the wp8 on my server?
greez
there are 2 way to access the photos from server:
1 - install any webserver, put some gallery script over it and browse it from internet explorer.
2 - create an app and custom gallery script on you home server ))
Ok thank you. I dont have the opportunity to create an app, will try it with a simple gallery script.

My outlook contacts folder is full of crap. Lots of email addresses I never ever use and I don't really want them on my xda.
Is there some way to make the XDA synchronise with a different location on the PC so that I can back up my contact list on the xda but without downloading all the useless bumf from outlook?
Thanks,
Daniel
Furthermore - is there any way to make it synchronise with an OUTLOOK EXPRESS address book rather than outlook?
- you won't be able to synchronize with Outlook Express...that's why they provided a copy of Outlook with the device.
However, if you are interested in synchronizing with other contacts folders give this a try.
Hi thanks for the reply -
a while of fiddling actually brought up this simple (?) solution -
every contact i make on my xda i put into the "xda" category. Then when I sync i tell them to only sync the "xda" category.
That outlook plugin does look interesting - thanks for the link!
Dan
I know of 2 programs that claim to allow syncing with Outlook Express:
1) SyncExpress 2002
http://www.syncdata.it/syncexpress.html
2) Intellisync

Hope this helps.

I know that we can export the contacts from outlook to a .csv file and push it to google and sync it from there, but this is not what I want. I have custom fields, as well as pictures for my contacts that won't get exported via .csv method. Besides, I want to keep my gmail and outlook contacts separate as I have millions of email contacts in gmail that I don't need in my phone contacts list.
Is there a way to directly sync contacts with Outlook with Atrix?
If you're using Exchange via ActiveSync, that would probably work. Touchdown is another alternative. But I don't believe there is a device <-> desktop sync available. If you don't have too many contacts (under 250) you can use Soocial to sync from Outlook to their server to your phone.
I was actually looking for a device <--> phone sync (it's a local outlook address book, not an exchange server) but I will check Soocial, thanks.
Easy and free.

I don't see the Atrix 4g on their selection of Motorola's?
IMHO, the best contact/calendar sync is Funambol. It's open source, with SyncML clients for just about every computer and mobile phone OS on the market. I use it to sync my contacts and calendar with Outlook on home and work PCs, and on two mobile phones, including Atrix.
The sync is done through a Funambol server. You can make your own private server with a web-connected PC or NAS, or you can use the MyFunambol cloud server.
Best of all, Funambol is FREE for individual users.
I sync outlook with my device using MyPhoneExplorer, and MyPhoneExplorer client on the ATrix. Both are free, and work great!!
Hope this helps.
How can these cloud services sync desktop or mobile Outlook contacts with Android if the fields and field names are different in two systems? Some exist in one and don't exist in the other... Google let's you name your phone numbers, Outlook does not....
I will 2nd MyPhoneExplorer is awesome free app. It gives you Wifi access to both phone memory and ext. sd card...so you can drag and drop files or browse.
You can sync to outlook, thunderbird, and others.

Myphoneexplorer was fine for a while then completely screwed my appointments. Would delete appoinments everytime I added a new one then copied all google appointment to outlook appointments! When i deleted them from outlook it then deleted them from google. Uninstalled.
Hi guys,
I have been used to using Windows MyPhone for doing a on-line backup of my contacts from WM 6.5. This application and Windows MyPhone service is gonna be removed, so I wanna ask, what I can use instead of that? I have never found some frontend application for WM 6.5, that supports SkyDrive.
Thanks for reply..
Use Live hotmail. When you sync with Windows Live, your mail/appointments/contacts will be sync.

This has always worked well for me. As far as i know there are two ways of doing it:
Use the Windows Live app, which will sync your contacts and email.
Use activesync which will backup tasks and calendar too, as well as push email (delivers email in real time, not limited to sending/receiving every x minutes. have a look at this page http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_...ar-and-contacts-with-exchange-activesync.aspx or google exchange activesync hotmail
note that syncing with windows live will also download all your previous contacts from the server.
(not to hijack, but quick question: there's no way to sync contacts and not show messenger contacts in your windows mobile contacts for instance, is there?)
I had much more luck syncing with Google Calendar than with Hotmail Calendar. And it wasn't for the lack of trying. Syncing with Hotmail is like syncing with Desktop Outlook. Great while it works but once it's broken, it's broken for good. On the contrary, in about a year of syncing with Google I haven't run into a problem yet that I wasn't able to resolve. I am syncing Calendar, Contacts and email using ActiveSync, and tasks using GogTasks freeware. Contacts sync especially has been flawless.
If you can live with Google's limitations (no category support unless you buy a 3rd party app, have to jump through hoops to sync Tasks), I suggest you try that.
I would like to sync Google account contacts and calendar events.
I am aware of the way of doing it using Corporate/Exchange sync. However this method only syncs My Contacts, and some apps don't work with such contacts very well. (These apps use Google contacts and events extra customized data which is not synced using exchange)
Is there an apk that can be installed to facilitate true Google Sync?
Any other way of achieving this?
TIA
Damn good question. Anyone have any answers?
1: in a pc, go to gmail, contacts, export in vcf and download to your computer, and send a email to yourself attaching the file
2: in bluestacks, open a internet explorer like dolphin or other, and go to your gmail account.
3: download the vcf file to bluestacks, and then execute that.
4: enjoy your contacts in your bluestacks and apps.

You don't need to email anything to yourself. Just create a folder named "Contacts" inside your documents folder and put your vcf file there. After that you only need to click "Import from SD" in the contacts import dialogue of Whatsapp app.
I admit that these are a way to get your contacts to Bluestacks but neither is an answer on how SYNC your contacts. Every time you edit your contacts on your phone you have to do this again. Not a good solution.
hello, how can I do the same process but, conversely, pass the bluestacks contacts to the cloud in Google contacts?
Hello, do you think there is an app that will let me sync photos from android phone, android tablet pc and win7? But with 2 features
- Synchronize automatically only new photos and if I move the photos into folders I update all
- What you save photos devices to view them offline.
Picasa is right for me?
Thank you.
Dropbox?
Auto uploads images from your phone, has Windows and Android clients that sync.
