## FAQ

16

### What is synchronized
17
+
***Images, video, screenshots**
18
+
* If they are displayed in your gallery, they will be synchronized. This includes images and videos in `DCIM/`, `Pictures/`, `Movies/` and `Download/`
19
+
* If they are only available in a specific app but not in gallery, they won't be synchronized
20
+
* Please note that messaging apps (messages, whatsapp, signal, etc.) generally offer you the choice between saving files in your gallery (in such case they will be synchronized) or not
21
+
***Audio, music**
22
+
* All audio files that are visible in `Alarms/`, `Audiobooks/`, `Music/`, `Notifications/`, `Podcasts/`, `Ringtones/` and `Recordings/` will be synchronized
23
+
* Beware that google's own voice recorder stores its files privately and offer its own cloud synchronization. They won't be synchronized by EasySync
24
+
***Downloaded files**
25
+
* All downloaded files in `Download/` will be synchronized, whether they are pdf, epubs, documents, images, etc.
26
+

### Can I choose what is synchronized

### I am a nextcloud user. Does this replace nextcloud app?
41
+
When you configure EasySync you select a specific folder on your DAV server. This folder will be fully synced with your phone.
42
+
43
+
If you want to access files on your DAV server that are outside that specific folder, then you still need nextcloud app. Otherwise it is probably not necessary.

### Changes on android device side are not immediately reflected
46
+
1. Please be sure to disable battery optimization permission (it will be shown on home screen if required). Disabling battery optimization will not drain your battery. It will just enable immediate sync of file changes.
47
+
2. You may also enable `Sync on cellular` and/or `Sync on battery` in `Synchronization settings` (available from home screen).

### Changes on DAV side are not immediately reflected
50
+
In order to preserve battery we cannot detect quickly DAV changes. If you need immediate sync use "Sync now" button on home screen.
