MobileSheets Forums

I have a Windows 11 Pro PC and 2 Android tablets. I get music PDFs from the college via Google Drive. 

I currently copy these PDFs from Google Drive into a OneDrive folder called MobileSheetsSync. 

I annotate these OneDrive PDFs during rehearsals using one of the Android tablets (mainly with highlighting). 

I would like those annotations to be synchronised between the 2 Android tablets (I use a big tablet for performance putting it on a music stand and a smaller tablet when I'm holding it during rehearsals) and the Windows PC. 

What is the best way to set this up?

So far I have bought an Android and a PC licence and I have set the 3 devices up and they can all see the OneDrive folder on the PC. 

I have annotated some of the PDFs using one of the Android tablets and the PDFs are always recalled with the annotations on that Android tablet but the annotations don't sync to the other Android tablet nor to the Windows PC so I am doing something wrong and I would be grateful for any help.

Maybe somebody can help you out how to do that with the MS sync feature.

As I wrote in other threads I'm doing it in my own way (I also have Android and Winows PC; I dropped iOS after a few years of using that because of unexpected reliability and the file restrictions).

In short: I keep the files in the MS folders absolutely identical and synchronized with some tools and manage my files myself (MS Setting). I don't change the content in the folders much any more but if I do so on one device I have that automatically synced. If I annotate something or make changes of the database from within on one device I see to it that I copy/sync the mobilsheets.db as soon as I can to the other devices (my favourite tool for that currently is Blip). This way I transfer all the annotations etc. to the other devices and it works very well if the files in the folders are identical and in sync.

Try it out if you don't get the MS sync working to your liking.
