![]() Once logged in, click Add Cloud under My Cloud Devices and connect to your Google Drive and Dropbox. Next, set up a free account with MultCloud. Step 2: Set up Google DriveĪll you need to do in Google Drive is create a folder where you want your Notebooks to be stored. Then, press the Sync button to synchronize your notepads with Dropbox. Click on Dropbox and follow the instructions to bind your Dropbox account to your Boox. Then, on your Boox device, go to Setting -> Accounts. The first step is to set up a free account with Dropbox. The good thing is that when Boox syncs with Dropbox, it doesn’t use those pesky subfolders! Step 1: Set up Dropbox It may seem like a needless and complicated process but it works really well and I don’t know of a better method at the moment. However, if you’re like me, and don’t want the needless subfolders, carry on to the solution below… Solution using Dropbox and MultCloudĪ better solution for me involved setting up Dropbox as an intermediary for my files (because Boox allows syncing with this service) and then using a free third-party service called MultCloud to sync my Dropbox folder with a Google Drive folder. I accept that this is an issue that will probably only bother a minority of people, so if you don’t mind each notepad PDF being in a separate subfolder, I can highly recommend the DriveSync app. I just wanted my notepads shown as a list of PDFs without having to navigate through subfolders. For me, this was a little frustrating because it meant one extra click to access it on my Google Drive. So, for example, if you have a notepad called ‘Journal’, it will be saved as /Journal/Journal.pdf. However, the issue I had is that Boox devices generate PDF files using a structure where each notepad is in its own subfolder. I downloaded the free plugin, configured it, and it worked for the most part. The first attempt with AutoSync…Īfter doing a little research, I found that many people recommended Autosync/Drivesync by Metactrl. ![]() This is not a solution for syncing reading libraries, although I do plan to share my solution for this in another article. ![]() I want to be clear that the solution I will present is designed to make my notepads accessible as PDFs through Google Drive so I can view them from my phone and laptop. However, my workflows heavily depend on Google Drive, so I wanted all my files in one place. The Boox flavour of Android supports synchronisation with other cloud-based services, including Dropbox, OneNote, Youdao, Evernote and their own Boox cloud. I wanted a way to automatically sync my notepads with my Google Drive. I spent about half a day working out how to synchronise the notepads on my Boox Tab Ultra ( currently my favourite e-ink tablet) with Google Drive, so I wanted to share my solution here to save others a bit of time.Īlthough the configuration is a bit convoluted and ugly, it is free and it works. NOTE: This method is no longer necessary because Boox has now integrated Google Drive into the firmware (version 3.3.2). ![]()
