To synchronize files from the computer to a Microsoft Windows CE device, you must save files in the default folder "%CE device% Synchronized Files."

MORE INFORMATION

To synchronize files from the computer to a Windows CE device, follow these steps:
  1. In Activesync, select "Files" to place a folder named "%CE device% Synchronized Files" on the computer desktop.
  2. Place the files to be synchronized in the "%CE device% Synchronized Files" folder. The files are then copied to the My Documents\Synchronized Files folder on the CE Device.
If synchronization does not occur, you must make sure that a duplicate folder does not exist on the computer, and that you have closed the "%CE device% Synchronized Files" folder on the device.
