Re: Source and Destination

SyncBackTouch is in fact bi-directional if the device supports that (you can, for example, in some Android versions, use it to back up vital PC-based documents to the optional SD card in your phone, as a sort of flash-drive that you generally always have with you). Using Touch on another PC (Windows or Mac) potentially sends data in both directions. But your usage (backing up phone user-data, e.g. photos) is probably the most common.

Sounds like you have tried to convert a normal (disk<>disk) profile into a Touch profile, and for complex reasons to do with 'handedness' in code, Touch counts as always-Destination ('right') if you convert a 'normal' profile manually. You can still use that, but you'd need to manually reverse the data flow via Decisions-Files

It's probably best if you start again, make a new profile from scratch using the wizard and select SyncBackTouch as your Source. You should find the wizard reverses the display/naming of various things for you so that the orientation 'looks' correct in the result.

(Note: the actual data-flow is still reversed from 'normal', if you check, but it's correctly set to copy from your phone to PC for a Backup or Mirror where you selected Touch as Source in the wizard - it's just that 'correct' in this case means from right-phone to left-PC...)
