adb-sync is a Python command-line tool that synchronizes files between a PC and an Android device over the Android Debug Bridge (ADB). It is officially deprecated in favor of the better-adb-sync rewrite.

Use cases

  • sync music files from my pc to my android phone over usb
  • push files to an android device without root using adb
  • mirror a folder between pc and android deleting removed files
  • pull files from an android device via command line
  • backup android sdcard contents to my computer

When to choose

  • you need simple one-way or two-way file sync with an Android device over ADB without root
  • you want a lightweight script instead of a FUSE filesystem or MTP tooling

When to avoid

  • starting a new project - the tool is deprecated and unmaintained
  • you need active support or bug fixes - use better-adb-sync instead
  • you prefer rsync over SSH on a rooted device or adbfs-style mounting
