adb-sync is a command-line utility designed to synchronize files between a PC and an Android device over the Android Debug Bridge (ADB). It simplifies the process of transferring and mirroring directories without requiring root access or complex configuration. By comparing file states between the host and the device, adb-sync efficiently updates only changed files, reducing transfer time and bandwidth usage. The tool also supports reverse synchronization, allowing users to copy data from an Android device back to their PC. While this project has been deprecated in favor of better-adb-sync, it remains a lightweight and effective option for managing file transfers and backups over USB debugging connections.
