OK. Does the same thing happen for folders on your local hard disk? Or is it just the Nexus? > > Alternatively, I use SugarSync to sync some of my desktop files to my > laptop > > and tablet.

After exporting from Mnemogogo, please ensure that all files have been synchronized onto your tablet before staring Mnemododo. Before importing into Mnemogogo, please first quit Mnemododo and ensure that all files have synchronized onto your PC. There is a risk of data loss if the correct order is not observed! Tim.
