How to sync whatsapp media for some conversations and not others? This does not work for past media but for any new media from the moment you set it up. Ok, this does not answer the question directly, but comments on a feature that might be helpful to the same audience. The generated text file will have the names of the files from each media that was in that group. This can be exported to many formats, but in this case I like to export to a folder in the sd card using the " Send to SD card" App, then move them to my computer.
To delete the duplicates try this commands (not tested):įOR /d /r %%f IN ("*.*") DO del ".\Fishing Club\%%f"īy last, you may also want to export the full conversation into a text file by entering the group then nativate to menu (⋮) > More > Export Conversation. To delete the duplicates (step 4) and also empty folders, you may just use this commands:. For the file export steps, use "Android File Transfer" app and connect to your phone via USB, activating file transfer mode In your Mac, then navigate to /Whatsapp folder and drag the entire Media folder to your machine. When you are done, you can just delete the last Media folder copy if you wish. You may repeat steps 2-4 if you want to do the same thing with other conversation groups and free more space in your phone. Now the "Fishing Group" folder has only the medias which are from that specific conversation group. Now that you have the two copies side-by-side, use a file comparison tool in your computer to delete from the "Fishing Group" folder all unnecessary files which are also in the Media folder.ĭone. Rename the Media folder in your machine to "Fishing Group", then repeat step one to backup a second copy of the entire Media folder again (but this time it won't have the media that is specific from that group, which you deleted in step two). For that, go to WhatsApp home screen, and navigate to the menu (⋮) > Settings > Data Storage > Manage Storage, find the group and delete all media from it. Delete from your phone the entire set of media from the "Fishing Group" at once using WhatsApp's "Manage Storage" feature. Export the entire Whatsapp/Media folder to your computer (this may take a while). Lets suppose you want the "Fishing Club" group media. So I have elaborated a tidy 4-step solution to collect all media from a specific conversation group into my computer. The "export conversation" only exports most recent media. WhatsApp doesn't want to give you this power (for legal reasons perhaps).
