I use the AFT for my iTab2 but it starts some funky Goog updater that 
I'm not enchanted by. I found some links on the net on how to diss it

The Xperia M4 OTOH have the "Sony Bridge" bundled with it and that syncs 
media and transfers files just dandy fine.

I use "SyncMate" to sync calendars. YMMV with that one...
