  1. We know the Cubby story, as well as Mesh story. We see SyncApp as long term product, invest a lot of development resources, so we don't want to screw it by some "smart" decision.

    But let me tell you one thing, that we know for sure. Beauty of real p2p solution, in opposed to marketed p2p solution (you name the company that claims they have p2p), is that we can't control it. If tomorrow we want to charge you $100 for 10Kb transferred, will stop everything related to the app or will try to force you not to use the SyncApp, we just physically can't achieve that.

    SyncApp will work tomorrow exactly like it works today, no matter what we will do. And it will work exactly like today even 10 years from now, of course, if we will have computers in future :)

  2. Hey,

    thanks for the invitation.

    Installed it on Win 7 x64 Ultimate and Windows Server 2012 Datacenter.

    Both clients are running fine so far, encountered no issues.

    Things that I've noticed:

    - The client that is currently receiving files popups the tray info icon MUCH too often. Maybe add options to control this behavior?

    Two of them should be:

    a.) Disable popups completely

    b.) Only show a popup when the transfer queue is empty (finished after transferring all current files

    Notifications are not optimal. You have the option a) just go to Preferences and turn off notifications.

    - Transfer speed

    Local lan, no internet sync. Copying one large file (850 MB) via SMB takes 8 seconds. Both clients are connected via a 1GBit Network and their SSDs are not the limiting factor :)

    Syncapp needs 35 seconds (roughly 24MB / sec) to do the same.

    Any chance that this can be improved further?

    This is the next major thing we will improve. This is not easy, since sync on LAN and Internet is kind of different, but we will definitely improve that.

    - .SyncTrash folder

    Would it be possible to use a global one, instead of one for each synched dir?

    Otherwise it would be nice if we could just point to a folder where the deleted files are stored.

    This is our first version of Trash, so you could expect improvements here. Using global one will not work, because of removable or encrypted folders. Plus it won't work with versioning. We will have some improvements in UI, something like "If you have 1Gb in Trash, we will offer to clean it"

    - .SyncID

    I'm not a big fan of files that are created through sync applications (quite a few do that) in synched folders. Would it be possible to store these contents in a portable database (sqlite) or maybe in an .xml file instead? Ofc this should be placed in the data folder of Syncapp (currently C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\SyncApp\) instead.

    We got this request. It contradicts with removable, encrypted drives, so it looks like this should be configurable.

    One rather major feature request:

    - A portable version (Windows OS)!

    Exactly! Already working on that. However, to make things clear, first we want to make core bug-free and then port it to mobiles. Mobiles are our highest priority.

    The current version does make only a few registry (thanks for that^^) so it shouldn't be too hard to store them in a .config file (ofc creating file associations for .btsearch | .torrent should be disabled in that case). Finally all the setting should be stored in a subdir of the SyncApp folder, instead of the current user's dir.

    See above.

    So much for now, thanks alot for the new version!

    Thank you for your feedback.
