There's no real "workaround" as Sync is fundamentally designed to synchronize folders between devices. It's not possible to sync two folders locally on the same device.

Please see Increasing Debug Log size A larger log size will mean the log gets rotated less frequently ...because that would mean that Sync had to retain logs for an unlimited number of days/weeks/years, etc - not very practical!

You'll need to run Sync with a config file, to enable it to listen on addresses other than 127.0.0.1. For details of how to run Sync with a config file on Windows, please see this article, where you'll also find a sample config file. The key part you'll need to specify in your config file is: "webui" : { "listen" : "0.0.0.0:8888" .... } (0.0.0.0 instructs Sync to accept connections to the UI from any IP address)

Whilst there is an API available for Sync (see: http://getsync.com/api), it isn't presently available for mobile devices. Therefore, your users would need to install the Sync Android app on their devices, and you would also need to install Sync in your AWS

You cannot link devices in the "free" edition of Sync. This is only available in Sync Pro. Please see the following Help Center article: http://help.getsync.com/hc/en-us/articles/205457815-Sync-Private-Identity-Linking-My-Devices

Yes, running as a Windows service will mean that Sync starts once Windows starts (i.e. it won't wait until you login before starting) Running as a "service" isn't natively available in the Mac edition of Sync

The exe file you downloaded was "BTSync-1.4.111.exe", yet your screenshot shows "BTSync.exe" - therefore, please can you clarify whether your issue relates to the installing Sync 1.4 (BTSync-1.4.111.exe), or whether you've installed Sync 1.4, and your issue relates to running Sync 1.4 (BTSync.exe)?

Basically, installing Sync as a service will allow you to continue syncing when you're "logged off" (but your computer remains on). If you install Sync without the service component, syncing will only occur when you're actually logged in to your Windows account.

No, I'm not talking about ":Zone.Identified ADS". It's normal (blame Microsoft!) for the behavior you described when the .exe file you've downloaded hasn't been "unblocked" - when you run it, nothing happens, no warning - nothing! However, once you "unblock" the file on your Win2K3 as outlined (Right click the .exe file, select "Properties" and click the "Unblock" button): ..you'll then be able to execute the .exe file as normal.

Right-click the file, go to Properties -> Unblock (Win2k3 blocks running of unknown downloaded .exe's by default - you'll need to unblock it first) Sync 1.3 (and earlier) used standard windows-based dialogs/forms. For Sync 1.4, the UI has become HTML based. If you have IE9 (or later) installed, you can click Sync's tray icon as normal, and the HTML UI will open in a dedicated window. Because you can't install IE9 on win2k3, this option is not available, and you can instead access sync's UI via http://127.0.0.1:8888 through Firefox/Chrome instead No, Sync exits because you've not unblocked the exe

Sync 1.4 win run on Win2k3, however the UI will only be accessible via a modern web browser (Sync 1.4 required IE9+, which isn't available on 2k3, so you'll need Firefox/Chrome, etc) Sync 1.4 may be obtained via the links in this topic.

The /help command line switch isn't applicable on Windows. For a list of command line switches for Sync on windows, please see this article in the Sync Help Center

Thanks for updating, l1nu5_ - marking topic "solved"

If you make changes on a RO node, in order to bring that node back in alignment with its "master", you'll need to select the "Overwrite any changed files" option in the RO folder's preferences.

The "Unknown result code (UPnP protocol violation?)" message whilst trying to map a port would indicate an issue with your router. I'd suggest manually opening a port on your router for Sync to use, and then specify this port in sync's configuration file (rather than using uPnP to automatically open/map a port on your router). i.e. set "use_upnp" to "false", and "listening_port" to the port number you've manually opened on your router.

Is this happening for all files, regardless of their size, or only for files of certain sizes?

.bts are "placeholder" files - they're present when you have "selective sync" enabled. Disabling selective sync will mean that .bts files are not created If you're syncing between two devices (that are setup as a two-way sync), then if you remove files from one, they will then be removed (or moved to .sync\Archive) on the other

By "torrent" I assume you mean "file", and by "send" I assume you mean "sync"? Basically, both you and your "specific person" will need to install Sync, then you would add the folder containing the file(s) you wish to sync, and give the key/link for that folder (generated by Sync) to the other person, who will enter that key/link into their copy of Sync, and your file(s) will then sync to their device. Try the "Getting Started" section of the Sync Help Center for mode help getting started with Sync

So your screenshot indicates that you're syncing around 712GB of data - However, the amount of memory consumed by Sync is actually determined by the total number (rather than the total size) of the files you're syncing. Please bear in mind that Sync requires approx 0.8-1.5Kb of memory per file it's monitoring (the exact amount depends upon the actual length of the filename/path)

Yes, Sync must be running on both devices for them to sync

By "physically running" I mean that Sync has to be installed and running on the device. It's not enough to have the device "on" if Sync itself isn't also running

sync-help.bittorrent.com relates to Sync 1.4, and is not applicable to Sync 2.x. Please use help.getsync.com instead. You'll need to either install Sync as a Windows service is you want to be able to access the UI in your browser, or you'll need to run the executable with the /WEBURL command line switch. Please see: http://help.getsync.com/hc/en-us/articles/205506359-Is-there-a-Command-Line-Interface-CLI-for-Sync-2-x-on-Windows-

Sync has to be physically running on each device you're syncing between, but the UI itself doesn't have to be open for syncing to occur
