  1. This will be a problem if your Internal storage is FAT32. If you use ext4 or exfat, you won't see this problem. But indeed, Btsync shall account for it.
  2. I'm not able to reproduce this anymore, it seems they do find themselves now. I will try again later but I did enable the tracker option now...
  3. Replying to my own question. I tested it with another windows PC at home. It does work, deleted directories came back instantly. So it seems feature not yet supported on Android
  4. My Ubuntu desktop (1.2.71) is synced with my Android (1.2.11). As the sync never seems to finish, I tried to debug it. Here's what I have in the webapp UI on Ubuntu: /home/myuser/mydocs 5.3 GB in 3589 files HomeSync 24.2 MB I started btsync with --nodaemon option to see what's going on in the logs. I see lots and lots of these, repeated approximately every 10 seconds: Incoming connection from 192.168.1.2:20181 192.168.1.2 is my android. Any idea what's going on? Is this normal behavior? PS. I stopped Btsync, removed the folder from Android, re-added the folder, now it ended the sync but the incoming connections continue. PS. I'm also sure the neverending sync will come back, as it always did in the past.
  5. Hi, I just synced my android with my ubuntu. Both using recent versions, 1.2.11 on Android and 1.2.71 on Ubuntu. The sync is read only, ie Android gets a copy of what's in the Ubuntu. (ubuntu --> android) When I delete a folder on Android, I expect that it gets re-transferred from Ubuntu to Android, so that I always have a consistent "read-only" copy of what what I have in Ubuntu. This is described in the 1.2.67 changelog: Changelog 1.2.67 (November 5, 2013) Desktop: - Restore modified files in read-only folder so why it doesn't work? Or is this feature only for desktop versions and do not cover the android one?
  6. Note that I had to install a python binding for gtk2 (python-gtk2) to have the indicator appear in the tray area.
  7. I have an Ubuntu 13.10 32bit with latest BTsync user packages. I also have an Android box (Samsung HomeSync) running latest btsync android client. They are both on 1gbps lan network. The two boxes do not detect each other even if I enable LAN Sync. They just sit & wait. When I look with avahi-browse -a , I can see other services being announced from both boxes. Such as Ubuntu announcing its SSH access, my lan printer (on wifi) announcing its web server, the android box's XBMC announcing its upnp control points, its web server, its HomeSync app etc, but nothing related to BtSync. So how does BTSync announce its presence in the network? Doesn't it use Avahi / Zeroconf? If it doesn't, what does it use and what shall be done (maybe on the router) to make them see each other. I read somewhere that it sends multicast packets at port 3838 but I do not find any detailed explanation on it and what shall be done with it. any insights?
  8. Btsync wont' help you with this. I recommend using a program like foldersync or WifiSync where you can define a "move" operation.
  9. yes, i was also having lots of WLAN wakes when using Dropbox. I disabled Dropbox Lan Sync and it improved a lot. Probably similar thing with BTSync.
  10. Hi, I've just one-way synced my picture files with a backup linux computer at home and an android tablet. The source is my laptop, others are read-only. On both destinations, I noticed that the file modification times are reset to the date and time of the sync, rather than keeping the original file dates. This is a problem since I can't understand anymore which files are old and which are new. I heard somewhere that Android does not let apps change the modification times of the files created unless you're root, but I thought it should be possible in Linux. How shall this behave?
  11. Hi, I'm using the package on my Ubuntu 13.04 and it looks OK. However, the sync folder I have with another (windows) computer at work never finishes. The Windows machine reports that sync is completed, but Ubuntu's web interface shows "882kb" UP in the WebUI and indicator icon. I don't know why I'm seeing this when everything seems to be completely synced from the logs in Windows machine. Also the "indicator icon" on my taskbar never stops turning. It goes on an on. I enabled debug logging and I can see the some repeated logs with same messages like ping, sync state finished, found peer, etc. Would this be related to the package or should I report it in the main forum?
  12. After giving it some more thought, I think the re-addition of folders shall be from some choice. There can be cases where: - the local read-only sync really don't want to keep all folders and files but only the ones he's interested, so he deletes the ones he does not need and these shall not be re-synced. - the local deleted files by accident or on purpose, but the himself or the administrator wants exact copy of the remote at all times. (think of it as an automated backup, the backup shall always be available with full content)
  13. I'm observing the same behavior. In fact I would expect BTsync to either add those locally deleted files or folders to the syncignore file, or just re-sync them right after they are deleted. This "right after" can also be when remote "source" side gets to its 10 minute cycle. A simple solution could be to add a "force re-sync" button/setting somewhere for that folder.
  14. This is great. I also checked when I was at work and I saw it was not synchronizing. However, kos13, I also saw that you commented that we can sync inside the company. So you mean this does not refer to any external tracker of some sort and can directly find sync computers? (since we can't reach any tracker DHT etc when at work)?
