vadimt,thank you for your response. I completely forgot to mention above that I am using Linux (Archlinux). What do you mean by adding /lacie/PP as a shared folder ? Is it a Windows thing ? I tried adding /Verbatim/P2P on my laptop, hoping that somehow through the Secret it would figure out how to connect both, probably stupid of me. Curiously it started copying two directories to the laptop, reverting to the phrase Bittorrent Sync cannot identify the destination folderon the "Size" column. Thanks again, Mektub
