  3. What To Expect Next From Sync

    in Sync General Discussion

    Posted

    $40/year? Sorry, but the Pro version had better come with some amazing features then to justify the subscription price considering you aren't really hosting the data for us. Your selling point comparing your service to Dropbox and others neglects one point, they all have an off-site (from my standpoint) service that also has a copy of my data. Should all my servers melt down, I can still retrieve a copy from their service. That justifies the yearly subscription model, housing a copy of my data.

     

    I would gladly pay $40 once and be done with it for your software, like a traditional software package, and pay a nominal fee for upgrades if/when I need them.

     

    I'll wait and see what the final products, and pricing, are, this is just by two bits for now.

    Good luck finding any competing enterprise products that offer unlimited storage and >1M file support for $40/year.

     

    Also, you do realize you can roll your own offsite backup with BTS, right? All it takes is having a few peers located elsewhere.

  4. What To Expect Next From Sync

    Along with this question, I am curious what paid-for plan will be most like the beta that I have been using for so long for free....And isn't is possible for those of us who already have the beta running to just keep it as-is indefinitely? I do alot of testing for many software developers, and this would be the first time that I was expected to pay anything for a product that I tested. I usually offer to pay something anyway to show support and faith in a product, but this has always been voluntary.

    Optimistically, I'd assume (note the italics) that the existing feature set and limits (10^6 files total/BTS instance) would continue to be free. However, users who need Enterprise IT file replication and more granular folder access control would need the Pro version.

     

    If they start charging for the existing free feature set I'd have to move to SyncThing, as I've moved from Windows Live Mesh (deprecated/shut down) -> Cubby ($90/year for previously free features) -> BitTorrent Sync (???) in the past.

  6. Blank Gui After Update To 1.4

    in Sync Troubleshooting

    Posted

    Problem fixed in the 1.4.93 build. I'd been using TeamViewer to remotely log in to the PC I was having the issues on, and only just realized that sometimes TeamViewer doesn't render remote browser windows correctly. When I logged into the PC directly after the latest update I saw that there was no issue.

     

    Thanks all for your help and keep up the good work BT Team :)

    Could you please pack your whole storage folder (%appdata%\BitTorrent Sync)? Please exclude the sync.dat and sync.dat.old from the archive and send it to me. Note that this one goes for RomanZ regarding Blank UI.

    Already did that. I've PMed you the link to the Zendesk support request, let me know if you got it. Thanks!

    I know about settings.dat , but I don't know where to find a text format config file.  This would be invaluable, as it is an artifact I could put into source control, and be able to quickly deploy btsync on new installs.

    AFAIK they're working on an enterprise version, which hopefully/presumably would have this feature.

    Observe:

    This happens in Firefox too, actually. What you're observing is the browser doing exactly what the MS login page tells it to.

    Same problem here on fully patched Windows 8.1 x64 running IE 11. I've already tried the Registry .css fix (actually I already had the necessary entry) and deleting my settings.dat and settings.old.dat files. None of the above work. Any ideas?

     

     

    PS: Also, you guys are doing a good job and all, but could we have a lil more QA on BT's side? I'm dead scared of updates since 1.4 because about 1 in 3 of them absolutely hose core functionality. I can understand folder sharing being wonky, but dead UIs and hosed syncing (both of which I've experienced in various builds since 1.4) are like having a car that won't drive.

  12. Android (Kitkat): Ability To Delete Files From Within The App

    in Feature Requests

    Posted

    I think by now most KitKat BitTorrent Sync (BTS) users are aware of the OS preventing apps from modifying files or folders on SD cards that don't specifically belong to them. Because the BTS Android app lacks file management features, it's pretty much impossible to modify any its SD card folder from the (non-rooted) Android device itself, as file managers don't have necessary permissions.

     

    Therefore, I'm requesting that deletion or at least basic file management features be added to BTS.
