I have two computers syncing as read-write, and a 3rd computer syncing the same share but as read-only. For some reason, the read-only computer stopped syncing changes. For a few days now the other two computers look like the picture below. And all the while, it does not sync and does not even say any files are syncing. The read-only computer is online and says all synced, but the share is smaller by about 600MB. I've tried syncing from LAN and over the internet from a remote location, but neither seems to make a difference. Any ideas why? I'm wondering if the files were edited on the read-only PC. What is the protocol in that case? Does BTSync not overwrite changes made to a read-only share? Does this problem indicate a conflict between the revisions to files on the different PCs? Or what might cause this? Thanks! Nick

Aha! I finally looked at disk access in Resource Manager and discovered it's a file in my PortableApps version of Chrome. Chrome must be running on the other computer the folder is syncing to. Now to figure out why BTSync is using 300MB of RAM... But if that isn't related, maybe I'll look elsewhere for an answer for that.

For some reason this file is always syncing. Every few seconds it pops up and syncs. Any idea what it is? I've tried to search all of the synced folders and didn't find a file called "index" so I'm baffled. I'm not sure if it's related, but BTSync is consistently using about 300mb of ram. Though I don't know what's normal for the program, but that seemed like a lot. Granted, I'm have several folders synced totaling roughly 300GB, so that might be the cause for high resources? Any ideas?
