[If You Have Sync Issue]

Hi all,

thanks a lot for developing this great app!

I have an issue with SyncApp.

 

Title: Do not consider all data in not accessible location as deleted and do not delete files on all synced devices

Ok, files are moved to the .SyncArchive, but still this is not exactly the behaviour one would expect:-)

[If You Have Sync Issue]

Hi all,

thanks a lot for developing this great app!

I have an issue with SyncApp.

 

Title: Do not consider all data in not accessible location as deleted and do not delete files on all synced devices

 

 

Here is a user story if you prefer that:

As a user who has a synced folder on an external drive I would like sync to be stopped for that folder if device is removed so that I do not loose my data on all other devices.

 

This can be quite a big issue. I was only able to restore my data from the external drive when I connected it again. I was lucky that I still had it.

 

How to reproduce:

Precodition:

1. Synced folder is located on device Alpha on a hard drive

2. Synced folder is located on device Beta on an EXTERNAL hard drive

3. Devices have sync app running

3. Folders are completely synced using a secret (not the read-only one)

Action:

1. Remove the external hard drive from the device Beta

Expected:

1. Folder on device Beta is marked as not accessible

2. Sync is stopped for the folder on device Beta

3. Sync is stopped for this folder on device Alpha - just like if device Beta went offline

Observed:

1. Folder on device Beta is marked as not accessible(OK)

2. Folder is cleared on device Alpha. Logs says "Beta removed file XXX". Data is lost(NOK)

 

I think this must be quite easy to reproduce.

 

Hope this helps.
