So you want a proper versioning solution with BTS? I definitely can see your benefit of it but I don't see it coming since even Dropbox doesn't support something like this. They have to deal with file-locks also and I guess the easiest way to do this is just close the file and wait till sync is done and then reopen it..

And try to think from the side of BTS: the client has to check EVERY second or even less if any bit of the hashed files has changed and that consumes a lot of compute power and if you work on a mobile client without the power cord plugged in.. well that's a short business day. At the moment the cycle is at 10min default if I'm not wrong and that's just the time where the files are being checked. But every 5 seconds your client makes a connection to r.usyncapp.com (yeah obviously relay servers), t.usyncapp.com (which are some amazon cloud servers where they are buying cumpute time I guess) and usyncapp.com (update server?! it's port 80 so I guess thats just for the update request for a new BTS version) and checks for your any other information there so that's battery consuming as well

and I think it's not that smart to have an always-on connection to your shares.

It's diffrent if you do that in a browser where you can end the connection right away when you're done editing..

I'm not sure of the proper term for this. Actually, Dropbox does this. Everytime I save my excel and even if the file is still open, Dropbox syncs immediately. Well, I've moved back to Dropbox until this feature is supported in BTS (hopefully).

You don't understand how BTS works. BTS is not a service where you can edit a file with muliple users like Google Docs or so..

BTS locks the file while you edit it on all devices you try to access it from. I don't think this is possible.

I am not editing a file with multiple users. I only have the file open in one place, but I need it to sync immediately after it is saved (while the file is still open for further editting...for mostly likely a whole day).

 

Example:

1. I open an excel on a work PC and add stuff in, then save. (Excel file is still open, so BTS can't sync).

2. Several minutes later, I add new stuff in and save. (Excel file is still open, so BTS can't sync).

3. An hour pass, I add new stuff in and save. (Excel file is still open, so BTS can't sync).

4. Power outage and the work PC shutdown, so BTS can't sync.

 

Result: The excel on my laptop doesnt have the new data from the work PC excel because BTS can't sync it while it is still open (in steps 1-3 above). Thus I cannot continue my work on the excel.

Please make file syncs immediately when it is (re)saved even if the file is still open. For example, I have an excel open and when I save, it isn't syncing at all unless I close the file. That is so annoying. Dropbox doesn't do this and syncs immediately when the file is resaved and still open.
