After long journey of try and error, I think it is the problem of file version. I found that any files exist on device B while adding the sync folder F for 'read only' wont be indexed and wont be overwritten by syncing. A Q&A question:
What if files with same names are added from different computers?
• We give human action first priority and always consider it right. That's why if several files with
the same name are added on different devices, BitTorrent Sync will synchronize the file that
was the latest added to BitTorrent Sync even if it is not the newest version of the file itself.( But in our case, latest added cannot be sync back as the 'read only')
Previously added files will be deleted, but you can find them in .SyncTrash (if enabled in
folder preferences).
The same goes for modified files, as it suppose the files versions are newer when files are modifies on B, but it won't sync back to master device A, and it don't make sense to overwritten your newer version with the older version on A, so the file stop syncing unless it is removed on device B.
What I want is something that the master device has the executive power to overwrite any files on other devices of the same name, regardless of their version. So that the folders in synced devices always follow the files of the master folder. Are you expecting the same thing?

Hi,
I observe the same problem as you.

I hope it can help.
