  1. Dear community,

    Sync 2.4 (Release Candidate 2) is now available. You can download it via direct link. The build is a second release candidate for 2.4 and is only available for community testing now. Help Center for 2.4 will be updated soon.

    Upgrade

    As starting from 2.4 Sync is released with Resilio brand, it is treated by OS as new application and will propose you to migrate all your settings from old BitTorrent Sync (settings are backed up during migration). Start your new Resilio Sync installer (or replace and start new binary in case if Linux installation) and follow upgrade instructions if any. It is recommended to keep old BitTorrent Sync shut down during upgrade.

    Upgrade from Resilio Sync RC1 is like regular Sync upgrade and does not require any additional actions.

    Downgrade

    Resilio Sync will make a backup copy of all your settings prior migration into "sync-v2.3.7-1471003319.backup"-like folder (version and timestamp may vary). If you decide to return to 2.3.*, you'll need to manually copy the content to your storage folder, remove Resilio Sync and be aware of next downgrade drawbacks:

    1. You'll downgrade to "Free" version and you'll have to re-apply license manually
    2. File association with license files *.btskey is broken so you'll need to apply license in BTSync UI
    3. Downgrade is not supported for Selective Sync folders (as all placeholder files are renamed to *.rsl*). If you downgrade and your Sync has Selective Sync folders, your files are going to be deleted on all peers.

    Changes in 2.4

    Features and improvements

    • Sync rebranding to Resilio & migration from BitTorrent Sync
    • Implemented sync schedule (Pro users only)
    • Add ability to add selective sync folder from config

    • Improve compatibility to OS X 10.12 beta
    • Give a warning when Sync goes out of memory
    • Indicate when Sync can't connect to relay server
    • Store all temp files in .sync folder
    • Prevent Sync from opening off-screen
    • Hide inactive peers for advanced folders
    • Allow Sync to listen all NICs when installed as service
    • Improve debugs upload
    • Minor UI improvements

    Fixes

  2. @JulianSatran I've opened a ticket on your behalf and attached your debugs there. Although, you did not attach a single log (sync.log file), so we won't be able to find out why peers do not see each other. Could you please?

    @stonerl What Sync shows you when you click the "x out of y" peers? It should show you the list of identities & peers connected. I strongly suspect that you reinstalled Sync on one of peers, and now that old instance always hanging in disconnected ones.

  3. Dear community,

    Sync 2.4 is now available. You can download it via direct link. The build is a release candidate for 2.4 and is only available for community testing now. Help Center for 2.4 will be updated soon.

    Upgrade

    As starting from 2.4 Sync is released with different brand, it is treated by OS as new application and will propose you to migrate all your settings from old BitTorrent Sync (settings are backed up during migration). Start your new Resilio Sync installer (or replace and start new binary in case if Linux installation) and follow upgrade instructions if any. It is recommended to keep old BitTorrent Sync shut down during upgrade.

  4. Sync is not intended to deliver folders in 2 locations on a single PC or sync data between same PC's folders, so there is no "out-of-the-box" solution here. Although, there is a trick you can do if you need this solution badly. You may run 2 instances of Sync on your PC. One instance a regular one, backing up data fo drive N:, while another one must be started with a config file which forces second instance to keep service files in some other location and can get its own set of folders, one of which can deliver backup to drive M:.

  5. @Ronery Nah, it's not identities, sorry. Identities only show up in Peer List for Advanced folders. BTW, the second screenshot shows both "This Machine" as offline. I wonder when you start it up - does both records become online on your another computer? Also, I guess that you don't have any other computers with the same name?
