  1. you scan the QR code from desktop - you link phone TO desktop. Desktop takes over the phone and propagate its folders (and possibly other linked devices) to the phone. The phone just joins the desktop.

    If you want to link desktop TO the phone, you need to take the key from the phone: My devices -> link (at the upper right) -> three_dots_menu (at the upper right) -> show key. Copy and send it to desktop, paste to Sync there. desktop will link TO the phone. The phone will send all its folders (and possibly other linked devices) to the desktop.

  2. Have you also checked this thread?

    Sync can't just fall back to the last saved version of the identity when this happens

    well, actually it does. You can see two files sync.dat and sync.dat.old. The latter is the 'last saved version of the identity'. If both are corrupt and nonreadable, you're prompted for new identity. So you might want to backup these two somewhere

    resilio sync etc there do seem to be backups that Sync is creating

    I guess you're talking about sync-v2.X.X-######.backup folder? It's created after each update, just in case, but Sync does not look into it. 

  3. take notice of who you link to who, it matters here. I suppose that first you link your phone to some some deviceA, and then re-link it to deviceB instead of linking deviceB to mobile+deviceA pair. see here for details

    (1) appends cause, i guess, selected linked move is Synced on desktops, or your have Simple mode on the phone. Folders will be connected to the given default dir, where there's already a folder with same name. see here for details.

    Folder can have more peers that devices in "My devices" list. It's totally OK, depending on whether you link devices  or just share the folder. 

  4. Dear community,

    Sync 2.5.10 is now available. You can get it via direct links below or from official download page. Build is not yet available via auto-update.

    Direct Download Links:

    A list of what's new, improved, changed, and fixed in this version is available in the change log.

    OS X icon fix is not included here! 

  5. to sum up:
    1) some two files or more don't sync to the RO NAS
    2) RO NAS shows "indexing" all the time.

    - in share prefs on RO NAS enable "Overwrite any changed file" if it's not already enabled. 
    - the constant indexing you see might be periodic rescan. It starts every 10 minutes. Will take long  with that many files you have. 

    what are the symptoms of that loop? 

  6. unfortunately, no. there's no such option.

    To save to save space, you friend might want to use Selective Sync and download only the necessary files. Your friend will need Pro license for that feature. 
    Or you can make use of "Share files" option and only send wanted files to your friend. In this case you'll need Pro license. 

    In Free version you can copy the files, destined for your friend, to a separate directory and share it, so that they don't have to sync all other files. 

  7. Dear Alexander,

    Sorry to create the image of krivorukih pogromistov. Can you please contact support with full logs? Your case needs individual investigation. Thank you. 

    Please note, that 'identity lost' does not cause deletion of files from drive, if that's what you mean with "16 TB in 12 shares - lost". "identity lost" only causes shares removed from Sync, not files removed from drive. 

  8. 1) no, you can give the link to as many peers as you want. But same as with shared folders, only 100 peers can sync at a given moment. 101st will have to wait till anyone from frist 100 will go offline.
    2) yes, provided they can connect to each other
    3) No, unless they've received "share file" link, then see q2).

  9. Have you already seen suggestions form the Help center? 
    https://help.resilio.com/hc/en-us/articles/204762319-How-can-I-improve-data-transfer-sync-speed-

    https://help.resilio.com/hc/en-us/articles/205450195-Download-upload-speed-is-very-slow

    This behavior may indicate that the receiving side is not fast enough to process all the files that arrive, thus it suspends the transfer. Better send the debug logs from both peers to support.
