    I can't see how I'll get "Camera backup" to automatically upload pictures toe the path I've shared from the server,

    Camera backup - is a different share. You cannot get it to upload files to an already configured share! 

    You need to do this: 
    enable backup on the phone }
    select to share it and send the link (or key) to desktop
    paste the link to Sync there and select the location for the share. 

     

  2. @hexcalibr received your support request.

    Update: in this case the problem was in two different processes running on one machine. Not a bug, but simply a confusion between these two. 

     

    For all others who "have exact same issue":
    1) check that you indeed have only 1 sync process especially on a linux. Check that Sync uses the same storage folder each time you start it. Covers >50% of reports.
    2) check that you quit Sync correctly and give it time to save settings. Especially if you've just made some changes to identity - added advanced folders, linked devices, applied license, etc. Especially if you have a lot of sync shares with big database - shutting down will take a while. Don't  do kill -9 or just press power button and don't 'shut down anyway' on windows.  Covers ~45% of reports.
    3) Check that you're on today's latest Sync version. Some old version indeed had troubles with saving settings in some cases, all of them are addressed. Covers around 3% of reports.
    4) Some other undiscovered issue. With these, please contact support directly, send the debug logs to them and some details about your setup - if there's anything special about it, the pattern for the problem, etc. Thank you.

    But what about the Camera Backup, won't that function only work if linked to the host server?

    It will function like a regular Sync share - you can automatically push it to a linked device, or share the key with a non-linked remote device.

    function, where you can create individual folders and only assign them to certain devices?

    Isn't it already there? You add the folder to Sync and give the key to certain devices.

  4. That's right, devices linked with one identity (they show up in "my devices" and have the same fingerprint), they all get access to each other's shares automatically. It means that if you add a folder to Sync on one of them, it'll appear in Sync on others (not necessary to actually sync files there). Same with removal. 

    If you don't want this behavior, don't link devices, but instead share each folder individually. Now you need to unlink phone from NAS: on phone go to My devices -> this device -> Unlink, create separate identity for it
