[Confused with Sync Setups... How to re-establish backup folders?]

your support ticket was also replied. Copy-pasting reply here

hat's partly correct -  DEVICE that will generate the code will be the SOURCE and the device that will COPY the code is the DESTINATION. 
Let's see it on a few examples:
1) you add folder to Sync on PC, open its QR code and scan the code by the phone. Phone gets the access encoded in QR (read-write, read-only or owner)
2) you add folder to Sync on phone, get the key or link and send it to PC, enter that key/link to Sync on PC and PC gets the access encoded (same as above)
3) you add backup folder to Sync on phone and send key\link to PC. PC gets read-only access (that's how backup works). Perhaps, backup is what you're seeking for.

I said "partly correct" because if a device has Read-only (RO) access to a share it still can generate a link/key/QR code and share it further, but those will only bear Read-only access. I mean even though this device generated the cone, it cannot be the source as it has RO access itself. In Advanced folders only Owner can share the folder further with others. 

Hope this clarifies things for you and will help you to set up your shares. 

 

[Change location of synced folder (from internal to external hard drive)]

yeah, in Sync Free you need to remove and re-share it again. Your way is also good enough.

[Change location of synced folder (from internal to external hard drive)]

that's also an option.

Disconnect means :

hen disconnected the folder and recreated it

and what is the current state of the share? are peers connected? any details or screenshots of how it at least looks like now would be nice. 

[Inconsistent entry ... state created while parent deleted]

Restart Sync and let it reindex the folder. Also, revise IgnoreList - looks like node_module is not properly ignored.

were the shares located in SD://Android/data/com.resilio.sync ? If so, this is the reason most likely

[[Solved] Android 7.0 phone can't open destination folder]

to remove the share from Sync - tap on "i" icon - Disconnect. It will remain in Sync on desktop. Tap on the share again and reconnect it pointing to the wanted directory on SD card. 

[Latest desktop build 2.6.0]

IIRC, someone reported a similar problem - make sure that there's no security s/w or malware that might be locking the current exe, which prevents replacing it with new one, on Windows 10. Also, as update is working, watch %tmp% dir - the new exe is downloaded there before installing (but it's not named Resilio Exe, it gets a randomized name.

As for 'cannot get list of trackers" - restart Sync. If the problem remains, check this guide 

 

 

 

[Search not working in iOS]

search in subfolders also works. But note - it does not (and never did) search inside enclosed subfolders, it searches only on the current level. 

[I dont want the program to change my icons]

unfortunately, this behavior is encoded. On Windows though you can unregister ShellOverlay dlls from C:\ProgramData\Resilio Sync folder

[Is it normal that .sync gets filled with *.!sync files?]

It's normal that .!sync appear in .sync - these are files which are being synced right now. But it's not normal that they stuck - it means that files cannot be synced for a reason. You might want to contact support with more info about the encrypted device and debug logs from it. 
If it's an RPi or alike, you might have encountered this problem:

[Sync UI not showing (service on Windows)]

Just don't pay attention to those css and js, these are redundant legacy, and not related to webui being blank.

Sync on start reads the database  and loads them to RAM. the bigger database you have, and the slower disk is, the longer it takes. Thus you see no UI yet. 

[Not enough free space - When there is enough]

what is the path of CloudStation in Sync? 

[Search not working in iOS]

there's no any index file or something, search works fine on all our iOS devices. Can you please share a few screenshots illustrating the problem? 

[[Solved] Lag? when syncing a folder on SD Card]

Valentin,

I'm not sure I understand - you say you removed the card, and then disconnected the folder and created new one - where is it located now? 

What exactly "Sync now" you press? what folder you sync? please give more details about your setup. A few screenshots would help a lot.

Sync detects new files in two ways: file system notification and when doing periodic rescan of folder. Rescan takes place every 10 minutes by default or at Sync restart. Try restarting Sync. 

[[Solved] Android 7.0 phone can't open destination folder]

It's not permission, it's about the path to the directory -  Sync cannot find the directory by the path it has. Remove the share from Sync and add it back.

[THANK YOU! (Android 2.5.9)]

Thank you
as for 2) restart Sync. If the problem remains, please contact support with a few screenshots and debug logs from the phone.

[Share Selective Sync Files?]

yes. You can share a single file. Please see the user guide: https://help.resilio.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000401010-Sharing-single-file

[Mac - select syncing problem + question]

For missing context menu, please see this troubleshooting guide 
https://help.resilio.com/hc/en-us/articles/206214625-No-Sync-icons-in-the-file-browser-no-Sync-related-items-in-the-context-menu-on-Mac-Windows

Yes, you can select only some subfolders and have them synced. 

[Change location of synced folder (from internal to external hard drive)]

No, moving sync share to a different drive is not supported. You need to disconnect the folder from Sync and reconnect pointing it to a directory on external drive. 

[Listening Port not saving]

we'll check it in the lab. what exactly config you used ? use the attached one (change the port itself as you need). Put the config in service storage folder 

sync.conf

[Just to confirm (P2P Basics) when physically moving a folder]

technically it's possible - manually register service with sc
sc create resilio binpath= "\"C:\ProgramData\Resilio\Sync.exe\"  /SVC 

By default it's created as LocalSystem logon, so you will want to change it to the user, or add obj and password to command. See more in sc create help 

 

[Decrypt files manually per app]

it took a while, but it's there already in Sync v2.6.0. See the command line option here

[Do I need to delete .sync folders before switching from A... to D...?]

Even though it's not compulsory, better delete .sync before adding the folder back.  Before deleting make sure that .sync/Archive does not contain any important files.
