  3. Change Key For Shared Folder

    in Sync Troubleshooting

    Posted

    If you do as you suggest and setup one machine with the old key and then delete everything, it will, by default, only "move" corresponding files on other devices to the .sync\Archive folder on those devices rather than delete them outright, so other users would still be able to retrieve the "deleted" files from their archives for a limited time (usually 30 days after deletion)

     

    What happens if another device connects with the key later on, after I deleted all files? In that case the deleted files from the .sync/Archive will not be transferred, right?

    Thanks for your quick reply, GreatMarko! As I shared the now insecure key with 20+ users, I can not easily ensure, everyone changes the key.

     

    Can I remotely wipe all shared files for the old key? I could set up one machine, that uses the old key, is always online, and I would delete all files within the synched folder.

     

    Thanks, again!

    I am sharing a folder with BitTorrent Sync on multiple machines. I fear someone unauthorized got access to the key. What am I supposed to do?

     

    I could change the key (formerly known as secret). 

    (Open Folder Info => “Full access secret” => New)

     

    How can I ensure, the old key does not work any longer?

    What happens, when I change the key on one device on other devices, that use the older key?
     

    Thanks!

    1. Versioning

    2. Conflict handling

    3. make use of OS X build-in "Notification Center" for Sync Notifications

    4. OS X Finder integration: little file badges (synced, in process, failed) and custom sync Folder-Icons

    5. Make some statement regarding your business-case /intentions.

    6. Keep it clean-looking and efficient ;)

    Thanks for your work!

     

    Very much agreed.

    1 Conflict resolution: has to be absolutely top of the list for a functional sync app!

     

    Same for me! .SyncArchive is a first step.
