:/ Sorry to hear that. Hope a BTS support person takes this up...

:/ not tried on Android since the 1.4 to 2.x change so can't comment other than, yes, this sounds the same sort of thing. I wish I knew why it worked the 2nd time. As I'd removed BTS totally from both Macs in the intervening time I dunno if the ver of BTS I redownloaded was newer or if it was because I had rebooted the Macs or what, it just started working. Agree that weird/different way of adding folder where you have to choose the parent is not particularly intuitive, at least once I added it at the wrong level as a result and ended up with a copy of a folder inside a copy of the folder... Yuk. On the upside, I like that shared folders are auto shown to me for easy adding (if I stick with the Pro ver) and since I got it working it's been silent and well behaved.

Hi RomanZ, I just re-did the above. It worked (the problem has gone). I have no idea why other than both Macs had been on 1.4 and had been reboot. Perhaps some process left running..? I did the same steps but all OK this time. Confused but happy.

Hi RomanZ, I may be able to do this one day but right now I am out of time (I spent around half a day trying lots of stuff and can't spend more now). BUT, I can explain easily. I have two identical folders on two Macs (as they used to be kept in sync with v1.4). I removed 1.4 and .sync hidden folders and installed 2.x. I set on one Mac a folder to shared. On the other Mac in BTS I choose the folder already auto added by the new v2 feature to get it added to this other Mac. BTS suggests I add it at the default BTS location, this is not where I want the files so I used the normal dialogue to tell it I want the folder sync'd to a spot on my Mac (the pre-existing folder from back in the 1.4 day, where there is a full copy of the files, ready to be kept in sync going forward, but now by v2 BTS). BTS pops up with "destination folder is not empty and files could be overwritten", so I click OK and BTS prompts "destination folder is not empty and files could be overwritten"—and we're stuck in a deadly embrace, me clicking OK and BTS telling me "destination folder is not empty and files could be overwritten". My only option: to click Cancel. Eventually I gave up and uninstalled BTS 2 and I am currently running with no BTS at all :/ If I do get time to do above I'll video it, but it's gonna just be what I listed there. If there's steps you want more info on before/if I do a vid then please just ask in case I can recall extra info, but I am pretty sure this was the sequence. Cheers, -Alan

Exactly the same. # 2 Macs # both were happily running 1.4.x # upgrade to 2.x # half a day wasted trying to simply sync 3 folders. Epic fail. Really sad this has happened with a product that felt like one of those "surely it can't be THIS good?" products :/ Anyway, micro rant aside, I really hope there will be an answer to this use case 101 (super simple) problem, thanks for any help you can provide.

Working now. Dunno why. Not done anything else, but left it for a while (and rebooted after an Apple update). BTS now listed in Sys Settings too of course. Anyway, all good and LOVING BTS, tks!

Hi RomanZ, Yes, all other apps are using NC AOK (Alfred, CodeKit, Transmit, DropBox, etc). I followed all the steps in the Growl removal already, followed as if I had had 1.3 and then also used the script as if I had 1.2 and also went into .Library to look for any files to do with Growl per their suggestions. But those steps have not helped :/ Thanks for any other suggestions

Thanks Romanz. The setting in BTS is already ticked. The Apple Sys Prefs page has not had the BTS client register itself (so I cannot click it's icon in Sys Prefs > Notifications to make any changes). It seems that's where the problem lies, BTS has not told Apple it is a supplier of notifications and please would Apple present them :/

This post touched on this topic. I do not have Growl or Hiss installed but Growl did get auto-installed by some app and so I had to later uninstall it. I installed Hiss at one time but have also uninstalled that in a bid to try and convince BTS to issue Notification Center alerts when a sync occurs, but not joy I see NO BTS Notification Center alerts. What can I do to fix this? Latest vers of OS X and BTS. Tks in advance for any pointers.
