Thanks for informing me. But in this particular case I would like no overwritting of the pre-existing files in the R/O folder (just because the R/W folder might happen to have the same files names in its folder). I like this default behaviour.

Ok. Interesting test results with no overriding: The read-only node has file-b The R/W folder shared the file-a with the read-only node Now, the read-only node has file-a and file-b Created file-b in R/W folder The R/O foder does not receive the file-b from the R/W folder. In other words, the R/O folder's file-b does not get overidden with the same file name from the R/W node (and that's good).

I hope not. But I'll test it.

Thanks for answering mu questions. So, if the read-write peer later adds a file with the same name and path as file-b, then file-b of the read-only node gets overwritten?

This is what I mean and in this order: B has file-b alreay. A gives B read-only secret for some files. B gives C this read-only secret Is file-b replicated from B to C?

Regarding scenario one, what would be the behaviour if the scenario is as follows: Scenario one: Some peers have files in them before they had any secret what so ever (" before they became read-only").

OK. What if B, C, D (all Read-Only) had files in them before they became Read-Only, or files added to them after they become Read-Only? Are those files are also supposed to be synched or is it that those files are ignored and only the files pulled from A are synced among them?

Node A is the office node. Node B, C and D are the home nodes (same subnet). Node A as the master node, gives Read-Only secret to Node B. Node B gives the same Read-Only secret to Node C and D. Node C and D are currently syncing with node B successfully. Question: Are node C and D supposed to sync with node A as well? The reason for asking is that the nodes C and D do not appear to sync with A !

Thanks nellie4568. In my use case, I have no control over node A (whereas B and C are mine). I can only sync in read-only mode with A. I can afford having my node B (a desktop) to sync with A. I have no issue my B and C nodes to sync in Read-Only mode to each other. The reason I do not want to C to sync with A is that C is a phone and, as I do not mind C to sync with B, I do not, however, want my phone ( C ) to sync constantly with A over internet considering the data to be synced in this case is over 20 GB.

Computer A has huge amount of data that computer B likes to be in sync with. Is it recommended to copy the whole data once (via copy command) from A to B (they are in the same subnet), to establish what can be considered a "base" and then let them start syncing thereafter. Does this speed up the initial synchronization? Thanks.

I see the "Store deleted files in SyncArchive" folder option on the Desktop version but not on Android app. Is it not supported for the mobile devices?

Thanks for your reply. I wish there was an option available to share the read-only data between B and C with a different secret. The whole point is that I do not want C sync with A.

Hello - I have the following use case with computer A, B and C (A and B are Windows computers and C is a mobile Android device): Computer A (Full Access) syncs with B. (B’s Read-Only folder is folder-b ) I would like the folder-b of computer B to sync computer C. Two Questions: 1. Looks like it is not possible for a Read-Only folder (folder-b ) to sync with another node using a different secret (rather than the Read-Only secret it's using with A). Is this correct? 2. What would happen if B shares its Read-Only secret with C? In this case, does C sync with B only (Read-Only mode) or C would sync with B and A (since it's the same secret)?

Thank you for replying.

A reply to my last question would be appreciated. Thanks.
