One feature we LOVE about Dropbox and miss on BTSync is the ability to share a link to a single file that a user (not equipped with Dropbox) could open in their browser. I'm guessing your architecture makes this very difficult, even though you are providing a http server - I'm guessing that while I can access a client via http at for example http://192.168.1.34:8888/gui/ that this is not being exposed through UPnP/IGD and that therefore it would be hard to add the ability to retrieve files from its http server (in a similar way to Dropbox). Such exposure would be useful in other respects - for example to allow us to administer a BTSync client remotely, (for example to add a new share to a client that sits on a LAN at a different location, or to login and pick up the secret of a new share that I want to add to my laptop.) Blue sky-ing, the ideal feature would be a URL that resolved to any of a multiple of BTSynced devices depending on which was online at the time :-)

I have exactly the same problem. I see the question asked multiple times in these forums with no clear answer, In my case its a Mac (1.3.106) talking to Raspberry (1.2.67) If I create a file on the Raspberry it ends up on the Mac; If I create a file on the Mac it doesn't get to the Raspberry. btsync is running with sudo on the Raspberry. The iconv check above doesnt show any problems, nor would I expect them - its my Mac desktop Both these directories sync just fine with another Mac. The Raspberry is putting on a USB drive formatted with ext4 as recommended here ... http://jack.minardi.org/raspberry_pi/replace-dropbox-with-bittorrent-sync-and-a-raspberry-pi/ In fact, I followed those instructions exactly.
