ravisorg,
Do you have auto backup enabled? Check it in Sync settings -> Camera backup.
Yes, auto backup is what I'm referring to in this thread. I've never used the manual sync method (to transfer individual files) on my iPhone.

Are there any 'edited' photos in your Camera Roll? I mean edited with standard tools (filters, cropping, rotation, etc). These will not sync.
You mean the edits won't sync, but the original image does? Yes I've seen that happen, where I sync, then crop, then sync again but the cropped image does not show up on the desktop (the original image remains). BT Sync backs up each image once I believe.
That's fine, but that wasn't what I was seeing. There were new photos taken with the camera app that hadn't been touched that were not syncing.

Could you please take a look at your desktop and check 2 things:
1. What traffic desktop shows? Are files actually appear on the desktop?
2. How your iPhone looks like on the "Devices" tab? Is there a cloud icon indicating that connection went thru the relay server?
Because I was experiencing the same issue let me answer some of those:
1) Yes, files show up on the desktop. Very slowly.
2) No cloud icons, just the two arrows that (I assume) denote a direct connection
In my case sync used to work fine. I'd get around 2MB/sec transfer rate normally. Then one day it just dropped to ~1KB. No apparent reason, nothing changed that I know of.Also in my case both the phone and the desktop are on the same local network.
Things I tried:
- Restarting BT Sync
- Killing BT Sync on the phone and restarting it- Rebooting phone- Removing the folder from BT Sync desktop, and creating a new one (new folder, same secret)- Rebooting desktopWhat finally worked:
- Deleting BT Sync from my phone and re-installing it
This ended up creating a new secret as well. I'm wondering if I had just created a new secret instead of re-installing if that would have fixed it. If it happens again I'll try that, or perhaps someone else this is happening to wants to try it.
Quick add-on to that. Before I noticed that the bandwidth had dropped dramatically, I noticed it wasn't syncing some files. Normally it's very reliable (let it backup, everything appears on my desktop). This time everything appeared except for a few images which refused to appear on my desktop no matter how many times the backup claimed it was complete. Might be completely unrelated, or maybe not.

Ok, I've found the issue for one of the problems - the random images not backing up. It's the same "conflicting filename" bug (#8085) I reported back in February. Basically I've taken enough photos (again) that the numbers have cycled around, and BT Sync will only backup each filename once.
For example on my phone at the moment:
