[Updating Bittorrent Sync On A Drobo5N]

The version of sync running on my Drobo5N reports itself as version 2.0.138 (36) and according to the Drobo5N page (http://help.getsync.com/hc/en-us/articles/205504969) the latest version is 2.3.0. I've been trying to update the client so that I can try out the encrypted folders however I'm having problems updating the version.

 

In the DroboApps section of my Drobo Dashboard I click the "Update" link for BitTorrent sync and it tells me that it's updating, after a while the updating disappears however the version of BitTorrent Sync running my my Drobo5N is still 2.0.138 and the link to Update is still present. If I click update again then the same happens, and the version is not updated. I've tried stopping the processes, then updating, and finally restarting. Whatever I seem to do Im, still at version 2.0.138.

 

I've also tried updating the old way, i.e. mounting the DroboApps share, copying the version 2.3 tarball I downloaded (i.e. https://download-cdn.getsync.com/2.3/Drobo/BitTorrent_Sync.tgz), and then restarting my Drobo5N and this has no effect. Whatever I do my Drobo5N is still running 2.0.138.

 

How can I update to the latest version?

[[Solved] Delete Old Peers]

If you're referring to Sync 1.4, Peers will continue to be listed in the UI for 7 days since they were last seen/online, after which they will then disappear from the UI.

 

This setting may be changed via the new advanced "peer_expiration_days" setting.

 

That's exactly what I was asking, thanks for clarifying. I'll just wait the 7 days...

[[Solved] Delete Old Peers]

It seems that I screwed up and didn't disconnect a peer before uninstalling the Bittorrent Sync client on the machine, as such it stills show up in the list of peers for a shared folder. How can I remove this old peer from the shared folder?
