Are your trials somehow already up? If not, why go to Pro before they are? (Not a loaded question)
-
None that I can think of.
-
Please if you have good arguments, explain to me, maybe i miss something, but for me this version is nice, and i don't plane to move to another. Pretty sure that if they move to a reasonable price i'll take the pro version.
If you're happy with it why do you want to be convinced otherwise? I recommend reading the Broke A Promise thread for people's reasoning. No point repeating it all again.

I don't have one to say yes/no although I wouldn't waste my time going that route even if possible. Seems like a lot of unnecessary overhead on the TVs resources. Is there a reason you can't use something like Plex?
-
You need to provide more detail on issue #1. What do you mean you cannot access your shared folder?
Can you provide a screenshot for issue #2?
-
Ok, I don't have a Mac to test this on but maybe someone else here can for you.

wweich's way of removing it prior to uninstalling btsync definitely seems the best way by far.
Though it looks like there is a way to do it on Windows but it doesn't seem to propagate to all of the other valid MyDevices.
Not sure if there will be any repurcusions after the trial is over either...
In \AppData\Roaming\BitTorrent Sync\.SyncUserXXXXXXXX\ there is a devices folder. I stopped BTSync, opened the folders and read through the info.dat files, finding two old devices I don't use anymore. Deleted those folders, started up BTSync and those two devices no longer show in MyDevices.
But on my Android they still do.
What's interesting is that the .SyncUserXXXXX folder is synced (note the folder icon and more importantly the .sync subfolder with the standard IgnoreList and such). I assume this is [only] synced across devices registered in MyDevices but if so, then why didn't my folder deletions propagate? R/O?
Interesting that BTSync can sync a directory invisible to the UI
Although it is a clever way to use the application itself to keeps the whole MyDevices thing in sync. -
What OSes are you interested in or just asking in general?
I just tried to create an invalid Windows file on my Android device to see if it would sync but looks like Android is following the same rules as Windows since it wouldn't let me even create the file (using ES).

Not sure if the DCIM folder has any restrictions preventing this or not (haven't tried) but this might be worth a shot:
http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/34319-how-do-i-upgrade-classic-folder/?p=100225
Excerpt (replace 'Download' with 'DCIM'):
Add Download Folder on desktop Sync.
Rename Download folder on Android (folder must not exist or you will get an error).
When folder appears on mobile, connect to /storage/emulated/0/ with the folder name set as Download.
Move files from old Download folder to new Download folder.

http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/34320-foldererror110-message/
From RomanZ:
"The "foldererror110" message indicates that database connected to your sync folder is corrupt. Sync won't sync anything as working with corrupt DB may cause some unwanted effects - like, syncing older files over newer ones. DB can be corrupt if application crashes, improperly closed, etc. The quick fix for it is to re-add the folder."
-
The 2nd help article I linked to answers that question.
Thanks (I need to browse that help site more often).
In summary:
"To upgrade to PRO, you'll need to buy a license (aka seat). 1 license = 1 identity = unlimited devices under this identity. It means, when you buy 1 license (seat), you can use it with all of your devices, provided that all of them are linked to your private identity."
So depends on how much granular control you want in the sharing process as to whether you use the same identity or buy multiple seats.
-
The latter option is what I have been having to do (with the exception of my phone which only sends the camera backup).
I have two reasons for doing this. 1) like you, I have one pc hidden in a workshop that is purely a backup device. So if for some wild reason some files get deleted, I don't want them getting deleted on the source machine. 2) Primarily due to unresolved beta issues I don't intend to subscribe at this time. Since the mydevices feature will get nixed once the trial is over, why not treat it as such now?
-
To elaborate - the features comparison shows Pro as being licensed for business use. Leads me to think you could use one identity across the entire business. But the upgrade page had a link to buy more seats of using Pro. Leads me to think there's a cap on how many mydevices can be tied to an identity. Is there some more detailed doc on the whole seats thing?
-
Mods - was the actual poll purposely removed from this thread?
-
Just curious since this is a big topic with the release of 2.0.
Also, please be honest and don't exaggerate thinking it might have an impact on any decisions of BTSync.Mine: 10
-
How about adding a poll to this thread?
-
If I'm syncing 50 folders and the pro features expire then 40 of my folders no longer sync. or so i gathered from a question in another thread. end result is software stops working
Nope. The software doesn't stop working. You are correct about the 40 though. A feature of it stops working. I understand exactly what you are getting at though, I just don't want someone completely new to btsync to stumble on this and think the software is actually completely unusable (relative term maybe
) after the subscription/trial is over. -
@calvyb
It won't stop working any more than the trial will
stop working after 30 days. Just certain features (the pro features) will no longer be available.
-
Great idea. Rather than Applescript though how about an optional whitelist of ssid's?
-
Interesting idea but probably not one likely to be implemented (imo). The solution for your specific scenario would be to add more peers to increase the chance of one being online (not always easy with 1tb folders though I know
). The complexity of creating a buffering device could get high fast. I could see slightly more benefit to a buffering device if btsync used deltas but it doesn't nor would that apply to your example of a new file.Update: I haven't played around with the on demand/selective sync stuff but perhaps a pro version feature could be to have a date based sync. So it syncs (inbound shares) only files created in the last X days. This would get you a more generic but similar feature set although something would still need to be done with the limited storage of these devices and how it handles that. Would it delete the oldest file when full?
-
Assuming I understand what you are describing, this isn't possible/it doesn't work like that. If I am not, please elaborate.This is not hard. Set up a folder on your backup server called "Mobile backups". That folder will contain folders titled something like "Device 1", "Device 2", etc. Each of the Device folders will contain "Photos", "Movies", "System", etc. Bam, all your device backups in one folder. You then have 9 more folders to use in the free version. Plus this would make your system far less cluttered and you could more easily find things.
Bottom line, this is not a huge hurdle to overcome.
(Edited to be better)

I know this I was being facetious....
Whoops
-
They trying to tell me I'm going to wear out MY hardware ? or piss off MY ISP ?
No offense but you're missing the point of this limitation. It isn't a safety feature for you, traffic control, because the program is optimized for 10, or because you shouldn't cross the streams!
2.0 introduced a paid tier and if you want more than 10 shares you need the paid version. Again, enticement.

Haha welcome to the conversation

'Ever'? Maybe - future's unpredictable. But for now, no. That's not syncing which is all btsync is for.
