Thanks a lot, RomanZ, that is very helpful!

Thanks for your summary!

Is there any good comparison available? And what's the pricing for Connect? (Sorry, I don't want to talk to sales agents to make software licensing decisions, it's simply to annoying!)

@XereX: Would you care to elaborate?

The issue is reproducible on all my Macs.

Is it normal that the menu bar indicator (wheel) is always turning?

Good to know, Thank you, Remirus!

On various computer, my Sync clients (Sync Pro) still don't automatically update to newer versions, I don't even receive a notification. 'Always check for updates to this version' is enable. If I click 'Check now' and a new version is available, updating is no problem.

I usually do what you describe as option A). Just remember to use really different names …

I was still running 2.2.7 since I had not received an update notification. Is there anyway to reliably get informed about new Sync versions?

Any news? The folders cannot even get sorted by hand … if you have more than a few folders, it's quite a mess (in addition to all the other limitations of the iOS app).

When I try to add a shared folder to BT Sync on my iPhone by taking a picture of the QR code on another BT Sync client, I get the following error message: SE_SM_NO_IDENTITY The error message appears after I have taken the picture. What could be the problem? (Workaround: Reinstall app … and lose all offline data.)

Version 2.2 has brought some improvements. Finder listings don't get refreshed immediately but definitely faster than before.

Request seconded!

I have noticed that is is very easy to lose data with BitTorrent Sync: From time to time, BitTorrent Sync running on one of my OS X clients informs me that sync for some data, usually large files, failed and that the affected data was moved to the archive … That is quite a PITA since the data is no longer accessible on the client where the message appeared and you have to manually rescue the affected data from the archive on another OS X client. If you are not careful or if you wait too long, your data is gone. Since BitTorrent Sync should excel at syncing large amounts of data, this behavior is especially worrisome IMHO. Any ideas?

Does the same issue block the start of the screensaver?

Anyone?

On Macs with BTSync installed, I noticed that file listing in Finder don't update or only very slowly. Example: If I rename a few files, the new names are not shown. If I try to open a file under its old and still listed name, I get an error message (because the file was renamed but the new name is not shown yet). In Terminal, the new file names are listed. in Finder, the file listing gets updated sooner or later (or by using killall Finder). Any ideas? The issue is reproducible on several Macs, all running OS X 10.2 (now 10.3) and the latest version of BTSync.

Why isn't a proper package available, i.e., a trusted package with automatic updates?

Cool, thank you very much!

What's the correct Terminal command to delete all BTSync archive folders on a Mac, for example after having delete the BTSync client?

What isn't working for you? I can I add the key, however, then the software hangs … In general, the implementation is disappointing: A manual installation of an unsigned package, without automatic updates, come'on!

That will have to change if BitTorrent really wants to focus on business users …

How can I sort my folders in alphabetical orders in the iOS version of Sync 2.0? (Should be iOS in the title, the forum software changed 'iOS' to 'Ios' …)

It seems that Sync 2.0 is not available as a server version for OS X yet. Any plans for such a server version? (Should be OS X in the title, the forum software changed 'OS X' to 'Os X? …)
