There is no "sync all" option in the directory menu list. There is only Share, Pause, Details, and Peers. None of these options has a Sync All sub-option. So this does not fix the issue for me.

I have a newb question that, despite much Googling, I am surprised I cannot find a simple answer to.
I have linked a Windows PC and an Android Phone. For the sync directories I have chosen on my Windows PC, I wish them all to be synced immediately to the phone. However, it seems they only sync on demand, when I choose a file on the Phone.
How may I do a first-time sync of the entire directory contents, in bulk, without having to manually click each file?
Android - Only Syncing Placeholders Not Actual Files

I am uninstalling btsync because of a fundamental issue in it's approach. I know others doing the same.
From the source Windows machine, my android app syncs the subdirectory and file structure of a shared top-level directory flawlessly. However, and crucially, it does not sync the actual files, only a placeholder to create the structure. To sync the actual file, that is have the actual bytes on my device, I need to select that file in the Android app.
I'm syncing say 200 files. I'm on a plane and no longer have WiFi. I need a file that I thought was sync'd but of course no, I have not previously selected it in the app and so I am seeing only the placeholder. So, no good.
I have hunted through all options in both target and source devices, and nothing seems to force download of the actual files. Only the structure. Until this changes, I will not be using this application.
