  1. Am I missing something here? 

    I have been struggling with BTSync on my 6 PC's, 3 tablets & 10 phones for about a year - it seemed to be the BEST solution for my needs with V1.4 regardless of cost.  Finally gave up after the 2.0 release which has never worked for me and have purchased a Synology NAS.  This comes with software that syncs across ALL devices, albeit in a slightly different master/slave scenario (which I prefer), but it works.  Without any dramas.  On Apple, Android, Windows - across an office LAN as a network and across the World sharing files with several others.  Yes, you have to pay for the hardware and storage, but you have to do this for BTSync as well.  Why on earth would ANYONE want to use BTSync on a Synology NAS??? the NAS itself comes with software that beats BTSync EVERY TIME ! (unless of course you want to set up a mesh that you cannot rely upon!) I wish I had found this NAS a year ago, they are NOT expensive, even for home use, I was STUPID to think I could use the drives in my existing computers with BTSync to 'save money'  I only have 350Gb of data - for my entire business, it only cost me £300 to buy the NAS and 6GB of 2xRAID drives - insignificant compared to the subscription BTSync want for software that does not work!

    I look forward to the 'torrent' of replies!!

    Hi. I've used the synology software for some time.

     

    What you have is a lot of bugs, incompatibility between versions (upgrading is a nightmare) and a brutal usage of Server space. I have to manage a server used by 10-11 users, and after a while I had to give up with the (unnamed) synology software.

    Also that software have almost no support at all. Go to the synology forums and enjoy the desperate cry for help of the other users.

    Actually I'm testing the BTsync software in the 1.4 version (since the 2.0 don't work on qoriq) and even is is barely working at least is not buggy as the synology one.
