Hi, I have setup my Thunderbird storage folder to be synchronized with the one in my LapTop, so that I can Thunderbird on both machines without worrying about accessing emails on different machines. But the BitTorrentSynch folder keeps resetting read only flag. The synch is read and write. I have removed it twice and once it is finished. It is reset back straight away. As I am not doing it, it must be BitTorrent Synch. Is this limitation for the free version only. It didn't used to be like that in the Blue Beta version that I used for ages. Is there anyway of going back to that because I would want to synch the folders even when I am outside my LAN. Thanks

I have been using this new version (Black BitSynch) for a month or so and here is my two bit that might be worth considering for the next version. It is too complicated, confusing and takes too much space. The old one (Beta version in blue) was much more straight forward and could have been configured to cut out the cloud anyway. This one has so many layers and their demarcations are not clear. Linking devices, identities, deleting or disconnecting from pausing each need confirmation of deleting the files but not the folders? I thought I had disconnected and answered yes to the deletion of the files on the linked devices but then I found that the files were deleted but the folders were still there with numerically named files in them but why? I had to delete the read only folders manually later when I started to share the same folder because it had created a new folder with the same name plus "[1]". Again why? It should have deleted the old ones or used the same one again once it was re-linked. I am assuming that once two devices are linked then any new share gets automatically recreated in all the linked devices unless but not always. Shouldn't there at least be a light version and then a pro version who want detailed options? Then I also learned that folders can't be shared on the same device unless there are multiple installations on the same device.

Hi Newbie here. I wanted to know if it was possible to Sync two folders on the same device from one source. I want to keep some emails in sync but also keep separate backup on the same machine on a different drive, just in case the drive fails. Can't mirror the disk/drive under Windows, as I just want one folder and I don't want to install yet another sync software/service/start up as it will invariably involve even more monitoring. Is that possible?
