My goal is to sync my photo collection between Computer 1 and Computer 2. My photos reside on an external drive connected to Computer 1. I've duplicated this onto a second external hard-drive and connected it to computer 2. Since the files are now identical on both computers (HD connected to each) I'd like to make sure any changes to the HD on Computer 1 get sync'd to the HD on Computer 2. On computer 1 I've set my Default Folder Location to be the folder on the HD containing all the photos. I've then also added that Folder to BT Sync. On Computer 2 I've set the "Default Folder Location" to be the HD connected to it. Instead of recognizing the files already exist, it created a new folder (called "Pictures (1)" instead of "Pictures") and is now sync'ing all of the files even though the files already exist on the drive. I'm wondering if there's any way to take advantage of the fact that the photos are already on both drives and not have to use BT Sync to get the initial transfer over. Both machines (at the moment) are connected via WiFi to the same network and I've limited it to LAN connections but it's only transferring at ~160kb/sec. At this rate it's going to take weeks to get the files onto the drive, when they're already there thanks to the speeds of USB3/SATA. Is this possible?
