If you read this thread from beginning there are some instruction for WS. If now no free version available and you need a license, you must pay to use Resilio on WS. If you dont want to pay, there are surely alternate P2P solutions possible.

Resilio doesnt continuously maintain the software according to an articulated revision standard, as was more traceable a few years ago. The last v2.7.2 was created in July 2020, v2.7.3 is from March 2022 and therefore already half a year old, without fixing all bugs. To work out bugs maybe requires an update series if necessary, also this does not take place.
Credit must be given that Sync still runs quite well on Linux and Windows platforms, apart from exceptions that can be read here, but the Android app is clearly the taillight.
We know the effect: At some point, no up-to-date software ran on Windows 95 anymore.

Doe you try the manual installation?

I think, its needed to use the Power User Settings similar to this

and to make some tests. Maybe use additional the support pages

I use only Synologys and dont know WD´s NAS in Detail. I think you have any Systemmanager, which calls Dashboard or similar and in which you also find a APP´s part maybe to check all the running processes or other needed things. Is basically possible to reach the Dashboard?

The port no. 8889 is unusual for a default setting. Normally this is 8888 or 28888. Have you changed this manually?
Otherwise, the only thing that helps is to check whether the service is running or what is in the config.

I can perhaps only contribute something based on my experience.
I use around 60 portable programs whose operating data are usually managed in the same directory. I usually use these in restrictive environments, mostly in external companies that have strict firewall regulations. I continuously synchronize these directories on a server, which means that the current operating data, updates, etc. can always be uploaded and, if necessary, downloaded somewhere else in order to be able to work there as well.
I don't do the whole thing with Resilio, but with a very well-known P2P competitor. I have never experienced data being deleted, except on purpose or by a virus scanner, which may and primarily deletes and isolates EXE files. Then your reaper.exe might also be known as such and deleted.
In this respect I do not believe in a Resilio issue.

No idea in this moment, since on my Synology´s is no problem about the packages. This forum is not so good supported from the Resilio Maintainer, in my opinion it would be good to open a ticket

Is newest version installed?

There are no known restrictions. Why you think so?
-
Maybe is the best to open a ticket on Resilio support about such points.

I think everyone is happy who thinks Resilio Sync is a good software. I'm sure those who have already migrated to other possibilities and are watching what happens are also happy. At this point, shorter update cycles are again desirable.
In addition, the Android software, which is always conspicuous in the forum, is still on v2.6.3. Why v2.6.4 is indicated in Google Play, no one knows. In addition, a relatively current update date is always given there, currently 25.2.2022, whereas v2.6.4 has already appeared on 24.12.2019, more or less as a Christmas present.

Such a feature would be good, a basis for the download would finally be available. That is one of the reasons why I still use ownCloud in parallel, there I can download data with a link or depending on its configuration also upload etc.

Such request is more for "Feature Requests"

I'm sorry to say that you don't provide good descriptions that can be used to start.
So my suggestion: create a third folder on your client, connect it to your NAS and let Sync mirror the folder. Then you match with a tool (eg FreeFileSync) or manually the two folders on your client and then you can delete the current folder.
If this does not suit your taste, then you should leave detailed descriptions, otherwise it will be difficult for anyone who might want to help.

In connection with other 3rd party APP's, I was already aware of the connection with the changes in the new permission system from DSM 6 to DSM 7. Basically, they are profound changes that no longer allow to install with root during a installation and that makes the procedure much more complex. Therefore, it was a very good sign from Resilio to be one of the first to port the Sync APP to DSM 7. This can only be praised, even if Sync is included in the official DSM 7 distribution at Synology and therefore there is already a need for action. Others are not as far along, which is a problem for those who want to upgrade to DSM 7. And is also a problem for those, who buy a new Synology, on which DSM 7 is installed, but not all APP's are in use under DSM 6 can not use under DSM 7, because of the porting to DSM 7 is not yet available.
However, what would help Resilio on the Synology download page, if the above descriptions would be deposited there in the area of DSM 7 packages:

There is a possibility in the profile data folder, where the database is located, to delete the ZIP files that are created every day. However, the contents of the ZIP's serve as a backup. Furthermore, there is still in the archive directory under .sync the possibility to delete such deleted and overwritten files, but these also serve as a backup, should something go wrong. In this respect, these precautions are possible, but be careful (!) in dealing with them.

What kind of smartphone do you have and which Android version? If you only have limited access, Resilio will not get access either. So it seems it's more likely a problem with the smartphone. Maybe can you choose a different folder area in which you have access and you can then create subfolders?

I tried syncthing before I moved to Resilio and it was a royal pain in the butt. Resilio works much better and more consistently then syncthing
In a way what you say is right, Resilio is easier to set up because of the peer orientation, especially since moreover keys can be distributed to share files. This is a feature that would also work in principle in Syncthing, but not from a practical point of view if a connection is to be limited later.
Otherwise, Resilio is just not that technical to use, and since I've been a user of both tools for years, I can say with a fair amount that both tools are good, but both have fairly similar problems when the conditions around are correspondingly unfavorable.
My main points against Resilio at the moment are the update policy and the resource consumption at lower internet bandwidths. Regarding updates, we have reached v2.7.3 after a break of almost 2 years, at least. We'll see if this once again takes care of all the bugs, v2.7.2 still had gaps after its release afterwards. For Android, we are still at v2.6.3 and v2.6.4 in the GooglePlay version.

So far, unfortunately, there is nothing in sight. The version distributed here as a link is even still v2.6.3. Since we have now arrived at Android v12 and v13 will be distributed sooner or later, this is at least questionable, especially since more and more functional problems are reported here in the forum.
-
You have to consider that managing of a synchronization on clients takes time and resources. This combination changes with the file size. Many small files therefore have a smaller transfer rate as a result and vice versa. Therefore, to a certain extent, a 1:1 consideration in relation to the network or Internet bandwidth is not meaningful.
-
Which device and Sync version you have? Seems its a permission problem, doe you check ist and maybe reset them?

What was the condition before and with which version?

I think, also v2.6.x runs anyway but its better to have some tests to be sure. Maybe there is a possibility to run both software it means Resilio and Sycthing for the same folder. You must include the patterns
// ########## Resilio files
.sync
!sync
*.rsls
// ########## syncthing files
.stfolder
.stignore
.stversions
.syncthing
.syncthing*
.syncthing.*.*.tmp
~syncthing~*.*.tmp
*.sync-conflict-*
on both sides in the Ignore List to have Resilio and Syncthing have together working on the same folder. Maybe this helps.
