  1. On the read only computer within the preferences of your shared folder - make sure "Overwrite any changed files" is checked.  If the read only computer changes any files - Sync will automatically re-download the file overwriting what was changed.  The only thing Sync will not do is delete a file that is created on the read only computer.  The file will not sync to any other computer but Sync will not remove it automatically from the read only share.

  2. So this happened to me as well.  I have a 450 GB folder synced to several computers and half of it just went missing.  I was able to restore it all using the archive but it was such a pain - and it coped over multiple version of files that were changed throughout the day.  This makes me extremely nervous - I feel like I'm going to have to check my archive everyday to make sure there is nothing in their that shouldn't be.

  3. Sorry for the late reply - I ended up downgrading to 2.5.13 and that fixed the issue.

    I just tried reinstalling 2.6.0.1317 again and still can't change the listening port - I used the sync.conf you sent with no luck.  The config I have been using that worked with the previous version was this:

    {
      "webui" : {
        "listen" : "0.0.0.0:8888",
        "login" : "admin",
        "password" : "1234"
      },
      "listening_port" : 61778,
      "folder_defaults.use_relay" : false,
      "folder_defaults.use_tracker" : false,
      "lan_encrypt_data" : false,
      "enable_file_system_notifications" : true,
      "send_statistics" : false,
      "disk_low_priority" : false
    }

    The weird thing is I can change it to certain ports.  If I try changing it to 61778 (which is what I was using) it will automatically change it to 63219.  If I stay above 63219 it seems to be ok - as soon as a I go below like 63218 it will change it back to 63219.

  4. I installed the latest version of Resilio (2.6.0.1217) and the listening port changed and I can't change it back.  Everytime I change the port in the advanced settings it wont save.  If I refresh the browser it changes back to what it was.  I tried setting the port in the config file and that also wont work - is there another way to change the listening port?

  5. I'm not sure I can help troubleshoot why you can't get the ports to forward but I can confirm that Sonicwall works with sync.  I personally have a NSA-2400 and about 6 other offices with different Sonicwalls that work with no issues.

  6. Just to make sure it wasn't a problem with that one computer I upgrading to 2.5.0 - I upgraded another system on the same network to 2.5.1 and this system is also having the same issues.  It can't find any other peers unless the "Use tracker server" is checked.

    I then downgraded that computer to 2.4.5 and all the peers started working again without using the tracker server.

  7. I only upgraded one computer in my network to 2.5.0 - all the others are on 2.4.5.  The predefined hosts were for 2 external systems going over the internet - they also haven't changed.

    Once I updated the one system to 2.5 it couldn't connect to any computer including the systems on the LAN.  All the other computers running 2.4.5 can see each other with exactly the same settings.  I never had to setup predefined hosts for computers that are on the same LAN before - shouldn't they just find each other with the "search LAN" option checked off?

    Right now every system is setup the same way - they have "Search LAN" checked off and "Use Predefined Hosts" for the 2 computers that are over the internet.  Only the system running 2.5 with these settings cannot connect to any peer - I have to select "Use tracker server" for them to start connecting.

  8. Just an update to this - I have no peers when it's setup to use only "predefined hosts" and "search LAN".  Even if the computers are on the same network they can't find each other.  As soon as I turn on "Use Tracker Server" then they can see each other.  I'm only having this issue with the one computer that is running 2.5.0 and my android phone after the update.

  9. Hi Helen,

    Thanks for the reply but I found the "issue".  Within the advanced settings some of the user's set "enable_file_system_notifications" to false thinking it was going to stop the notifications from popping up.  Looks like that setting stops the windows file system watcher.

    Now knowing that - how do you stop the popups like when a file is in use from showing up?  I know there is the setting under General "Show notifications" but that setting is missing if we use the config file.

    Thanks

  10. I've been noticing with the latest version 2.4.5 that the files are not updating as soon as I add them to a shared folder.  They sync across the peers when the folder is re-indexed (this is done every 10 min).  I used to add a file then that files would sync immediately - now they only sync on the scheduled re-index.

    I have sync running on Windows 10

  11. My problem isn't the way the software reports locked files - I actually really like that.  My problem is sometimes after I close the program that is locking the file - it is still showing up locked within Sync.  They only way I can get sync to transfer the file that is showing locked is to restart sync.  So I know that file is actually unlocked because as soon as I restart sync it starts transferring the file.

  12. I just wanted to chime in and say I’m having the same issue with my Windows systems.  I ended up downgrading to 2.3.8 because of it.  I would update a file and it wouldn’t sink over – I would compare the file manually and can see they are different but Resilio Sync would say they are in sync.  Sometimes restarting sync would fix it but most of the time I would have to copy the file to a non-synced folder then copy it back in.

    Downgrading back to 2.3.8 found more files that were not in sync and synced them up

  13. For me the double names showing up in the peers list was because 2 of my systems had the same port number.

    As soon as I changed one of the port numbers - the duplicate names disappeared.  I also couldn't change the port numbers without using a config file - I created a different post for that issue.

  14. I’ve been noticing several pictures and videos I’ve taken from my android phone are corrupted on my desktop.  I have a Samsung S6 and the photos are ok on the phone – but about 20% of them on my windows 10 computer are unreadable.  I get an error that the file is corrupted when trying to view them.

    It isn’t just happening on my phone – I have another S6 my wife is using and it’s happening with hers as well.

    Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    Thanks

  15. I’m also experiencing this problem on my systems.  I have a Windows 7 and Windows 10 system and they are both running BTSync slower.  With 2.2.7 after booting the system up or waking it from being a sleep the system would transfer the files almost immediately with no system lag.  With 2.3.1 – it takes about 10 min after waking the system for it to start transferring the files – and it uses a lot of CPU.

    I ended up downgrading to 2.2.7 and the issues went away.
