  1. Thanks Gane, I must have missed that option. I'll give that a try!

    In the meantime my workaround was to install Sync on a second device, with the alternate network set to a higher metric. Their destinations are each the same shared storage. I think it's a little awkward because I noticed they would send data to each other, so I ended up disabling LAN sync. Not sure that was the best workaround so I'll try a link aggregation when I get the chance.

    Thanks again!

  2. Hi,

    How are you supposed to revert to placeholder files when you have read/write access?

    I've read these documents and still have a question:

    That last document indicates that you revert to placeholders by simply deleting the file, but then adds this oh-so-critical caveat:

    If you have Read & Write access, deleting a placeholder removes it permanently from all peers.

    That assumption will completely break my use case. How are you supposed to use this feature if you need read/write access?

    I have lots of storage on my NAS but limited local storage. My plan is to store everything on the NAS and use Sync to sync any relevant folders while I work on them. After a project is done, I would like to remove it from local storage but obviously keep it on the NAS.

    Is this something I need to hack my own solution and GUI for using the API? I really just need something as simple as Dropbox's implementation:

    Thanks.
