Hello,
I want to sync folders between laptop Windows10 pro with desktop Linux Mint 17.3
Followed instructions for official linux packages, added ripository & key and installed btsync.
Opened webui, created id which is same id of my desktop
Via options/preferences/general : change of default folder location : error message "you do not have permission to write to this directory"
via options/preferences/login : my password is requested for user adminst ?
Via add folder : /home/user/btsync/foto : error message "don't have permission to write to selected folder"
Seems there is a problem with my identity.
What do I wrong ?
regards

hi ArtemPronevsky
Sorry to come back but I still have problems with permissions :
files like .odt etc which can be modified on linux pc and windows laptop are, after syncing from windows to linux only available in "read" on linux
On linux, I change permissions with the command sudo chmod -R ugo+rw /directory of sync folder, resulting in writing and reading files in this directory.
modifying a file in linux again is, after syncing, in read and write on the windows pc.
if I modify this file in Windows, I get it, after sync, in read only on the linux pc !
FYI : during installation I add folders on the windows pc and via manual connections + code added a folder on linux (folder /bittorrent, not in home/)
what is wrong ?
regards
