I was also looking to find a provider for this purpose. I have found some, but they are quite expensive. https://www.feralhosting.com/wiki/software/resilio_sync There are also some articles of using Amazon cloud, but I have never tried. Have you found any other provider?

Hi Helen, thank you. I have removed some files on the device where the message was displayed and the message is gone. Unfortunately that means I can't make a screenshot any more. I think the warning was in the Peer list window.

I have received this warning message in the app: "Running out of free space in storage location" Since I have low space in my device and also on the device I'm syncing to, I'm not sure what the message means. Is it referring to source device (where the message is displayed) or to target devices? Better wording would be more appropriate for better understanding, or even further info which device, drive and/or folder are running out of free space.

Hi, I sent the dumps over the app crashbox several times. I have send the logs right now, too. I hope it helps.

Hi, I'm experiencing higher than usual number of crashes of Resilio Sync with this RC 1312. I'm prompted to submit the crash dump to developers and after Resilo Sync restarts, the crash might occur again. This does not happen always, just sometimes. [Window Title] Resilio Sync [Main Instruction] Resilio Sync has crashed. A crash dump has been saved as: [Content] C:\Users\___\AppData\Roaming\Resilio Sync\33947648-sync.aead.dmp. How would you like to proceed? [Just relaunch the application] [Submit this dump to the developers] [Don't relaunch the application or send a crash dump]

+1, I could also use this feature. I have limited space on my laptop, so I'd like to put photos in a synced folder, let Sync do it's job, then delete the files from the laptop but keep them synced on other machines. When I was looking for this feature I imagined it as a "wormhole folder". Put some files in the folder, let them go through, keep them on the other side but delete them here. I guess this request thread is similar to my wish with one difference: let people do deleting themselves instead of automatic. Still acceptable for me.

Oh, thank you @ellw and @Moe! I completely forgot about the icon in the taskbar. Found it and I can Pause again, thanks!

Hi, after I upgraded to 2.5,3 is see that the Settings page has been redesigned. It's more more intuitive now, but I'm missing a feature. Before there was a "Pause all" option in the Settings dropdown menu. Now there is no dropdown menu, but also this feature seems to be gone. Am I missing something or did you remove the feature to pause all activity? If so, is there any workaround available? Thank you!

Great, I'm glad you came to the same conclusions. Thanks for your feedback!

Are you sure it actually wants to transfer the files? Maybe it's just indexing them to check if they're the same or not. Usually that happens when you add a new folder and Sync has to insure that every byte is the same. This looks like transferring but it's actually just building database and hashes. It looks the same from the UI perspective, but there's not much network traffic.

Thank you GreatMarko!

In my experience on large files and slow connections, there was no need to start over. When the connection is back, Sync always picks up where it ended. Please not that in the UI (on Windows) it looks like it's starting over (actually it is starting over, but only for the bytes that were left unsynced) - the progress circle in the Status column always starts at 0% after interruption. But if you hover mouse over it you will see the details and the remaining time getting shorter every time the progress continues. Try it out yourself, I think you'll be satisfied with the results -- but probably not with the info you get from the UI, because it's not telling everything. You can also try it on a good connection, using "Pause" and "Resume" - the behaviour is the same, it always gets back to 0% but continues to sync from where it left.

Is there a specific reason for this?

Yes, I've written it weirdly. I haven't removed the rules for the ignored files, I have actually removed the ignored files. I'm still not syncing the files on the ignore list.

Hi, I have managed to find the culprit with the help of both of you. The problem was in different file count and size reporting on Windows. I did a scenario where I tested the sizes and number of files and it turned out that the settings on what files to show (system, hidden) were different on different computers. That's why also the reported file count and sizes were not the same. I have removed all the files that get ignored because of the ignore list and set the same folder view options to show hidden and system files on all machines. Then the numbers added up and now the file count and the file size is reported the same as expected. Thanks for your great support!

Hi @GreatMarko, thanks for your reply. There are no files or folders excluded. The list only lists files that I don't have in this folder. Also, this wouldn't explain why the total file size matches. If files were excluded, total file size would have to be smaller. The same goes for locked files - total file size wouldn't match then. Any other ideas?

Hi, if I understand encrypted folders correctly, the encrypted folder should have the same number of files and directories as synced original folder. For example, for every folder one encrypted folder is created, and for one file one encrypted file is created. The file size of each file should also stay exactly the same. Is my understanding correct? I'm asking because I have found a situation that I think is weird: I have synced three machines. One has rw access, the second one is read only, and the third one is encrypted. All machines seem to be in sync. File size of all three folders is the same (only differs for 20 bytes on the machine with encrypted folder). However, folder and file count is not the same. For the machines 1 and 2 with rw and ro access Windows reports 26491 files in 2183 folders; the third machine with encrypted access reports 13682 files in 1428 folders. Apparently there are many files and folders so it's difficult to check what's missing (if anything). I have manually checked some of the folders and file counts and it seems to be in order. Number of files matches, reported file sizes also match. It's weird that total folder size matches, but file and subfolder count is way off. What am I missing? Thank you!

Thanks @Moe, I know this. I kind of expected this, but I'm surprised that it's the same for the other way around - if I have unencrypted data and if I want to encrypt it, I also have to upload it again...

OK, I understand now. Thanks for a long explanation so I also see the reasons behind the answer. I think I will just create all folders as encrypted, even if I don't plan to use encryption (yet). If I change my mind in some point in the future, it will be trivial to add another encrypted node in comparison to what I'd have to do if the folder was a standard one. Thank you!

Hi, I'm using the free version of Sync. I have this scenario: I have created a standard folder on PC1. I have added this folder on PC2 using the RW key. Everything synced successfully. After that I have read about encryption functionality, so I would like to make the folder on PC2 encrypted. Looking at the user interface and this forum, I think the only way of doing this is removing the folder from PC1 and PC2 and creating a new encrypted folder on PC1, then using encrypted key on PC2 to sync the data again. This would work, but I would have to transfer all the data again from PC1 to PC2. My questions: Is there another way of doing this? Maybe a way where there's no need to transfer all the data again? Id there a way to change a standard folder to encrypted folder after it has been created? This could be achieved through UI on PC1 and wouldn0t affect other machines (because they have RW or RO keys, so there's nothing new for them. Thank you!
