  1. Without a static IP you have to use the tracker servers. But you still can disable the relay server, but have to make sure, that the required ports can be opened. Which is normally the case in consumer routers. However, if your office system uses some kind of more secure firewall, you'll have to open the required ports manually. Ideally you only forward these ports to your specific computer IP.

    So, according to the guide from resilio:
    1. https: Do you use some kind of content filtering at your office by using a proxy server? If not, then nothing to do here.
    2./3. In your Resilio Sync settings, "advanced" there's a port. You have to forward this port (both TCP and UDP) to your local computer IP, on both networks.

  2. You can disable the use of relay servers for each folder:

    Then you can add the static IP of your office computer to the known hosts:

    That way you don't need relay server and don't need tracker servers.

     

    And finally you can try to open the ports until it works. What exactly don't you understand in the guide?

  3. I don't see how it's possible with Resilio sync, for some reasons.

    1. You don't seem to have a backup. Now it's time to invest some time and money to create an automatic daily incremental backup. Tools like Duplicati, Duplicicty, Veeam Backup, ... might help you. With a backup, this requirement becomes needless.

    2. I don't think this works.

    3. It might work if you don't use the backup function on your smartphone but the normal sync function.

    Me too! Same problem with TS 451+ and 16 Gb RAM.

    I'm not familiar with terminal and I don't even know where it is resilio-sync.conf file.

    So solve this problem please!!

    Regards

    It's very simple.

    Go to the QTS Webinterface, open the App Center, stop Resilio Sync.

    Activate SSH on your NAS, install Putty, enter the IP of your NAS, Port 22 and press connect. Enter as admin. Go to the normal shell.

    cd /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/ResilioSync/

    There it is, edit it with

    vim resilio-sync.conf

    Press i to enter the INSERT mode and edit the file. Press ESC to exit the mode, type

    :wq

    to exit and save the file. Restart Resilio Sync from the App Center.

    The solution from Resilio seems to have it solved for me, 

  5. Resilio Sync discovers other peers through multicast. So I suspect, that in your configuration mutlicast is not working. (or you have multiple NICs and Resilio Sync uses the wrong one)

    Nevertheless, because you only have two computers connected, you can specify IP adress of the other machine: Predefined hosts:

    Unless in the ideal world in which any software does not have bugs... but in the real world we are living in that does not apply.

    I don't understand why you're annoyed of updates, because you have the option of not updating.

    It's about the importance of the bugfixes. I'm annoyed by meaningless minor single bugfixes. Just collect them and release an update with several bugfixes. Timbo listet a few, so it might be worth. But some of them are odd complaints:

     

    @Timbo

    NAS and RAM: I don't see the bug. I just see that a user tries to run more demanding software on some vastly underpowered device. I also run Resilio on my NAS, no problems, but I have 16GB of RAM.
    I only know that my AV Scanner (ESET) causes issues while network traffice, but not Resilio. I also don't understand how it should affect it. And freezing the PC up more looks like some hardware/driver issues of the NIC and/or mainboard. Maybe a simple solution could be to delay the transfer. I don't have 10Gbps, only 1Gbps, but everything is fine. No freezes. (except with the AV Scanners firewall)
    The sync conflicts, peers stuff, I had these issues in the past. All of them got fixed with the latest updates. Did you send them your recent bug reports?
    Debug and SSD. What's the problem? The lifespan of a SSD should be enough to survive constant logging, which is helpful to find bugs, something you want.
    Debug reading: That's why you send them your bug reports via Resilio Sync.
    I have 5 Windows devices in sync and 2 Smartphones (sadly the Android app really does not work properly) and no further issues so far, with 0.5TB of data and about 200k of files in sync.

  7. I'm annoyed by constant updates of modern apps and programs. They add a simple feature and think it's worth an update. Next day, the feature gets fixed, next update. Next day, they fix a spelling error, update. Next day they change .... update update update.

    Each week every program thinks it must get updated because of nothingness. That's stupid!

    In this way, I'm happy, that Resilio Sync works and does not release constant minor updates.

    Resilio could release an update, just for the sake of an update, and lots of people would be glad to receive an update. They don't care what got fixed, they just want an update. Just think about this nonsense!

  8. @Kinst Do a google search. It depends on what you have at home. If you have a proper router, you can map a dynamic DNS to your dynamic IP and then activate the VPN Server on your router. If your router doesn't support this, you need some extra device.

    And to clarify it: Yes, Resilio Sync doesn't need a VPN. It either tries to create a direct connection or, if the ports are blocked, uses a Relay Server.

  9. It's a one time thing? You have two folders, which you want to keep in sync, but at the moment they are out of sync and now you ask for a solution, to bring them in sync, so Resilio Sync can keep them in sync in the future?

    Use a third part tool, like FreeFileSync, select both source and destination. Let it compare both folders and select the desired action (copy, remove) for each out of sync folder pair. Then let it run.

    Afterwards set up Resilio Sync on both source and destination to keep both folders in sync in the future.

     

  10. Removable Drive:
    Just test it.

    Deleting accidentally:
    No way to prevent it. It's not a backup, it's a real time sync. However, Resilio Sync does not delete the files, it moves them to the .Archive folder, inside the shared folder, first. After 30 months or some other period, which you can define in the Power user preferences, it removes them permanently.

    Still, you should have some sort of backup, too. Some kind of automatic incremental backup. Take a look at Duplicati or alternatives.
