And once you turn off Resilio Sync they don't get created any longer? If so, contact the Resilio Support: Settings - Help - Support. There explain your problem and they'll contact you soon.

Where are they located, what's inside? When where they created, do they still get created? How is this related to Resilio Sync, in detail: are they stored at the same location your sync folder is placed?

The link is posted in the first post at the bottom Changelog

I thought the files you sync are stored on your laptop. But if you run Sync on your laptop to sync files stored on the NAS, why don't you simply run Sync on the NAS then, instead of your laptop?

https://help.getsync.com/hc/en-us/articles/205458185-Setting-how-often-Sync-should-check-for-file-changes- Is it possible that your laptop is too slow, so that the indexing takes so much time, that the next rescan cycle starts even though the first hasn't finished yet, resulting in endless indexing? You might change the value to something like 10 hours (36000) to see if it's better. That's what I use on my laptop currently but I'll increase it to an even higher number, because I see little to no use in the rescan. For me it's more a security feature to not miss some depply stored files. Thus even longer periods could be used, depending on your file structure. On the NAS you might set it to zero, because you probably don't change files on the NAS directly but rather only through sync.

That's the response I got from the support:

Selective sync recreates the whole file structure on all devices. So you see the files, but they have no content, they are empty, they are just placeholders. If you decide you want a file or folder, you right click on it and select to sync it, too. So for sensitive files, as you said, maybe not so ideal. But what you could do, for example if your folder structure looks like: - PICS + Private + Public Instead of adding the folder PICS to resilio, you add Private and Public individually, then you can only add Public at your work, and add both Private and Public on your private machines.

It's probably verifying its index. You should change the folder_rescan_interval most probably if you have lots of files, else it's indexing constantly: https://help.getsync.com/hc/en-us/articles/205458185-Setting-how-often-Sync-should-check-for-file-changes- Thank you, didn't knew this either

Same problem here, running Android 6.0.1 on a Nexus 5. Sync is running, as show in the notification bar, but it's not syncing. As soon as I open the app, it syncs, but it doesn't work in the background.
