  4. Indexing After Re-Starting Sync Client

    I'll try setting the rescan metric really high and see if the index completes within a day or so.  Its a good first step.  But, earlier in this thread they talked about an issue with SMB specifically.  From reading the thread the bug may never have been fixed...

    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?

    I see this is an older post, but I'm experiencing the same problem I think.  Indexing on a server with local storage and 3TB of data is fine, but indexing on my laptop connected to a NAS is not.  Is this still a bug with SMB and Resilio (BTsync)?

    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.

  6. How to enable auto sync in Resilio Android app?

    That's the response I got from the support:

    To enable application to work in the background please make sure that:
    1. "Use Notifications" option is enabled in Sync. Turn it on in Android Settings -> Apps -> Sync.

    2. Set higher priority for Sync application in Android settings -> Sounds&notifications -> App notifications. Also check battery settings, it may happen that background applications are force-killed for battery saving.

    3. Check Wi-Fi settings. It may happen that it set up in a such way that it drops connection when screen is locked. In that case synchronization stops too. 

    4. If you have optimizing or task killing programs - make sure that they are not affecting Sync.

    5. Also Sync will stop his work if Auto-sleep mode turned on and there is not transfers at the moment: https://help.getsync.com/hc/en-us/articles/204762699-Configuring-Auto-Sleep-Battery-Saver-Android-

     

  7. Sync only some folders to other device

    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.

    Yea, I have a 11TB folder I'm trying to get indexed and sometimes I see Sync indexing the folder, and other times it's not doing anything....  Has it completed it's indexing, taking a break or is it verifying it's current index????

    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:

    2) [...] I found out that you can right click on the WebGUI column headings and select additional columns.  The "Size" column shows the size of the folder that's been indexed so far, so I could track that indexing was "working" and estimate time left.  

    Thank you, didn't knew this either

  9. How to enable auto sync in Resilio Android app?

    I have similar question that Android (Samsung Edge 7) does not seem to automatically sync. I have to open the app and then it will kick off syncing. I don't have to go into each of the individual folders to initiate sync as the previous user is having to do but it seems to require that I at least open the app to initiate. When I look in the notification bar it shows sync as running. What are we missing?

    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.
