Actually, looking at the syncs, they are mainly documents, not system files and backups, so thousands might be a better estimate. Hopefully not an issue when the problem is Resilio sync will not even launch?

Thanks Frank, It's a QNAP TVS-871T-i7-16G 8 Bay High Performance Thunderbolt 2 Network Attached Storage Firmware 4.3.3.0229. Number of files? No idea. Hundreds of thousands across 12 or so shared folders of various sorts. How do you deactivate the app if it will not launch from the QNAP interface?

Once before I opened my QNAP because my various devices had not been syncing with it (my main always-on sync device). Just as last time, I found I could not launch Resilio Sync - clicking the icon in the QNAP system opened a webpage which failed to load. There seems no other way to access the Resilio sync server on QNAP? So I uninstalled and reinstalled. Anyway, here we are again and I figure if this is going to happen regularly I would ask how to stop it happening. Also the best way to re-establish this 'node' in the sync network? - without completely deleting everything and hoping everything is present on other nodes?! So I have reinstalled, and got the application running. So I now add the existing folders? Clicking to reset ownership? Or is there a simpler way to get everything not only back, but working as a node and picking up where it left off without yet again salvaging my data, creating a single source and connecting all of my devices to it. How do I stop it happening again? - in another post I saw the reply - there are so many possiblities, which doesn't sound reassuring WRT it never being an issue again. I have to say that for what is now a paid solution to manage 'my mass data', I'm not amused. Any advice appreciated.
