Need "Source" and "Destination" in Table

Recommended Posts

When I click the BitTorrent icon on my desktop, the table displayed shows tabs for Devices, Shared Folders, Transfers, History, and Preference. Clicking on shared folders, I see a list of "folders" on my C:\ drive. I would like to see two wide columns, one for "Source" and next to that, "Destination". The columns could also be called "From" and "To". The column widths should be adjustable. I am trying to use BitTorrent Sync to create backups of files from my PC and put them on a Seagate network drive. Can not tell if it is doing it. Also need an easy way to view the files on the Seagate network drive and tell how much space is left on the drive. And I need an easy way to add or delete files and folders from the "Shared Folders, Source and Destination" lists. In the future I would like to use BitTorrent Sync to also create backups of my files on my daughter's external network drive, through our Cox ISP. Any comments or suggestions appreciated.

..and how would you envisage this working if you're syncing between **multiple** devices - and not just between two!? :P

...have you checked the "History" tab?

Hmm.. the ability to move/delete files around on drives/check how much free disk space you have, etc is kind of more a Windows file manager job! BitTorrent Sync's purpose isn't to be a complete replacement for your Windows file manager/operating system!

Whilst there are plans to add "versioning" at some stage, which would then give you a "backup" solution of sorts... remember, that BitTorrent Sync is primarily a file ***synchronization** tool, rather than a complete backup solution. There is an active "wishlist" thread, though, where a number of users have voiced a desire to have more backup-orientated features, so feel free to post your suggestions there!
