syncfolders gone


Recommended Posts

What version were you running prior to update? If it was a very old version, or indeed, if it was SyncApp - this will be the reason your folders have vanished from BitTorrent Sync, as changes were made to the way files were indexed a while back.

You will need to re-add your folders again to BitTorrent Sync

Ok, have a look in your "%AppData%/Roaming/BitTorrent Sync" folder - are there any files there?

If so, with BitTorrent Sync not running, you could try restoring good "settings.dat" and "sync.dat" files, by renaming the "settings.dat.old" file to "settings.dat" and "sync.dat.old" to "sync.dat"... and then restarting BitTorrent Sync.

This way, if either of these files became corrupt during upgrade, restoring the ".old" files in their place may solve the issue?

Same things happened to me yesterday. I was previously on 1.0.132 on Windows 7.

I tried restoring the backup, but that didn't fix the problem.

*edit* Restoring my backup settings didn't work because the backup file was only about 10 minutes old. I used Crashplan to restore my settings from the previous day before and everything is back to normal.
