More Info about Read-Only Mode

[Papipapito]

Hello, first, sorry for my low level of english.

I need more info about Read-only Shares.

In my test, the share read-only have a strange behavior.

Example:

Have Machine A , with files 1 and 2 , and share Read-only folder to machine B

,

In machine A , delete file 1, and file 1 is deleted in Machine B

In Machine A, add a file 3 and add file 3 in Machine B

Ina Machine A, modify file 2 and file is modified in Machine B

But

In machine B delete file 2 , and not deleted in Machine a, but in 10 minutes, Machine A NO replicate file 2 another time to Machine B, the file never appears in machine B

it's normal?

Exist the option to forçe a Machine B a Re-Sync all content of A machine (read-only share)

This is the nature of read only keys. Because the content is downloaded, machine B is obviously able to remove the files from their local hard drive, however the chances are not synced back to machine A, hence the 'read only'.

Therefore, if you have machines 1 - 5 you could have write permissions only on machine 1, with 2 - 5 having read only permissions and only machine 1 would be able to syndicate changes between all 5 machines.

Also, to force a re-download of the content, you would probably have to remove the share, then re-add it and having to re-download all files and folders again.

Hello

TX for the explain , but , if the btsync is runinng in of read-only and detele files, is logical to revert origial state in read-only, resync from A to B again and re-download the files deleted in folder in machine B. (not delete files in A, only redownload folder in B with original state (after first sync , beffore delete files))

TX for Explain

[Xanza]

Not necessarily. With read only access you might only want, or need access to one or two files out of thousands. Therefore you can simply remove the other files that are not needed and only sync the few that you do need.

But there definitely should be an option to resync the folder.

Yes, but i need the other mode for a internal deploy of files

Thanks for the info
