Harold Feit Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 What specific version of sync are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iampariah Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 I have the exact same issue as the original poster. I'm using BitTorrent Sync 1.0.134 on OS 10.7.5 and Windows 7 x64.The process I used:On the Mac I chose a folder with few files and folders in it.I installed the client on Windows.I used the secret key from the Mac to connect with a folder on Windows that had many files and subfolders.The resultS of the sync were...Thousands of files were deleted from WindowsAll the Mac files were copied over to WindowsSome of the Windows files were copied to the MacThankfully the .synctrash saved me from hours of downloading backups from an off-site server.

iampariah Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Step 1: UPDATE.Step 1: IT IS UPDATED. How rude. The software reports that the "Client version is up to date" on both machines. It's a brand new download, too 4 days ago). If you have a more recent version, your own software doesn't know about it, so how should its users?

eseelke Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Step 1: IT IS UPDATEDThere is an update. Version 1.1.15 has been released through this forum. If you go to the main page of this forum, it is a pinned thread that gets updated before the clients do.All version 1.1.x versions are not compatible with 1.0.x versions, so you will need to update all of your installs.
