GreatMarko Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 Have you tried pre-pending your UNC paths with "\\?\" - Please see this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This prefix disables MAX_PATH limitations. Each time u're adding a new folder to the BTSync it converts folder path to its long form, so adding prefix just disables conversion algorithms.

I haven't had a chance to try it myself, but it occurred to me that there could be an issue syncing a pathless unc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
