John Peterson Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 ## iOS SMB or WebDAV Sync FolderCan BitTorrent Sync iOS use a SMB or WebDAV folder as a Sync Folder?## ReasonThe goal is to use a Seagate Wireless Plus smb://172.25.0.1 or 172.25.0.1/dav folder as a Sync Folder in an iPadUsing SMB or WebDAV as a Sync Folder has meaning because iPad* built in storage is 16 GB* SD card connected to Lightning store at most 32 GB* don't support (non-jailbroken) mounting an external USB disk connected through Lightning, except* [HyperDrive Hard Drive for iPad](http://www.hypershop.com/HyperDrive/Hard-Drive-for-iPad/HDIP-1TB.html) that cost $400 compared to Seagate Wireless Plus that cost $200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmb Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 That's not the purpose of the program, also its technology doesn't allow that. It relies on bittorrent technology. Not smb/webdav.If you want to do that, you should look for another sync program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It relies on bittorrent technology. Not smb/webdav. This reply understand the question as being about sync through SMB or WebDAV rather than BitTorrent This is wrong because * the question is about using a SMB or WebDAV folder as a Sync Folder, that has meaning because wired (rather than wireless) iOS storage is limited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Peterson Posted September 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 ## OS >You can use SMB folder as a shared folder in BTSync without any issues Clarify that you're talking about BitTorrent Sync iOS (rather than another OS) by * describing the GUI actions to do this because * the Android BTSync GUI don't allow a SMB folder as a Sync Folder because the GUI action "Add sync folder > Choose folder" don't allow typing a Sync Folder path (f.e. smb: // 172.25.0.1/folder) rather than selecting it in a folder browser (where a SMB folder can't be mounted on a non-rooted device) * it's possible that the iOS code is similar to the Android code. I.o.w. don't allow a SMB folder as a Sync Folder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Rudov Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Clarify that you're talking about BitTorrent Sync iOS (rather than another OS)Please correct me if I'm wrong. You have Seagate Wireless Plus device and iPad and you'd like to play and manage files from Seagate device on your mobile device. You don't want to install BTSync on Seagate.Looks like you don't need BitTorrent Sync for this, you only need a WebDAV iOS application.Why do you want to use BitTorrent Sync iOS in this case?

nils Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 ... or the OP was talking about USING SMB/WebDAV as the storage medium and the iOS client to access and share it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anton Rudov Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 I'm not expert of Linux. I will ask the guys to answer how you can install BTSync on Seagate Wireless Plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
