apatters Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 I installed Sync for Android today. I already have it installed on my Ubuntu laptop. 1. Created an empty folder on my laptop and used the web UI to set it up as a shared folder.2. Added a folder in the Android Sync app and obtained the QR code from the desktop.3. Enabled Automatic Sync for the folder on Android Result: - Laptop Web UI displays that the Android device is connected. Android device's Sync app reports one device connected.- Adding a file in the laptop's folder results in immediate sync to Android.- Pre-existing files in the Android folder do not sync to the laptop.- Files added in other ways to the Android folder do not sync to the laptop. I was expecting that this would behave like two PCs which have Sync, and all the files on the Android device would shoot up to the laptop immediately. Am I doing something wrong? Or is this a bug?

Guest Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 apatters: could you please send debug logs from your machines? You need: Step 1. Turn on Debug Logging. Linux: create file debug.txt with contents of FFFF in the folder where btsync binary is located. Step 2. Reproduce issue. Please let Sync collect logs for at least 15 minutes to get enough information. Step 3. Attach log files to your email and send us. Linux: ./sync/sync.log On your android please agree with sending logs in Send feedback.Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msk20171 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 (edited) apatters- I am running into the same problem. When you get a resolution, can you please post it here? And, for my future reference, where is the BTSync binary located on the android? The really odd thing that I am seeing that you didn't mention is that I am able to sync one folder from my android, but not another. The one that syncs is the internal SD card, the one that fails is the external SD card. Both were created the exact same way on my PC and on the android, so there are no differences there (configuration, permissions, etc are all the same). I've deleted and recreated the PC and android sync settings repeatedly, always with the same results. I've let it sit for hours or days at a time, hoping that it will finally click, but it never does. Meanwhile, the internal SD card syncs without any issues in real-time.

colinabroad Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Hi There, I am new to BitTorrent, but not to android. It seems ODD there has been no reply to this thread, but are you on Android 4.4(KitKat) by any chance? Google has decided you are no longer allowed to write to your External SD card and I suspect this is the problem here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
