Guest idef1x Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 After stopping syncing with btsync for a while I thought I give it another try. One main "issue" I had with btsync was not not being able to sync a subfolder within a synced folder. Now with version 1.2.82 I see that (if my memory serves me right) I don't get an error anymore when trying to add a subfolder in btsync of an already synced parent folder. So I have now: Main syncfolder |----------------------subfolder |---------------------- subsynced folder If I read the forum about nested or subfolder syncing the only way to accomplish this was like putting the subsynced folder in the main .SyncIgnore on all the machines that needs to sync the main folder. What would the danger be in letting the main sync folder indexing all including the subsynced folder and the subsynced folder, just the subsync?The only bad thing about that I can think of is that the subsynced folder will be indexed twice (wich might have impact on performance/memory but further? As others mentioned before I'd like to sync a subset of my Pictures to my laptop that has limited space (SSD), so I only want to sync the current year or so..

sirio81 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Hi all, I'm also searching the forum to know about nested syncing.May anybody answer and possibly add this to FAQ? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Hi idef1x, sirio81, This is a very basic support of subfolders sync (so I would avoid calling it "Nested folders support") and it is possible with several limitations: - Both parent folder and child folder must have RW permissions. - Both folders are treated as separate sync folder, so additional indexing will be done. - Other peers, that have parent secret WILL NOT seed the data to peers, owning only child folders. We'll update the FAQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
