tony72 Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Hi all, I have three devices, let's call them A, B and C. A and B are Windows 7 PCs, C is a Nexus 5 phone. I shared a folder on A with B and C with read/write access, and synced them up. I was under the impression that having done that, if I took A offline, B and C would still be able to sync changes to each other, and other answers in this forum seem to back that up, but it isn't happening for me. When A is offline, B and C show 0 devices online, and changes don't sync. Am I misunderstanding how this works? Or is there a limitation with the Android client? V1.2.82 on the PCs and 1.2 14 on the phone btw. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 B and C should still sync if A is offline. There is therefore likely an issue with your network/firewall/router. Are all 3 devices A, B, and C on the same physical network? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony72 Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Thanks for the reply. A day after I posted it started working by itself without me changing anything, and it's still working. At the time of that post all devices were on my home network, but my phone and laptop have been connected to various networks since, I don't know if that could have had something to do with getting things working again. Fingers crossed that it keeps working now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the network a device connects to changes, and syncing subsequently stops, closing and restarting Sync usually resolves the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
