hoss.2608 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I am syncing windows 7 users directories between two machines including outlook email files, these files change every time an email arrives and cause sync to archive the old file and make a new one making the .syncarchive folder bloat Is it possible to set the archive sync_trash_ttl for individual files/folders - i dont mind 30 days for stuff that doesnt change often. Thanks Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Is it possible to set the archive sync_trash_ttl for individual files/folders - i dont mind 30 days for stuff that doesnt change often. No, "sync_trash_ttl" is a global setting, however, you can turn off SyncArchive completely on a per-folder basis (via the "Store deleted files in SyncArchive" folder option) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to sync d:\Users and the outlook files are in d:\Users\name\documents\outlookfiles Do you really mean a "higher level", or a "lower level"? If you mean a "higher level" than the folder you're syncing (i.e. D:\ is a higher level than D:\Users), Sync won't sync that folder anyway! Sync will only sync the folder you select and lower (sub) folders. If you mean a "lower level" in the folder you're syncing (i.e. D:\Users\John is a lower level than D:\Users), then yes, you can use exclusion rules in your .SyncIgnore file to exclude certain files/folders from syncing.

hoss.2608 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Doh, i meant lower level So.... At the top level directory that is syncing i can put in the outlook directories that i dont want to sync and then for those i can have a separate folder sync entry and change the settings to not "Store deleted files in syncarchive" Thanks, sync is really quite cool. Phil.PS do i quote folder names with spaces e.g. "Outlook FIles" Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarbear Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Thanks for this tip. I sync Thunderbird profile between an Mac and a Ubuntu laptop. The folder is about 4.6GB, but after a couple fo weeks the corresponding SyncArchive had grown to 21GB (!) and the Ubuntu partition ran out of space. It was Thunderbird's error message "Inbox is full, cannot retrieve new mail" that led me to investigate deeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RomanZ Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 @Turoab It is not supported for mobile apps due to limited storage space. .SyncArchive exists only for Desktop versions of BTSync. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
