Hello all,

 

I just tried bittorrent sync for the first time and I love the idea of it. However, in reality I'm having trouble getting it to work correctly. I have a folder shared to me from another computer. When I delete, rename, or edit files, the versioning doesn't seem to work on my computer. The SyncArchive folder is empty. There are no deleted files or previous versions. I noticed that the computer that shared it's files originally to me has my edits and versions and deleted files. Any idea as to why my indiviudal computer's SyncArchive isn't working?

 

Thanks ahead of time.

I think you may have misunderstood how archiving/versioning works.

 

Let's say you have two devices A and B sharing a single folder. If you delete a file from A it isn't added to the .SyncArchive on device A, but rather the corresponding file on device B is moved to the .SyncArchive on device B.
