Move Bit Torrent Sync To A New Location

I have used Read Only secrets to sync my files one way to an offsite location.

 

Is it possible to move the location these are syncing to, without re-syncing all the data we already have?

 

Same goes for the onsite active data, Can i move the onsite location of this, but still keep the sync'd data?

 

Hope that make sense,

So, just to clarify - as your topic title is somewhat misleading - you're not actually trying to move the BitTorrent Sync application itself to another location, but rather one of the folders you're syncing?

 

In which case, the process is as follows:

  1. Note down the secret for the folder you wish to move
  2. Remove the folder from Sync
  3. Move the folder to its new location
  4. Add the folder back to Sync using the original secret

 

Sync will re-index the folder, but assuming it was fully in sync before you moved it, no data will transfer after the re-indexing is complete.
