Crocus Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Hello, I use BitTorrent Sync for several months.Currently, I lose sync Android side.I created a sync, it works, then after 2 or 3 days, I get the message "Can not identify the destination folder", always on the same directories.I deleted the sync and I have redone, but the problem comes back after 2 or 3 days.

RomanZ Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 @Crocus, This error pops up when the sync folder does not contain the .syncid file anymore (someone or some app has delete it) or the file is invalid (was copied by mistake from other peer). Could you please check if the file is there? Note, that it is hidden so you'll need some file browser with ability to see hidden files. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crocus Posted April 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 .syncid is actually missing...I recreated the directory sync and .syncid is there. For how long? .... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RomanZ Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 @Crocus, Right question would be on how come it is missing - is it some issue in BTSync, some 3rd party app or accidental deletion? If it was accidentally removed - it is not a huge issue, while if it is issue in BTSync I'd like to capture it. Please let me know if issue pops up again. BTW, if it does - don't hesitate to tap the "Send feedback" ASAP - maybe we'll get the issue trace in the log. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crocus Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 The problem reappeared, still on the same directories.Others are never affected. Feedback sent with log. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RomanZ Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 @Crocus, Thanks for the feedback. We'll do our best to understand what is happening. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crocus Posted April 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 This is probably DailyRoad Voyager makes cleaning in its directory and deletes .syncid I'll try write protecting .syncid =>it will not work, BTsync seems to need to write to the file. Note: It's weird because .SyncIgnore is not deleted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RomanZ Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 @Crocus, Write-protecting .syncID is not an option - BTSync needs it to write data to it. .SyncIgnore is slightly different from .SyncID: .SyncIgnore contains textual data in UTF-8 encoding, while .SyncID is pure binary file. I'm not familiar with DailyRoad Voyager, but it might have some more complex logic on files cleanup. BTW, what makes you thing that DRV is the app responsible for syncID deletion?

Crocus Posted May 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Hello. I did some tests, it is DailyRoad that scans its directory and deletes some files, especially. SyncIdWhy store files BTSync configuration directories ? I suggest that the configuration files are stored in a single directory dedicated to BTSync. It would be possible ?

RomanZ Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 @Crocus Currently Sync has to store his service files in the folder it syncs - and removing these files will cease it to function. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crocus Posted June 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 I understand your answer :-)It is envisaged that the change in a future version?Sorry to up this topic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
