RJDavison Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Im using BTS to sync between the computer and a NAS. All works fine. I've notied though that BTS is copying alot of its own .db files. I've looked, and a couple of these are very large, in excess of 3GB. The folder that is being copied is about 191GB. Is this normal ?

You don't say what OS your computer is running? ...but if, as an example, it's Windows, make sure you're NOT syncing your %AppData%/Roaming/BitTorrent Sync folder to other devices. In essence, don't sync BitTorrent Sync itself across your devices! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJDavison Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Sorry, its a Mac thats Syncing to a QNAP NAS. I've just synced the whole of my home folder which contains this set of files. Guess I should use syncignore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I should use syncignore. Yes, I merely used Windows as an example, but the same principle applies; Don't sync BitTorrent Sync itself across your devices. You can indeed use .SyncIgnore to exclude this, or perhaps consider whether you really need to sync your home folder in its entirety anyway?
