upcboy Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 One thing I'd like to request is for Sync app to run as a service as it is on my server I must be logged in for files to sync. If this ran as a service and synced with my other Headless linux server that would be amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intrigued-user Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 The BitTorrent Sync website lacks some important information. Does the Windows version of BitTorrent Sync run as a Windows service that works no matter whether users are logged in? If not, that is another wish I would like fulfilled please. It is also very important that Sync cannot only do its job when no one is logged in, but it must also do it for multiple users even if one or more are logged in. An example for the importance of this is that I would like to have each user's personal laptop sync'ing to her personal home folders on a common desktop computer.

kos13 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Could you please check if you have any error message in event viewer?1. right click my computer2. click manage3. goto: computer management -> systeme tools -> event viewer -> application4. look for a Red X and type “error”, then make sure the “source” is the same service that you have trouble starting.

GreatMarko Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Kos, will future builds of BitTorrent Sync provide the option to natively install/run as a service, or will the "workaround" method you outline in this post become the "official" way to install BitTorrent Sync as a service on Windows?

kos13 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 We will implement service for Sync, meanwhile you could use workaround. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addyjj Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 I am not sure if this has been requested yet, but it would be nice if the sync client would stay connected after logging out of operating system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
