Belov-SL Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) I've got "Error: Can't open the destination folder" for my one folder. It seems that folder path was suddenly changed in sync.dat . It was "C:\Users\Sergey\Sync" (directory junction to "E:\Home\Sergey\Sync"). Now it "C:\Home\Sergey\Sync".I tryed restoring sync.dat but it changes again.How to fix this trouble? Or I must rollback to older version? My system:Windows 7 x64 SP1 Pro (all updates are installed)BitTorrent Sync 1.3.94Intel Core i3-322016 GB DDR3 I deleted the folder in BitTorrent Sync and tryed to add "C:\Users\Sergey\Sync" but got error "Can't open the destination folder".

Helen Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Belov-SL, where the folder is actually located in your Explorer - C:\Users\..... or C:\Home\....? Error "Can't open the destination folder" means that the folder was deleted, renamed or moved to another directory in Explorer. The simplest way is to remove it from BTSync and re-add it again (you will need to confirm ownership). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belov-SL Posted May 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) Thanks for response. Folder is located in "E:\Home\Sergey\Sync" (another partition; FS: NTFS; size: 170 MB)."C:\Users\Sergey\Sync" is directory junction (similar to UNIX symbolic link) to "E:\Home\Sergey\Sync"."C:\Home\Sergey\Sync" doesn't exist. I already tryed to re-add "C:\Users\Sergey\Sync" and got error. "E:\Home\Sergey\Sync" was added successfully. Why junctions doesn't work in BitTorrent Sync 1.3.94?

rymo4u Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 This is frustrating. Directory junctions worked just fine right before I updated 10 minutes ago. Now I'm getting a "Can't open the destination folder." error, and all of my sync directives are broken. Please allow junctions to continue.

netrex Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I have the same, I changed nothing, not moved a thing. I removed the folder from BTSync, added again, still the same message. Windows Phone 8.1, BT Sync BETA Version: 1.3.14.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 @all, No, adding junctions as synced folder is not supported anymore. Yes, it was possible in v1.2., but not in 1.3. Though junctions inside a synced folder (normal folder) will work. Sorry for the inconveniences, we will consider enabling them back in one of future releases. So far, please, use ordinary folders.
