GreatMarko Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 I also have some wishes:- BTSync portable for windows (on linux it's portable by default)A forum member, MRACHINI, has previously posted a way to make it portable on Windows. I've not tested this myself, but his instructions can be found in this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 A forum member, MRACHINI, has previously posted a way to make it portable on Windows. I've not tested this myself, but his instructions can be found in this threadThis is not exactly portable, there's still the problem with relative paths not working (even when modifying the sync.dat manually to e.g. "..\sync")Also if the settings.dat isn't available at all, the .exe turns into an installer. The sync.dat is portable ... sort of.However, thanks for the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remraf Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Portable App - Run from flash driveI recently ran into this issue with dropbox. I had to use a computer which I did not have install privileges on and was forced to use a flash drive and resync a bunch of files to dropbox. It was a pain.Sync is working great for me so far.thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0UL Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 aid85, bittorrent sync is already portable. just the download btsyc.exe and make a file called settings.dat.this works great, the only problem is that when drive letter change is stop syncing.(missing folder) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisH Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Especially since the known workaround does not work on 1.4 anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piotrnik Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 I would also appreciate this, though it's not critical for my use case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impet Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 I also vote for this function! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anyone Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 please bring portable support back. All the bittorrent apps has this function, why Sync is a exception? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zone Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 To me that an extremely important feature! I often work with many computers where I need files. Due to the nature of my work it's not productive or in some cases not possible to install the program on a host machine. Please make this portable and runnable without elevated privileges.

Moe Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Which OS and do you also mean using the API?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0xDEADC0DE Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Windows. With BTSync 1.3 you only had to have a settings.dat in your local folder. This doesn't work anymore since 1.4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destiny Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 +1 Sync is great, but it doesn't install/work on machines without elevation rights. Portable option would be really (really) usefull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halon314 Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 +1 !!! - Need a portable version! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhagerty Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I have a situation where I have a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure that I use as a daily desktop. I cannot install software in this environment, as it refreshes and reassigns me each time i log in. As such, BtSync is unusable for me until a portable solution is available. Please comment on whether this feature is going to make the road map or not. Thanks, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 + for portable. I do not have admin rights on my work laptop and therefore cannot install. I much prefer BTSync as it has proven a great resource in the past but the older "portable" versions aren't cutting it anymore. Please bring this functionality back.

jeuser Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 Hi, I'm wondering if there exist any news. I've got the same problem like Scooter. Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 As always consult your local IT department with the request to have Sync installed on your machine. There are reasons to not be able to install software on corporate computers. As of right now, I don't know of any plans to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
