Portable Version Of Sync

[robinabo]

Make it portable. Because portable apps are awesome. And also because i'd be able to carry me entire workplace around on a stick

[GreatMarko]

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

This 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.

Portable App - Run from flash drive

I 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

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)

For completeness, the following users also previously requested such features in the original Wishlist thread:
 

- BTSync portable for windows (on linux it's portable by default)

A portable APP for windows, so no need to install anything

1) To have both install and portable versions.

windows portable version of btsync: in this way you can use it also where there is no way to regular install (without admin power)

Please count my voice for portable version too!!!

[ChrisH]

Especially since the known workaround does not work on 1.4 anymore.

[piotrnik]

I would also appreciate this, though it's not critical for my use case.

[impet]

I also vote for this function!

[anyone]

please bring portable support back. All the bittorrent apps has this function, why Sync is a exception? 

[Zone]

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.

+1 for Portable Version

[jollyb]

Portable Version is always a plus, for any software.

[merlinuwe]

+1 for a portable release of bittorrent sync. Some months ago it was available and should be reimplemented.

Now would be the right time to do it.

Happy christmas to all developers and supporters.

When will we get a portable version again?

I just want to extract it and launch it with a settings file.

Is this ever planned again?

[Moe]

Which OS and do you also mean using the API?!

[0xDEADC0DE]

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

+1 for portable

[Destiny]

+1 Sync is great, but it doesn't install/work on machines without elevation rights. Portable option would be really (really) usefull.

[halon314]

+1 !!!   -  Need a portable version!

[jhagerty]

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,

+ 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.

Hi,

I'm wondering if there exist any news.

I've got the same problem like Scooter.

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.
