jeuser Posted October 18, 2017 Report Posted October 18, 2017 Hi Moe, there exist Portable Versions for Dropbox, Evernote, OwnCloud etc. This can't be the right answer from a security point of view. Quote
Moe Posted October 19, 2017 Report Posted October 19, 2017 Well I can't speak for any vendor that produces software but from a Sysadmin perspective I can tell you that people try to install all kinds of software and especially Syncing software is a tricky thing. You won't know what data they sync off or on to corporate clients. That's why it is a security risk in some cases if you don't talk with your local IT department about it. If you show them what it's doing and why you need it, they will probably wanna check it out and install it for you. As a sysadmin: if you see P2P Traffic in your network and you don't know why it's there; that's bad. I can totally understand that as a normal user you wouldn't know all these aspects and don't need to know them. But you need to understand why certain things can't or won't be installed on corporate devices. Quote
jeuser Posted October 19, 2017 Report Posted October 19, 2017 Hi Moe, I can completly understand you. In my case I would accept the risk because I don't do bad things. But I also believe that there exists other use cases where a portable client makes sense. And for those use cases I can't understand why Resilio doesn't offer such a version. Quote
GreatMarko Posted October 19, 2017 Report Posted October 19, 2017 22 hours ago, jeuser said: there exist Portable Versions for Dropbox, Evernote, OwnCloud etc. There actually exists portable versions of Sync - however, this feature was officially dropped some time ago as of Sync 1.2.82 (although continued to work for early 1.3.x builds too)... so if you can find one of those builds, you can run Sync portable. Otherwise, this thread is certainly the right place to request that portability be brought back Quote
Vince42 Posted November 16, 2017 Report Posted November 16, 2017 A portable version would be awesome. *bump* Quote
CodeKnight Posted August 4 Report Posted August 4 I really want to see a Portable Version of resilio sync as i want to have it installed on a portable HDD. I want to have encrypted folders of my files on these portable HDD and then give them out to my friends to leave connected to their PC's to affectively create a remote backup of my files. Portable would make this easy and straight forwards, with everything already setup, instead of having to do it manually on each device. Quote
Andy+ Posted August 15 Report Posted August 15 This would be good and also relay servers for IP´s with Port 443. Quote
