Quick External Hard Drive Question


Recommended Posts

This is a dumb question, but I'm obviously new to this and want to make sure I know what I'm doing. I've added a folder from my external hard drive (372 GB) and my employer needs to access these files. If I remove the external hard drive will it delete my folder on Bittorent Sync? And also, does the external hard drive have to be connected for my employer to access the files?

The files are not going to be removed. Starting from version 1.2 BTSync understands when the whole media is removed and won't delete files from other peers.

 

However, if the PC with Ext HDD is only one which has the data - it need to be connected to transfer data to your employer. If you have another peer with the same secret, then Ext HDD is not necessary - this another peer can seed the data.
