Turoab Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 A folder A is shared amoung computers B and C. The Read-Only permissions are given to B and C. Question: Are B and C computers attempt to sync with each other as well or only with A? Assitance would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Yes - read-only nodes using the same secret can share files from a full-access node between each other as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turoab Posted May 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 One more question: When a new version of an existing file shows up on the master, how is the file on the Read-Only node updated? Is the old version of the file on the Read-Only node deleted before the new version is downloaded? Is there any time that the existing file on the Read-Only node inaccessible during the sync? Thanks.

nellie4568 Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 If you are UPDATING a file the changes are all incremental. The file is not deleted until the changed parts are received, then the file is updated. A backup (versioned) copy is created in the .SyncArchive folder. Same with name changes on a file. However if you MOVE a file from one location (eg folder) to another on the master the file is first deleted on other clients, then is created anew in the new location. Some developer feel free to correct me but after almost a year of using this software these are the file changes I see on a daily basis.
