kcant1 Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) I've got an Android phone whose pictures are synced to my desktops. Today I noticed that for whatever reason the entire directory was cleared out, on every machine. Luckily the files were still in my desktop's .SyncTrash. History confirms that the Android version deleted everything at 1:50 PM on Wednesday, and the desktops followed suit. I'm very disturbed by this, because it's not the first time BT Sync has happily deleted all synced copies of a file. A few weeks ago I uploaded a large file to my desktop in order to transfer it to the same directory on my phone. BT Sync finished uploading it (as I watched), and then froze the phone. I waited 20 minutes before doing a hard reboot, at which point Sync replaced that file with a 0 B version of itself on every machine. Unfortunately, I had debug logging turned off. It's on now and I extended my SyncArchive time to a year, but I'm disturbed nonetheless. Edited June 21, 2014 by kcant1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 @kcant1 Do you have any other application that might work actively with the files in sync folders? It might reveal the issue why files are gone (all the apps are very different on how they actually work with the file). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcant1 Posted June 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 AFAIK, no. It's the default camera directory, though, and I guess it's possible that some shitty TouchWiz app might try to act with them. (I disabled most after rooting it, but you never know.)
