stregabber Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Hi to all! I'm a newbie with Linux (my xubuntu is 3.2.0-67-generic #101-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 15 17:46:11 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux) and i had installed the previous version of btsync 1.3. Everything was working ok. Then i tryied to install the new versio and btsync starts running, but when i try to open the link i send from my nexus5 to my email address it gives me this error: Failed to open URI "btsync://link.getsync.com/?"NAME OF THE LINK" The specified location is not supported I tried to uninstall and re-install btsync (with apt-get) but with no success. It's probably something easy but I really don't get what the problem is. I installed the repositories as explained in this forum for the new version 1.4.I hope u can help me cause the program was running fine before and it's the best way to backup my phone. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuxpoldo Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 This is a new feature of BitTorrent Sync 1.4 but it works only with the native GUI for Windows and Mac OSX. There is a workaround for Linux: when you get an http://link.getsync.com/ link, do not click on it and do not open it in the browser. Instead you have to enter this link in the BitTorrent Sync Web UI using the function: "enter Link" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatere Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 That doesn't work. The Web UI just says "This link is invalid". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinger4 Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 That doesn't work. The Web UI just says "This link is invalid". Try reload your gui and try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
