lugiank Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Hi, i cant figure out how to change the device name in bittorrent sync 1.4, can you help me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 I'm gonna assume you're referring to the desktop apps? In which case, you'll find this setting via Options (cog icon) -> Preferences -> Device Name -> Edit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICE Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 @GreatMarkoYou can change device name, because you haven't created a fingerprint yet. Once you create a fingerprint (for example by using the new v1.4 link sharing features) you shouldn't also be able to change device name. @lugiankAs far as I know the only way to change device name is to completly remove sync (or at least settings) and set it up from scratch, because the device name is used to build your fingerprint and that should be unique. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxp Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I made a mistake when setting up the device name and need to change it. I don't see an "Edit" link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
