azry3l Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I'm trying to sync some files between two computers, both are Windows 7 and both are on the same timezone (UTC-08:00). Both show a status with the green checkmark, yet the folder on the target PC is empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 If you're seeing an "Excessive Time Difference Between Peers" error it means the system time on one or more of your devices is incorrect. Please see this article in the Sync Help Center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galyna Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 Help me with Excessive time difference error this article in the Sync Help Center doesn't help. Both my computers have equal time zone and time. And the same OS.One of them show me "Excessive time difference" for all folders: old ones synced without any problem within few mouth and just created new ones. I cant mention exactly what time this trouble have started. (of course i have restarted new sync, app, comp. with no positive result) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 Both my computers have equal time zone and time. And the same OS. Have you tried syncing them both to the same internet time server just to be absolutely sure they are identical? As per the help article, "if any of your peers has invalid time (or, which is more often - invalid TimeZone) - the time difference becomes suspiciously significant (1 hour or more) and Sync gives you a warning". There are no other instances under which you'll e seeing an "Excessive Time Difference Between Peers" warning - it will be the time/date/timezone/DST settings on the system clock on one or both of your devices.

RomanZ Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 @GalynaI suspect that you may be affected by daylight saving time (which was recently switched to winter time in number of countries). What does the commands / scripts from article show you when you run it? It should show difference in GMT time if DST is invalid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
