fooble Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 I know when deleting pictures on my computer, they wont get deleted on my iPhone. I assume, apple forbids writing access to the pictures on the iPhone from apps. However, when i delete pictures on my iPhone, they also don't get deleted on my computer. Why is that? Or am i doing something wrong? If i want to clean up my foros, do i really have to do it twice? Once on my iPhone, and again on my computer?

ICE Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Please see help (http://sync-help.bittorrent.com/customer/portal/articles/1642614), or search forum. To answer your first question: Sync for mobile devices has a special "Backup" function. Technically, backup adds a folder on a mobile device and shares a Read Only Key. However, there is one major difference between a regular Read Only share and a backup: if any data gets deleted from your mobile device, it is not deleted from the peers who possess the backup Key. It means that your backup computer is going to accumulate Pictures / Music / whatever data you decided to backup. I cannot really answer your second question.You have to add a read & write share to your phone to sync changes (sorry don't know if or how that's possible on ios).

fooble Posted September 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Thanks, i didn't find that. As i sad, i assume that it's not possible for btsync to delete pictures on my iPhone, because apple forbids it. However, btsync could delete pictures on my computer, when they where deleted on my iPhone(ar least, i can't see a reason why not). I would like to know why this is not the case.Is this maybe worth a feature request? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 @foobleIt's not sort of feature - it is request to change the design. Sync intentionally does not delete pics on your PC when you remove them on iPhone. It is a backup and it wants to save you from accidental removal.
