MerceanCoconut Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 I have Bittorrent Sync 1.4.93 on Windows 7. This is the first time I've tried adding a sync folder by email. I get has far as my browser trying to open a btsync:// link and not knowing what to do with it. I have checked the default programs and there is no btsync:// protocol available. I'm guessing that somewhere during the upgrade process this was missed. Anyone else with this problem? I assume I need to add the protocol and link it to the btsync client. I'm not sure how to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anh Huynh Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 aha this is the most confusing thing ; I also has the same problem. The only way to avoid this: don't use that feature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 @MerceanCoconutIt looks like btsync was not registered during upgrade in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. It's rather simple to fix. I'm attaching a reg file - it associates btsync:// with btsync app. Please make sure that path is correct (it may change depending on x86/x64 version of Sync). @icymatterNo, this is not the only way. Fixing the registry or reinstalling Sync should fix it.fix_link_open.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anh Huynh Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 That's good. But how can you use that on .... Linux? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 It doesn't work in that way on Linux at all. If you've got a link - just go to "Enter key" option and copypaste link there. Sync will accept it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixing the registry or reinstalling Sync should fix it. Sync was installed in Program Files (x86), so I decided to reinstall and grab the 64 bit version while I was at it. That did indeed register the protocol. I was pleased to see that uninstalling didn't remove existing sync directories. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
