Resync By Readonly Secret Afer Pause : Is It Possible?

Recommended Posts

Hello!

 

I have two computers working under Windows 7, syncing a folder, size over 1500 gigabytes.

 

Computer A has master-key, computer B has no key currently and I want to give it read-only key. (that situation appears because of OS reinstalling). Both comuters has now currently similar folders, I just want to connect them again.

 

But when I add a read-only key to computer B and point it to the folder, it starts redownloading data from computer A. Is there any way to make "resync", without redownloading all the data again?

 

Thank you!

By design Sync should not resend information if files are actually the same. Though, Sync will have to resend all the metadata information (file properties, hashes, etc.) for all the files to actually compare if they are the same. Give Sync 5 minutes to sync metadata, it should not start actually sync files unless they changed indeed.
