ktm583 Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 I have a laptop and a desktop computer, which has six user profiles. I have Sync set up on both of them and it syncs just fine as long as I am logged in on both computers and on my home network( I have not yet tried it outside of my network). However, if I am only logged into my laptop and I am not logged into the desktop or another user is logged in on the desktop, it well not sync. Is there a way to set Sync up so that I only have to be logged on to one computer for it to Sync? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 It's not currently possible to natively install & run Sync as a Windows Service (so that it can run even if you're logged off) A number of unofficial workarounds do exist - just search the forums for "windows service" - in particular see this thread where you can also add your voice/vote/support for a native Windows Service.

Guest Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) We are running Sync as a service on a Windows Server 2k8R2 and it works like a charm. The only restriction is, that we have to stop the service if we want to access the Sync GUI. Edited December 18, 2014 by Nigcra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm583 Posted December 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 I tried to create a BTSync service however it will not start up; manually or automatically. I have turned on automatic start up for the service and turned off automatic start up in the GUI. To create the service typed this into an Administrator CMD: sc create "BTSync" binpath= "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bit Torrent Sync\BTSync.exe" Have any suggestions?

love2scoot Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 I have a detailed how-to for running btsync as a service on page 4 in the thread linked to above by GreatMarko. I can confirm this works very well and have already sync'd near 100GB internationally using this method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
