azmodone Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 How do I get a key from the backup feature of the Android app. I actually need the key and not a link. Since the link launches the sync program on my computer. I need to grab the actual key, so I can update the key on a linux NAS host.

capi Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 You can copy/paste the link and enter it in the key field, it will accept both, key and link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azmodone Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 doesnt work. the link has https://link.getsync.com/....bunchofstrings. I'm pretty sure I need to delete parts of that link to get the right key. Its not documented anywhere which parts are not needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RomanZ Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 @azmodoneYou can paste the link into the "Enter key or link" in Sync's WebUI. Sync for Linux designed in a way that it accepts both keys and links. If it does not accept Link - it is a bug. What does UI show you when you attempt to paste the link?

azmodone Posted January 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Thanks, I found the place where you can insert link. Not use to it since, you use to do it where the folder is and hit update key. It got moved to the gear icon. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
