Upgrading From 1.4.111 And Linking Devices Destroys Previous Shares

A week or so ago I upgraded to Pro to experiment with the new 2.0 features. I have two machines that I am syncing. One is a desktop with literally millions of files from a rather large development project extending Chromium. The other machine is a Surface and only imports subsections of the project over two directories.

 

So imagine my surprise when I upgraded from 1.4.111 on the Surface and all 17 shares were imported on to the Surface from my main desktop after I linked the two devices.

 

The Surface was setup to fully sync; so it started to download the whole project. The BT Sync client immediately locked up. In a panic, since my disk space was quickly filling up, I quickly killed the internet connection. After several crashes and wasting time sitting through the ten minute long load screen I was able to start to disconnect the shares that I didn't need on the Surface.

 

This is incredibly bad behavior.

 

Please in the future ask users what shares they want to import or at the very least start them in a disconnected state. Don't just assume all shares are wanted uniformly across all devices.

 

Even worse I just discovered that apparently deleting a share on one machine will now delete it on the other device. This is just getting ridiculous. I never had half the number of problems with ViceVersa Pro.
