tjluoma Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Over the past week or so, I have noticed that when I add new folders to my various Macs (all running 2.0.105), the folders do not always appear on the other Macs. I have to manually share them with myself in order to get them to appear. For example, today I created a folder called 'ASermonForEverySunday' and shared it on my Mac mini, but it has not yet appeared on my MacBook Pro. I have restarted BTS on both Macs.

tjluoma Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 3 days later, they're all updated with the newest version of BTS, but none of them have this new folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 @tjluomaDo you have Sync Pro / Free? Sync Free does not distribute new folders via My Devices and they have to be distributed manually using links. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunarfox Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I too am having this problem, but can not seem to find any documentation on how to manually share a single folder. Every article says that once the folder is added on one device, it will then share on other connected devices. Also worth noting, with newly added devices, I only get 1 of my 2 folders showing up. The third folder I added today has yet to come up on any of my devices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 @lunarfoxTo add the folder manually you need simply to click "Share" on one computer and add the link (via browser or manual connection) on another. Are you running Free / Pro? Free version does not distribute folders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjluoma Posted June 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I do have pro. It's still not sharing folders, sometimes. Other times it works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 @tjluomaTechnically, the list of your folders distributed also via classic 1.4 shared folder. So in case you got PRO on all your peers and folders does not distribute very likely indicates the fact that peers can't connect by some reason.I wonder if other folders are syncing fine when your new folder does not appear on another peer?

lunarfox Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) I am running the free version. I would be tempted to buy the pro version if it was a one time charge instead of an annual fee. I wasn't seeing the share option, but an update fixed that! My fault there. I'm still perplexed as to how all this works because I set up a new server computer today and it automatically started syncing the two newest folders, but doesn't see the older folder that my other devices only see. So basically, most of my devices automatically see and sync folder A, but ignore folders B and C; but the newest installation sees and is syncing B and C but is ignoring folder A. By the sound of it, since it's the free version it shouldn't see or sync anything until I add a link. This whole system is confusing. Is it just left overs from the trial period? And either way, what's the point of "linking" devices if you still have to manually add folders? The whole thing is just confusing and tempting me to go back to v1.4. Edit: Interestingly enough, the new machine just randomly added the last folder before flashing "Licence Expired". I'm not complaining but it's still perplexing to me! Can anyone clear this up please? Edited June 6, 2015 by lunarfox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 @lunarfoxThe main point of linking devices for free version is to avoid extra approvals. If you got some link from other user and want to share it to 2 of your computers, you'll need 2 approvals if they are not linked. Edit: Interestingly enough, the new machine just randomly added the last folder before flashing "Licence Expired". I'm not complaining but it's still perplexing to me! Can anyone clear this up please? Trial version is pretty much like a pro. When you've got rests of a trial - Sync managed to deliver new folder information to other peers in your "My devices" list.
