TMCT Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 I use Sync to sync a folder between my PC (read-only) and Android. Before upgrading to 2.2, I had done this a few dozen times -- with my desktop Sync open, I open the Android app, and changes made to the folder on desktop are synced to the folder on my phone. No problem. But this time, the old version of the folder on my phone overwrote the changes I made to the folder on desktop. The desktop folder is supposed to be read-only (and has always worked that way); however, I don't even know where that's indicated in the desktop UI. Basically, I'm looking to find out where I went wrong so I keep trusting Sync. Just lost two RNG passwords and I'd rather it be my fault than Sync's.

A read-only share cannot propagate changes to folders on other machines. It does not mean that the files in that folder cannot be overwritten. In other words, if the desktop uses a read-only key and the phone a read-write key, changes on the phone are synced to the desktop. Changes on the desktop are not synced to the phone (since the desktop only has read-only access to the folder). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
