iswrong Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Thanks a lot! It's great that encrypted folders are now an official feature. IMO it's one of the killer BTSync features. Selective Sync on Linux is also awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megalith Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 I didn't even know there was a 64-bit version---is it safe to upgrade from the 32-bit version to the 64-bit version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megalith Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) Do you mean for Windows? 64-bit is definitely safe to install if you have a 64-bit Windows installation.. Yes, but what I am worried about is installing the 64-bit version over the 32-bit version without uninstalling the latter first. Should be fine, I guess. Edited January 21, 2016 by Megalith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Rudov Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Yes, but what I am worried about is installing the 64-bit version over the 32-bit version without uninstalling the latter first. Should be fine, I guess. Yes it should work without any issues, but I would recommend you to backup your settings before making such upgrade (just make a copy of %appdata%\BitTorrent Sync) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustmite Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Should I wait for auto-update on already installed clients, or grab the latest desktop and install manually? When is the auto update due to rollout? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalith Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) Okay, I am totally confused. I installed Sync as a service and the program and GUI is completely gone. Is this normal?

Vince42 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 I prefer to install btsync on my Linux server from a repository, but the yeasoft repository does not offer 2.3 yet - any idea when it will be available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Should I wait for auto-update on already installed clients, or grab the latest desktop and install manually? It's entirely up to you! Â When is the auto update due to rollout? It may be a few weeks - it depends on whether there are any serious issues discovered after today's release that need to be addressed before 2.3 is pushed out via auto-update I prefer to install btsync on my Linux server from a repository, but the yeasoft repository does not offer 2.3 yet - any idea when it will be available? The YeaSoft repository hasn't been updated in a while - it's author & maintainer, tuxpoldo, hasn't been around here on the forums now for nearly a year, and the Sync team have been unable to make contact with him. It's therefore safe to assume that tuxpoldo's unofficial builds won't be updated any time soon. Okay, I am totally confused. I installed Sync as a service and the program and GUI is completely gone. Is this normal? (All that is shown "BitTorrent Sync Service" under Programs and Features.) Yes, that's normal - when Sync is installed and running as a Windows Service there's no system tray icon. The UI is instead accessed via your web browser (i.e. 127.0.0.1:8888) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeropluszero Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Thank you very much for this update I've migrated to the service easely but on second thought, i would like to go back to the previous mode. I can't find how to though ? i've reinstalled the app, but it start empty now (service is still installed)Could you help me rolling back without loosing my folders ? Regards, Edit : or maybe coud there be a way to have the service installed, but with the app window ?(I found it painfull to use a browser for admin ... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
advhound Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Regarding the new Encrypted folder sync option, what is the best way to convert a standard folder sync relationship that is already established to be encrypted? In other words, I have 2 off-site peers that act as a backup. There is a large amount of data (~1 TB) synced, what is the best way to encrypt the data stored on those peers without having to re-sync the data?

RomanZ Posted January 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 @zeropluszeroWhen you migrate Sync to service, it leaves a backup of all your data in a folder named "%appdata%\BitTorrent Sync\backup_XXXXXXXX" (where xxxx is timstamp in UNXTIME) for your old user. So technically you can roll it back: uninstall sync-the-service, copy files from backup to "%appdata%\BitTorrent Sync", and install regular Sync. And no, when running as service only webui is available. Note that it has advantage - you can reach it from other computers in network to admin. @advhoundUnfortunately, you can't pre-populate encrypted folders. You can only fill them by syncing data. The only way i can think of is to make similar VM (similar = all the paths and usernames are the same as for your off-site peers), sync to them in LAN and then drop them (=both data and sync service folders) to offsite computer, keeping all paths intact.

mintwurm Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Some time ago, I bought sync pro and then found out that selective sync is not available on Linux. I posted quite a few complaints on the forums. Now I would like to thank you. You implemented this feature extremely fast. Amazing customer service. Now I can recommend this to all my friends - most of which are die-hard linux users - as a full-fledged backup alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulU Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Hi, a little unsure how to use/implement encrypted folder capability.I have a cloud server, PC (+ other devices) all under my identity.If I wish to have data held encrypted on my cloud server, can you talk me through the steps to do this ? At present, whenever I create a new share (initiated on PC) - it automatically appears on the cloud server & syncs as-is. Thanks.

iswrong Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 I have a cloud server, PC (+ other devices) all under my identity.If I wish to have data held encrypted on my cloud server, can you talk me through the steps to do this ? At present, whenever I create a new share (initiated on PC) - it automatically appears on the cloud server & syncs as-is. The server needs its own identity, otherwise the read-write key will just propagate to the server (as you noticed). When the server has its own identity, you can add folders independently and link a folder using the read-only encrypted key. The process of unlinking the server and creating a new identity is described at: http://help.getsync.com/hc/en-us/articles/205457815-Sync-Private-Identity-Linking-My-Devices (See "Unlinking your device".)

RomanZ Posted January 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 @Andy+That's correct. It happened likely due to fact that Syno devs divided Synology native apps and 3rd party apps. Try upgrading to Beta 2 and reinstalling Sync, should work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulU Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Thanks all.Just to check - as a home (non-Pro) user, your licence allows me to have different identities for home devices + a separate one for the server ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 When you buy a pro license you can add that license up to 10 individual identities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
