dole Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Hi, i have encountered a strange behavior concerning the selective sync function. When I (selective) sync a folder on device A, all subfolders and files are synced as intended. But when new files from device B were stored in this folder, they were not automatically synced to device A altough this folder was chosen to sync. On device A I have to click again on the sync button in the webinterface for each new subfolder and file which was created by device B. This is annoying since a check of the web interface is always necessary. The described problem occurs on windows and synology. Furthermore I have a proposal to improve the selective sync functionality. When I pick files and folders from selective sync folder I would like to have always the opportunity to click "sync" for the whole folder afterwards, in case I decide to sync it completly.

Syncing a folder is just a one-time request to sync all files in that folder (or subfolders). It's not 'sticky' in the sense that new additions to that folder get synced as well. The behaviour of Sync differs from that of Dropbox et al., in this respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dole Posted February 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Okay, I hope this will be fixed soon since this is a big restriction of usability. Is there a plan to implement this in the upcoming releases? Best regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
