tookaway Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Is there any way in Windows OS to make BT Sync show pop-up notifications once any files get synchronized? I see a "show notifications" option in the preference, but I do not see any notification regardless of whether the option is checked or unchecked. I have BT Sync installed on three machines, one with Windows 7 and two with Windows 10, and I'm having the same issue on all of them.

Remirus Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 tookaway, Prior 2.1.3 version Sync notified users about it, but many users have complained about it so we removed it. But we'll try to make an option so you'll be able to configure which notification you would like to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tookaway Posted November 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Thanks. Such an option would be very useful. tookaway, Prior 2.1.3 version Sync notified users about it, but many users have complained about it so we removed it.

DizzyBadger Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 I second that. I would like sync notifications similar to dropbox, where I get notified via desktop notification when someone else adds or updates files in a shared folder. Throttling of notifications would also be nice. If there are more than one file being changed or added at a short interval I would get something like "15 files were deleted from folder1 by user4". Turning it on or off by folder seems like a smart option to me. Lets say I have a folder used to share photos with my SAR-team. Every time someone adds or changes a file in this folder, I would like to be notified. Maybe I have another folder used for taking a backup of my phone. Then I might not want notification, so OI switch them off for that folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0nsoon Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Is there a way to get popups when new files are added? I have turned on notifications, but that does not seem to do anything. Running Windows 2.3.7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Sorry, but this kind of notification (per file in particular) is not implemented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0nsoon Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Is this coming or is it just not a feature you guys want to implement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 I used to be there, but was removed after multiple users' requests to remove it, so I don't think it's coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0nsoon Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Why would you not just make it optional? There is a button for it already, just make it actually work? I just dont know how to know when friends add files to our shared folders. Notifications seems pretty important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helen Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 this feature is in the wishlist, so may be implemented in a while. We wish we could make all the features asked for right away, but we have to choose. In a meanwhile you can check the new files added in History. I know that it's not that cool as a popup.

fungustrooper Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Any word on this? I was honestly pretty surprised to find it doesn't exist. I share my art, and am in other artists folders, and at the moment nobody ever knows when someone's added something. History doesn't even work, since it's just a list of "finished syncing with x_user". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersaiyansubtlety Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 I would also like more customization of notifications. I currently get notified about time differences being exceeded and don't think I really need them, but want other more important notifications to come through.

Itchy Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Can we get an update on progress with this feature request? It would be very useful to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fungustrooper Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Nearly 2 years since the last admin post on the subject. I wonder if this is still "in the whitelist"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk MD Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 Notifications of updates are extremely helpful for conditional file dropping rules. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
