Remirus Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 israel israeli, Sync doesn't ask root permissions. But if you have root access there is a way to add /data/ folder. To do that give 777 permissions to /data (or at least rwx permissions for "others") then try to pickup that folder choosing "internal memory" while adding the folder. Please note that you need to give read-write permissions (or at least read permissions) for all folders which you want to synchronize in data. If you give read-write permissions to /data/data you might encounter an issue when Sync consumes too much RAM after you launch it because in that case Sync would constantly scan and upload sync.log file and other it's own system files.
