RNMerchant Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 I cannot figure this "apparently simple" question out. I want to sync my "d:\document" folder on my desktop to my "c:\document" folder on my laptop. Both have the Sync program installed. It seems like I should be able to very simply say on one computer that I want to sync folder A on this computer to folder B on this computer ("peer") but, if that is so, it is very obscure. I'm sure it can be easily done but can anyone point me to that route... This would be a little more relevant if the folders had different names but even that is not obvious to me how to do, and the instructions are completely silent on this issue insofar as I can figure. Does it matter which computer I start on? Thanks Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 add folder to Sync on A, send link/key to laptop B, paste it to manually connection in Sync on B, pick the location - any available existing folder. Adjust the path if necessary. a few more steps if A and B are linked with one identity. for either case, please see this guide. Hope it helps.

RNMerchant Posted December 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Thanks. That seemed to work although it is not intuitive and it is, I think, a bit incomplete. This is because when I choose a folder on one machine it seems to automatically make a sync folder on the second: I have to first delete that 'automatic' folder then can link my chosen folder. I could see it being a bit more user-friendly if, when I start the process on Computer A it allowed me to target then a chosen folder on Computer B. I could then go over to Computer B and "approve the request". This would be simple and not require any non-intuitive deleting and re-choosing folders.... Sorry if my terminology is a bit sloppy.

Helen Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Richard, if your A and B are linked with one identity, then just keep them both in "Disconnected" mode (in My devices -> this device menu). In this case if you add a folder to A, it'll appear as "disconnected" on B and you'll be able to connect it any time without rush and point a necessary location.
