Anoop N Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 Hi, I just recently downloaded Resilio Sync and took a Home Pro license, and work across my Macbook (iOS 10.13.3) and my iPad Pro (iOS 11.2.5). I am facing a minor but nagging issue. When I try to open files on my iPad thru Resilio Sync, the files (especially word / powerpoint) open in their respective native apps in Read-only mode. The Folder shared has read-write permissions as I can delete files etc. and Sync is working perfectly well both ways. I follow these steps: Open Resilio Sync on Ipad -> Select Shared Folder -> Select File -> Click Details -> Click "Open In" -> Select MS-Word / MS-Powerpoint option which reads as "Copy to Powerpoint" Can someone help if there is any setting change required to enable editing MS-Office files (especially) on the secondary devices?

Gane O'dwyer Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 When you choose "Open In..." to open a file in another app, the file is actually copied to other app. As a result, that app works on a copy of the file and all changes you make are not reflected in the file which is stored in Sync. To sync changes to other peers you'll need to send back the modified file to Sync. Click here to see an example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
