kelemvor Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Howdy, I've been using Sync for years to keep two folders in sync between two computers. I noticed today that not all the folders from one PC are making it to the second. If I create a new file, it show sup on the other side within a few seconds. However, there are folder already on the first computer that aren't on the 2nd one. Is there an easy way to tell the 2nd computer to refresh it's list and do a full compare to find the files it's missing and copy them again? Or is there any way to find out what's going wrong? I also noticed a strange icon next to the Sync icon on the folder. No idea what it means but I'm attaching a screenshot. Thanks for any help!

Gane O'dwyer Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 In your case the peer with Read-only share doesn't receive files from the remote node? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelemvor Posted July 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 Like I said, " If I create a new file, it shows up on the other side within a few seconds. However, there are folders already on the first computer that aren't on the 2nd one. " I just need to know how I tell the 2nd computer to refresh its list and realize that it's missing folders. Or do I need to undo the sync and set it up again from scratch so that it will inventory what it has and download what it's missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gane O'dwyer Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 @kelemvor You didn't answer the main question. If the share on the second device with read-only permissions open it preferences and 'enable overwrite any changed files. But if you added that files on the read-only share they wouldn't be sent to the remote node as it is a one way syncing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelemvor Posted July 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 The 2nd machine is read only. The 1st machine is the Owner. So everything I put on the first machine should go to the second machine. The second machine never gets used so I don't think the files got manually deleted or anything like that. I just checked the box to overwrite so we'll see what happens. If it starts syncing, is there any way to view the queue so I can tell which actual files it's working on?

Gane O'dwyer Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 In the peer list of the shared folder that could be found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
