Possible to sync a folder but change the .sync folder location?


Recommended Posts

Hi! 

I'm just trying to keep a mounted network directory in sync with a local directory on my computer, because this is a network directory, I can't be adding a .sync directory incase other people need to sync it too.

I'm using the local sync feature, but when adding the folder to resilio sync, it's creating a .sync folder on that directory? 

Besides symlinking every dir within that network location and then syncing the new parent, is there anyway I can change the location of the .sync folder so it doesn't make the network folder dirty?

Actually I just realised I can symlink the whole network share and then sync that parent directory, will be kinda messy but that will work 🙌👌💯
