I have/had no idea of how long it would work, hence my very strong disclaimer.<br /><br />I've had good luck with BTSync. The only time I thought it failed me was by not updating, but the program had been halted on one of the machines. Sometimes when files are changed or deleted, they are placed in a hidden .SyncArchive directory, but I haven't investigated what rules govern it.<br /><br />With the collapse of the charges for Web storage, I plan to get space with iDrive for backup as I continue to use BTSync for synchronization. However, as they say, YMMV.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861109323517110356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878034643972231771.post-24402684010840342802014-05-01T20:14:49.364-04:002014-05-01T20:14:49.364-04:00This is insane.

This thing is crapping GB of data all over my hard drive.<br /><br />Also BitTorrent Sync deleted all my files when I tried to sync 2 folders that were already identical on the two machines. It somehow convinced itself that I had deleted them and deleted them from both machines. So no, BTSync is not a solution either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878034643972231771.post-76902586834518368792013-12-21T19:52:47.441-05:002013-12-21T19:52:47.441-05:00@Arun: Agreed.

I found that Copy is more useful in group folders or to keep different pcs in sync. After all your files go up their servers, turn on the other computer or force a resync (pause and resume). That causes the sync to occur. But even if you don't do that, it will eventually sync back down to your computers any modified files. Eventually. But it's no dropbox! But then again, dropbox has its own pair of issues that make it unusable for me and 80Gb of data that Sugarsync and Copy handle with ease. I'm sticking to Copy. Their 30 version revision is also AWESOME. And 5GB for every referral? Please! Unbeatable for a great product that works :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06199703339938286894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878034643972231771.post-2946229185672818942013-07-08T15:10:34.730-04:002013-07-08T15:10:34.730-04:00[I have removed a series of comments discussing ho...[I have removed a series of comments discussing how the procedure had stopped working as the result of an update at copy.com.

I'm talking about more then 60GB and that worked flawlessly so thanks again. <br /><br />I hate Dropbox because of the single folder, and I really liked Cubby up until they started taking money for the p2p great service. <br />I'm currently paying for Sugarsync which is amazing, but it's pretty expensive so I was looking for alternatives.

I'm hoping to do it sometime this month, but don't let that stop you if you want to try for yourself. I'm still using free versions of Dropbox, Cubby, and Syncbox. They work reasonably well, and that's part of the problem. It's easier to accept them with their blemishes rather than go through everything all over again. <br /><br />Now issues have been raised about recovered files being tagged with the time of recovery rather than their date modified at the time of deletion, so that, too, needs to be investigated.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861109323517110356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878034643972231771.post-28477070378637955522013-05-27T05:19:36.134-04:002013-05-27T05:19:36.134-04:00Thanks!
