I was not seeing any of my folders or files listed in either the left or right window of your program. I essentially clicked on everything under the sun to try to get them to show,…

Perfect. It worked. Thanks a lot. But I had to also unblock the file, which I think is a Vista issue. For whoever may have the same issue: right-click - properties - unblock. Many …

How can I make RealTimeSync sun silently (hidden) on Mac El Capitan? The Scanning window appears every time it runs. I would rather it didn't.

Yah, I'm using VPN. Didn't even occur to me, sorry to have made such a fuss. I disconnected from VPN and tried again, all went well. Thank you for your efforts and, again, sorry!
