Multiple Computer Syncs

Posts: 2 · cburly54 18 Mar 2020, 19:05

I have multiple computers using two-way sync with a single drive (T:\), but there becomes a problem with syncing the computers and moved or deleted files, as it will want to restore previously moved/deleted files on the second computer to be synced.
I believe this could be fixed if the database that each computer references (sync.ffs_db) could be made unique for each computer. Is this possible?

I have the same problem. Was it solved?

And attempting to restore files is not the worse variant. The worse one is when it is tring to delete files on the second computer while these files have to be added.
In earlier versions there was no such problem. It appeared I guess in the middle of 2019.
Can you help with this?

The database files aren't the problem, something else is going on. As always, have close look at any errors or warnings that are reported during comparison and synchronization.

I have 8 computers that sync to a single network folder without those issues. I would wager that your sync settings are conflicting
