Selective Sync on source share and all its local copies are not dependable on each other. The number of peers will grow accordingly. You can setup the source folder to be shared with several local folders. But it's possible to share the 'parent' folder locally again with some other folder. It's not possible to share a 'local' folder locally again. To establish such a one-way connection, use the 'Read Only' permission while sharing a folder (available for both Standard and Advanced ). Any folder with a read-only permission will be fully synced, but changes made in this folder will not be synced back. It is established via read only permission. Reconnecting the source folder back again does not automatically reconnect the local share and the latter needs to be reconnected again manually. Yes, Sync features one-way synchronization. If the source folder is disconnected and/or removed from Sync, the local share is also removed from Sync. it only remains on the device where it's deliberately configured. Setting up a large storage space (possibly Network Attached Storage) and using Sync to pull in files from all client locations as a central backup tool. Local share is not propagated to the devices linked with one identity, i.e. But it does not use standard peer discovery mechanism of tracker, relay or LAN discovery - these options are not available in the local share's preferences.
It obeys the default Sync's rules for Archive and IgnoreList. Local share will also change its access from Read-Write to Read-Only. Remote Owner changes the access for this device from Read-Write to Read-Only for source share. For example: both source and local shares had access "Read-Write" in an Advanced share.
On the other hand, if remote Owner changes device's access to the source folder, the local share will lower down the access as well. It's not possible to share Owner access with a local share.įor Advanced shares it's also not possible to change access level for local share through user management.To change permissions it's necessary to remove the local share from Sync and re-share again.
if the source share has Read-Only permissions, it can be shared only with "Read-only" permissions locally. Only the permissions level that source folder has can be passed down to the local share. for Encrypted folder if the peer has only "encrypted" key, it cannot be shared locally. there's no way to give local share "Owner" permissions. for Advanced folder only Owner can share it. Once configured, the local share will appear as attached to the "source" share.Īll types of shares - Advanced, Standard, Encrypted - can be shared locally, with some peculiarities: When selecting path for local share, DO NOT use a subdirectory or any of parent folders of the source share
