This makes resilio synced folders look out of place and not consistent with macOS.

Feature requests:
- There is no "favorites" album that you can browse to upload files
- There is no "videos" or "screen recordings" folders either, which are native iOS folders on the device. There are many other categories that are missing as well. 
- Make thumbnails of photos and videos larger. Even on iphone 16 pro max, thumbnails are very tiny. Harder to see what the video is, and if the timestamp is longer than 3 digits, the entire label that shows the length of the video is cutoff

Bugs: 
- Thumbnails of albums do not show, haven't since the 3.0 update
- Albums are not in alphabetical order and cannot be sorted at all. Lots of time wasted searching for albums.

Right now it's just alphabetical/size and it's been a pain for years. UPDATE: I literally just discovered the workaround (hold your phone in landscape mode and the option becomes visible). Oddly enough when I asked support about this some time ago they didn't know the workaround and just told me it wasn't a feature.

If just for display purposes. In my list of descriptive share names on mobile I have to have to camera folder name DCIM

Projects

:(

I would really like

Projects

Camera

But that is not possible on Mobile.

Maybe have the app send the file contents to the website over an ftp download protocol for the person who is downloading the file directly from the host client. Or, it appears it to be possible to perform a p2p file transfer through a website interface as long as the source remains on, which the host would be the source.

Obviously, this is a huge issue that can easily result in data loss! It would be nice to add confirmation to "Remove from this device" because re-downloading files is a pain, but requiring confirmation for "Remove from all devices" is absolutely crucial. (This view shows up by clicking the name of a folder that has Selective Sync on)

I see a "show notifications" option in the preference, but I do not see any notification regardless of whether the option is checked or unchecked. I have BT Sync installed on three machines, one with Windows 7 and two with Windows 10, and I'm having the same issue on all of them.

To cope with the demands of some media apps on the NAS here, each user has a separate subdirectory under the general Music, Images, and Media directories.  This means that my three syncs on the NAS client each have the short name "Keith"!  If I mouse over them I'll get "/volume1/Music/Keith" but it would be nice just to have a descriptive short name!

Let me quickly explain my workflow. I have a NAS with a "Photos" folder set to full synchronization. I also have a laptop (with limited storage space) with that same folder using selective sync. The "Photos" folder has read/write permissions on both devices.

When I work on my laptop with photo software, for example, I sometimes delete files and/or folders.

The problem is that I then find these ".rsls" files, which makes it confusing to know what has been removed from my local machine versus what I actually want to permanently delete everywhere.

So, would it be possible to add an option to force the deletion on all devices when deleting via the file explorer, instead of the current default behavior of only deleting it from the local machine?

 

Thx

Because said collection has many nested folders, syncing to iOS' native library is not only not feasible, but not nearly as convenient as Resilio. In the past, this app has been perfect for my purposes, but the last update to the app removed the ability to sort by date. I've been trying to live with the change for the two months since then, but it's proven to be incredibly annoying. I would love it if sort by date were added back in.

I keep seeing this requested, and I keep seeing the threads marked "solved" but … it's not.

  • Dropbox can back up photos in the background.
  • Google Photos can back up photos in the background.
  • Amazon Photos can back up photos in the background.

… but Sync can't?

Seriously, can we either get an ETA or a reasonable explanation for why this isn't being implemented?

Thanks.

Sometimes i have to collaborate and upgrade single files, and when is used in a shared folder environment would be nice to be able to select within resilio wich files you want to receive or send first that file. Instead, we have to wait for the whole folder to update to be sure you have the last version, going trough calls or instant messages to get to know that you have the last one.

We occasionally clear space off our devices (mostly before vacation trips) assuming all photos and videos are well preserved and synced to our NAS. Therefore, the NAS will always have more files than our phones. Both Android and iOS apps appear to let you remove the files in the app. Therefore, an app feature I think would be handy is the ability to toggle local files vs remote files to indicate a delta between the two. This would allow us to get a sense of what we have removed locally.

You have to manually open the app each time you want to sync, which means that if you are travelling, you have to depend on having access to a network before you can open your latest files.

Background sync is supported on iOS, as other apps can sync in background without needing to be open. Why not Resilio?

This could be a deal breaker for me as I am often working with files across both Mac and iOS, and I do not want to rely on cloud-based solutions.

It currently holds too much responsibility for the network.

It would be cool if there was more P2P resiliency. Being able to share stuff in a true P2P fashion with the share key is awesome but the problem is that it doesn't find peers so it doesn't initialize, it would be cool if it prompted like "Could not find peers, check <tracker>?, got the <link>? add manually?" and help the user find the peers in as many ways as possible...

You could also potentially introduce similar LAN-type features:

On your local network, Windows uses a combo of broadcast and multicast protocols that only work within the LAN:

  • LLMNR (Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution)
  • NetBIOS / SMB (Server Message Block)
  • mDNS (Multicast DNS, like Bonjour)
  • WS-Discovery (Web Services Discovery)

These protocols allow your computer to shout out on the local network:

“Hey, who’s out there offering file shares or services?”

All nearby devices respond over a fast, low-latency network.
It works without a central server because everyone’s on the same subnet.

It will continue to exist regardless of the success of Resilio as a company which will give more confidence to anyone building apps on top of Resilio

Let's say I wanted to build the next tiktok and people were creating tiktok videos with the file extension .tiktok (basically wrapped mp4 files) then my app could use your app to find .tiktok files and then feed them into my app so that users can watch uncensored tiktoks via P2P.

Right now you can create Standard Folder, Advanced Folder, Encrypted Folder but you will still reveal certain things like your username and perhaps IP (although users could use a VPN) but it seems super important to have a "Secret Folder" option so that stuff shared in that kind of folder does not reveal any information whatsoever about the Sharer.
