I found Resilio Sync when Dropbox no longer worked across the OS divide. SO currently at home I have

MBP with El Capitan, Resilio 2.7.3

M1 mini Sonoma, Resilio 2.8.1

iMac (2013 running Sonoma via Open Legacy patcher on external SSD), Resilio 3.1.2  
THIS seems to be giving me 6 days to get a [free] licence.
But best NOT to mix v3 and V2 seems to be the advice.
BUT v3 requires later macOS than El Cap - so something has to give or I am looking for another system again.

Any experience, comments, advice?
My starter idea is to down-date the iMac to 2.8.1
Something not requiring lots of time to clarify and check would be great as I have many time pressures just now.

I have an Original Google Pixel doing my photos backup for unlimited photos storage. I have Resilio Sync setup on 3 phones (Z Fold 7, Pixel Fold and Pixel 10 Pro XL). With the Z Fold 7 being my primary phone but I use the others as well. So I have the phones syncing with Google Pixel that has Resilio Sync installed on it for all 3 phones. Then Google Photos is backing up all they photos I synced to my Google Account.

The issue is I now have a. Problem some I am out of space apparently. I wanted to know if I delete photos on my phone that have been backed up will that delete them from the phone they were synced from? What happens if I delete files (in my case photos) from the sync folder will it be delete them from the originating device as well or will r originating device resync them to the folder again?

Thanks

Description:
On Android, a newly created file in a shared folder is shown as “Synced” in the file info screen, even though it has not been transferred to the other device yet. At the same time, the folder itself indicates syncing is stopped/paused due to Allowed network settings (Wi-Fi only) and/or no connected peers (0 of 1).

This is confusing because “Synced” (especially in Russian UI: “Синхронизировано”) strongly suggests the file is already synchronized across devices.

Environment:
- App: Sync (Android)
- App version: [fill in]
- Android version: [fill in]
- Device model: [fill in]
- Folder type: Standard folder, Read & Write
- Allowed network: Wi-Fi only
- Peers: 0 of 1 at the moment of observation
- Folder path: /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera

Steps to reproduce:
1. Configure a shared folder between Device A and Device B (1 peer).
2. Set folder “Allowed network” to Wi-Fi only (or make the peer offline).
3. On Device A (currently on mobile data / or with peer disconnected), create a new photo/video in the shared folder (e.g., DCIM/Camera).
4. Open file details/info in the app.

Actual result:
- File status shows “Synced” (“Синхронизировано”).
- Folder status indicates syncing is stopped/paused due to Allowed network, and/or peers are not connected (0/1).
- The file is not present on Device B yet.

Expected result:
One of the following would be clearer:
A) File status should reflect pending upload/transfer when folder sync is paused or no peers are connected (e.g., “Waiting for network”, “Waiting for peer”, “Pending transfer”).
OR
B) If “Synced” is meant to be local-only, rename it to something unambiguous like “Synced locally / Indexed locally”, and show a separate “Transferred to peers” / “Available on X/Y devices” indicator.

Attachments:
- Screenshots showing:
  - Folder status “Stopped… Allowed network: Wi-Fi”
  - Peers 0 of 1
  - File details showing “Synced” at the same time

If I setup this folder for selective sync and choose all the files but the one I want to preserve on all three systems, will all the other files stay in sync, and will this unique file be ok, or will a placeholder try overwriting it or something?

Thanks.

I would like to request clarification regarding the cryptographic hashing and encryption mechanisms used by Resilio software.

Specifically, could you please confirm:

• Whether the software generates file hashes using SHA-256 (or another SHA-2 family algorithm), and if so, for what purpose (e.g., file integrity verification, synchronization validation).

• Whether AES-256 or AES-128 is used for data encryption, and in which context (e.g., data at rest, data in transit).

• The primary security or cybersecurity standards and frameworks the software is designed to align with (for example, NIST, FIPS-validated modules, or other recognized guidelines).

This information is needed to support an internal cybersecurity and compliance assessment.

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,
Abhi

I use Resilio (Home personal version) to sync some folders between my PC and a WD Mycloud EX4100.

At the same time, the same folders are synched to my Onedrive account (through symbolic link)...

Now, it often happens that Onedrive keeps spinning trying to sync the files (probably "TEMP" files or others) in the ".sync" hidden folder.

Since Onedrive MS support is rather pathetic (they are not able to let people exclude files and folders from the sync process... duh!), I was wondering if it is possible to move the ".sync" hidden folder to another position (and tell Resilio to look for it in that other position), so that Onedrive does not sync it.

Thanks for any help!

However, I want to make sure that when I delete a file on one device, it automatically gets deleted on all the other devices as well.

Currently quite some delay.

Typical messages In the logs :

- file xxx deleted by a peer ==> Ok

- but no sync until next full scan

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

What's the best setup to keep a resilio share syncing with a windows peer sometime down for months  (secondary house)?

Is  "peer_expiration_days" the right place ?

Thanks.

1. What are the differences between Resilio free and Resilio paid?
2. How does the free version of Resilio compare to the paid version of SugarSync (because SugarSync pretty much ended its free version years ago)?
3. I have the "same" target folder on each of two PCs - for files from my wife's business.  Those two folders are badly out of sync.  If I "sync" them with Resilio, how does Resilio handle overlaps and mergers of the same files last revised differently?
4. What happens if I sync folders on two PCs that are in the OneDrive master folder on each PC?  Do Resilio Sync and OneDrive play nice with each other?
   1. Does your answer change if each PC has a different OneDrive account (because it has a different MS 365 Family user)?
5. Is there yet another competitor to SugarSync that I don’t know?
6. What else should I ask?

Thanks!

1. If I have a file synced between three machines, say A, B, and C. If I changed the file in A when B and C is offline, and then changed the same file in B differently when A and C is offline, what will happen when A, B and C become online again?

2. I have a folder synced between several machines all with selective sync. Now I create a very important file which I want it to be broadcast immediately to every machine online. How can I do this other than clicking download in other machines?

3. I have a folder synced between several machines all with selective sync. I want to make one of the subfolders to always synced mode, is that possible?

Thank you for your help!

Is it possible to connect to any public/free wi-fi spot and download the files on to my Android phone? I do have a laptop and my own phones data but because the files might be big I like to take the opportunity when possible to save using free internet data to perform any kind of download.

Happy to be directed to the relevant section that can help me.

I was also thinking about "exchanging" a few TB of my space with my friends on their machines in exchange for space on my machine, but it hasn't materialised yet as mostly they use other solutions, not Resilio.

Is anyone else using a remote storage solution and can share some details on pricing and satisfaction?

Thank you!

Please be careful !!!!!

When your photos and videos have been successfully uploaded to iCloud and your iPhone has completed the storage optimization process, if you then use the “Sync Camera Backup” feature, all files — including those that have already been synced before — will become 0KB files.

This happens because the sync tool cannot recognize files that have been optimized for storage on the iPhone. If the “Delete Backup Files” option is not enabled, all of these files will become unusable.
 

Thanks,

Want to make sure the desktop will sync with the new laptop and "forget" the old one.  Since I haven't done this before, wanted to ask if this is as simple as linking the new device (under the identity tab) and unlinking the old one?  Or is there more to it?

Thanks -

I am using resilio sync to backup all camera pictures from the family phones where we have a combination of android and iphones. I'm supper happy with the backup feature that is precisely what brought me to Resilio from Syncthing. I have one problem, though, that I have not found any way to solve. My kids get a lot of images in Snapchat and they would like those images to be backed up as well, but since they are kept in a separate folder than the camera pictures, the camera backup does not pick them. I would like to add extra folders to perform a backup so that they can mark the Snapchat attachments folder and get same functionality (Note - Backup!, not sync!), so that they can free space on their mobiles without loosing the pictures. Is there any way of doing that?

Thanks!
