I have One source computer at home on my private network connected to an external drive. I have a Target computer at my friend house connected to an external drive.
Is there is a way to select the location of the drive in Client PC so like this pc 1 and pc 2 both are 100 % Sync.
i am playing with syncthing at home with 2 different computers and this option is not available or i am doing something wrong. On Client /Target computer the default location is C:\Users\Admin\Sync and i created a test folder when it synced it went to C:\Users\Admin\TEST
I want the location for Target pc hard drive to be external drive
First, make sure you have auto-accept off. Then, when accepting a new shared folder on the remote machine, the GUI-dialog offers you an option to set the folder path, just like you can do on the sharing machine.
I can try that but I haven’t seen that option when adding the client PC. Also I was not able to find any options to set main computer vs client PC
Thanks
Hello When i go to source computer YES i am able to select a folder from D Drive
but on Target pc i am not able to select folder in D drive it auto select it for me. i disabled auto discovery. i am using windows 10 for both computer and i am using SyncTrayzorSetup-x64 i dont know if that matters but it is an .EXE file that got installed
I do see syncthing as application but i haven’t run it or did anything to it
Please advise and thank you everyone for kind reply
In the GUI, on both sides, select the other device in the GUI (lower right) and press the Edit button below the device. On the popup-dialog, switch to the Sharing tab and make sure Auto Accept is unchecked (at least on the receiving side, but to double check: Have it off on both computers).
Accept the share by clicking Add. A new dialog will popup, where you can select the folder path on the local machine. That text field is editable, but there is no “browse” button: You have to type in the folder path manually (or copy-paste it). For example, you might want to replace the default C:\Users\user\example with D:\myfolder
