WIN 10 - Can sync folders be on a different drive from the program?

Hi,

Wondering if I can move from BTSync to Syncthing. Not very IT literate so pls be gentle:)!

MY PC is set up with a SSD for programs etc. and two SSDs configured as a Storage Space where all the data goes.

Will ST work in this way (I notice that the guidance on staggered versioning says that having the old file versions stored on a separate File System “might” not work but it isn’t clear if that applies between the app and the sync folder).

Regards.

John

You can sync whatever internal or external drive you want :slight_smile:

The versioning is done inside the folder, so if you sync D:\Data\Some Stuff the versions will be inside D:\Data\Some Stuff\.versions. If your D has not enough space for the versions, you might want to have that on another drive. That’s what the text is about.

If you run Syncthing as a user (no service or anything) you can even sync mapped net drives.

Many thanks for info wweich. John
