QSYNC vs. HOME folder

Post by davidbursik »

Hello,

I have QNAP TS-251A. I have all my files stored in folder HOME, except multimedia files, these I stored to Multimedia folder.
Yesterday I tried to sync some files from HOME folder with my computer. But in Qsync app I cannot see HOME folder. Why?

Thanks, David

Thanks for sharing that link, but it doesn’t answer the question about the lack of sync of the home folder. What’s the purpose of the home folders if they can’t be synchronized?

I would create individual users with their own folder. Set up the path in QSync on each users client/login.

It's 2020, but this issue is still actual..

It seems that it's not possible to sync the content of the home folder. This is so ...
wow..

Has anyone found a solution to this? Why can't I sync my own files?!

As per my comment above, I do not use the default folder structure and HOME - I found it confusing and it did not meet my requirements. I have no problem using Qync.
I am not why you want to use the default HOME structure but if you are then I would recommend opening a call.

I hate this too... you can only sync to the .qnap folder in the home folder. What you can do though is make a new share for a folder in your home folder and sync to that.

Which is why I ignore the home folder and set up shares as required.
