Folder pairing question

Post by Hytheman »

There is probably a very simple solution but I am having a problem in setting up a paired folder on my Mac. In Qsync Client I have selected View & Manage Paired Folders and tried to Add a Paired Folder. The only Folder on the NAS visible is the Qsync folder, and it does not show any subfolders even when clicking the arrow beside Qsync. I would like to Pair a folder on my Mac desktop and a new, separate folder on the NAS. I am a new user and may be missing the point entirely but would appreciate the advice of experienced users.

Hello, Hytheman: did you find an answer to your question : i'm struggling with "qsync pairing logic" wich is untelligible to me!!!! As you, hard to share and pairing. There à status "pending" ou "waiting" for my folders, as if i should find a mail or a notification to authorize the pairing or the sharing but i don't know where give this approval !!! via the file station? via app Qsync???
Thanks to answer if ever you solved your issue !!!!

Ignore the default folder pair and build folder pairs starting from scratch.

From Qsync Client I select View and manage folder pairs. Then I press +
When I try to select a folder on the NAS it only shows Qsync (which is greyed out) and tells me to select an unpaired folder as it cannot pair an already paired folder.
Please, what are the steps to create an unpaired folder on my NAS? Any folder I create in the normal way does not show up.

spile is correct here, it's just the UI is super unclear so when you first load up the sync screen it already has a default pair for the entire home/Qsync folder. You need to delete this first. Without deleting it, it looks like you have already paired the folder and pairing twice to the same computer isn't a great idea.

On first glance it looks like it's just giving you sync folder statistics, but what it's really showing is a default share for everything. You need to delete the pair in my attached image that shows 36.3 GB.
