Hi.
I have not played with it, yet, but I really like the idea of the program.
I wanted to set up a server (Not doing that anymore.)
so that a friend of mine can get files but this should be better.
How would a friend of mine get files or a folder using this program?

BTSync uses a string of randomly generated letters and numbers up to 32 characters long.

When you generate the secret, which is what they like to call it, you can go into that folders preferences and just give them the read only secret.

That's one of the reasons why I made the switch.

I'll use the Harry potter fanfiction folder as an example, people would access the files and make modifications, like cutting the folder out of dropbox, well obviously if you do that the changes are going to take place everywhere else.

Read only access is exactly what it says, only people that have the full access key can make changes.

if you both have full access then yes, if you only give them read only access, the only thing that will happen if they cut the folder is that folder will be redownloaded.

I just tested it with the fanfic folder and that's what happened.

I'm not sure what would happen if only 2 people were sharing.

My advice, don't get into the habit of moving files unless you know what you're doing.

The best way to learn is to play with it, that's what I've been doing.

It does sound like a very attractive programme and I have played with it, but I have some reservations till they open-source it or at least the underlying security protocol

What confuses me is the 24 hour secret, I know it lasts 24 hours obviously, but what happens after the 24 hours?

Does it stop syncing, or do you only have 24 hours to use the key.

Well, I still using 1.3 though. My bt sync is not update. even though I have "automatic check for update check box enabled", but still not working. I've also check for update manually, but it says my bt sync is up to date.

Bit torrent sync's new interface in v1.4 isn't accessible. I hope they will fix it, but they have been pretty unresponsive when it comes to requests for accessibility fixes (e.g in utorrent).

I would consider an alternative like SyncThing, which is in addition to being completely accessible, is open-source and does almost everything that BtSync does. SyncThing is nearing its v1.0 release.

Using NVDA you can show and hide colums by going to the table where it lists the names of the colums.

After that you move the mouse to the current navigator object, NVDA+ numpad devide if you're on a desktop.

Then do a right click, and go to the bottom of the page and you should see all the names of the colums you want to be shown or hidden.

They show up as links, so enter will toggle them.

Unfortunately the menu disappears when you click one of those links so you have to keep going to the top of that table and doing the whole right click thing.

This still doesn't help with getting to the preferences or removing folders, But I figured I'd post this and see if anyone can discover anything once you clean up the page by hiding some of the colums.

I sent them feedback using the built in feed back form, so now we can only hope.

Well they actually got back to me, and it looks like one of those automated messages.

I'll post the message below.

Dear user,
Thanks a lot for your suggestion. We'll consider it for future releases.
Best regards,
Sync Support Team.

I have not used Bittorrent Sync. I probably should, though.

Hello to all. Does anyone have the latest addon for nvda and BTsync? I can't use it here. Windows 7 32 bit and nvda 2014.3 rc3
