- Synced - the folder is connected to the peer group and all files are synchronized
- Ability to link all of your devices together using a private identity - it’s the private alternative to having an account in the cloud
- Disconnect from a folder and still have it available to re-connect in the future
- A device with a lot of storage can be set to Synced mode, keeping all of your shared folders automatically protected and available
- Can share a folder and approve connections from any of your linked devices - no need anymore to approve connections on the specific device that shared the folder
- ACCESS FILES ON-DEMAND:
- Ability to connect to a folder without synchronizing all of its contenects - only placeholder files will be received, saving space and allowing access to very large folders
- Access files on-demand by opening .bts placeholder files in Windows Explorer (Windows) or Finder (OS X)
- Individual file receive progress shown in Windows Explorer (Windows) or Finder (OS X)
- FOLDER SHARING:
- By default, you now only need to approve a person once to connect to a folder you shared once - the next time you share with that person, an approval is not necessary because you’re retaining a certificate with their identity
- Optionally, you can set the folder link security options to require an approval for every peer that tries to connect, whether you approved them before or not
- Add a classic folder using the pre-2.0 security model (keys) by holding shift+clicking the “Add Folder” button
- FOLDER CONTROL:
- Pause syncing for individual folders
- Option to delete the folder from file system when disconnecting from it
- Peers, or device, are now grouped by user in the Peer List
- SYNC PRO LICENSING:
- Ability to buy up to 50 Pro licenses and share them with your colleagues, all privately from within Sync
- The license owner can reclaim or revoke a seat license from a user and assign it to someone else
- Can add a license on a private network (without internet access) by opening the .btskey license file attached to the purchase confirmation email
