Hello everyone,
I'm currently trying to setup BitTorrent Sync on my NAS, and I've followed the tutorial step by step.
However, I do not understand what the concept of the "source" and "destination" folders when adding a dataset to the plugin. I'd really appreciate a "explain like I'm 5 years old" response to this.
Normally, on PC/Mobile setup process, it's simply selecting a folder you want synced, getting the share key/secret, and you're good to go. Only only folder to configure.
What is the function of each of the folders when setting BTSync up for FreeNAS? What is happening to the files? Where is the proper place to save files that I want transferred? Does the data get duplicated within the NAS itself before it gets shares/synced with other devices? What if I want to set up multiple folders to share with BTSync (independent from one another, ie completely different files shared with different devices)?
Thanks!
