AllWay Sync supports syncronisation with webDav folders (of which the MBL supports), yet Allway Sync cant seem to access my drive. I have an account with no-ip.com, and its setup as a DNS host, and correctly responds with my external IP address when pinged. Ive even tried supplying the base external IP address, and still no joy.
And I know Goodsync is business not a charity and lifetime license are not the very best sustainable license models. But still there is a lot of software which seem to thrive on this model. (totalcommander being a big example of this) and at least respect the current userbase of Allway Sync.
Since a couple weeks I have the problem that the app loses access to the Dropbox and I need to obtain a new Authorized Access Token at least once a day.
Is this a new "feature" for increased security? For me at least it's an inconvience as I have to to take action every day to have my files synced "automatically".
I already tried to delete the Allway Sync app from the list of connected apps on the dropbox website and added it again but that didn't resolve the issue.

GoodSync is an easy-to-use tool for automated data backup and synchronization across mutiple destinations and platforms. It works on all devices and operating systems including servers, NAS, and mobile devices.
GoodSync supports connection to all local and remote file systems, cloud storage providers, and offers its own cloud storage.
Allway Sync is backup and file synchronization software that allows backing up and synchronizing files to the same or different drives, to different media (CD, DVD, Flash, zip), or to a remote server.[3]
There are various versions.[6] Users of the freeware version are requested to buy the pro version if they use the software for a commercial purpose or to synchronize more than 40,000 files in 30-day period. This pro version has exactly the same functionality as the free version.
A sync job is a description or set of instructions defining how you want the contents of a set of folders (usually two folders) to relate to each other. In some cases, a sync job defines two folders whose contents should be maintained so that they are exact copies of each other. In other cases, you may want the files in one folder to derive from those in another, based on filtering rules.
Allway Sync allows you to define multiple sync jobs in the profile window. To add a new sync job just navigate from the profile-window menu-bar to the Job Add New menu item. A new tabbed panel appears in which you can define a new sync job.
I recently had to migrate data from 5 X 4TB HDD's that were in an old WHS 2011 setup when my eSATA enclosure's power supply died. I was basically just using WHS 2011 as a file server, so I decided just to move on from WHS 2011 and build a Win10-based PC in a case with a lot of 3.5" drive bays instead. Before I built the new PC, I backed up all the data on the 5 X 4TB HDD's to external USB drives. I wasn't using DrivePool on WHS 2011.
Upon completing the build of the new PC, I decided to give DrivePool a try. I purchased the 2.0 version, and installed it. I then installed three brand-new 4TB drives, and created a new pool - adding those three drives to the pool. I copied over as much data to those three drives from the external USB drives to the three HDD in the pool as would fit. I still had two drives from the old WHS setup, which were less than a year old, and checked out healthy -so I decided to re-use them at least temporarily. Having read that drives with existing data could be added to a pool, I just installed those old 4TB drives and added them to the pool. I moved the data out of the old WHS 2011 ServerFolders into new folders, and added those folders to the pool. I ended up with exactly what I set out to have - five 4TB drives, and their data, in a pool.
I know DrivePool offers file duplication, but I just don't have enough free space on my drives to duplicate everything that I would need to. I also prefer to have an offline backup, so I set up Allway Sync to sync all the data in my pool back to the same external USB drives that I had previously used to back up that data in the first place. I have added no new data to the drives in the pool yet. Even the folder structure is identical between what's in the pool, and what's on the external USB drives.
I am now attempting to set up a one-way sync from the pooled drives back to the external USB drives in Allway Sync. When Allway Sync "analyzes" the data between the pooled drives and the external USB drives, it doesn't recognize that any of the existing files are already on the USB drives. It wants to copy everything over again - which shouldn't be necessary.
I'm new to the pooled drive thing, so maybe I'm missing some elementary understanding of how it works. Any idea what I need to do to set up the sync properly so I don't have to copy all the files over again?
Software that synchronizes the contents of two or more folders is a great idea that usually comes up short somewhere, such as an inability to access a network or enter passwords or one-way synching that tracks updates in one folder but not the other. Allway Sync (64-bit) is a free tool that analyzes the contents of two folders simultaneously and updates both based on the latest content in either. But instead of simply copying the latest content based on time signatures, Allway Sync's bidirectional algorithm analyzes the content for actual changes, so even if system clocks are out of synch, your folders won't be. It can synchronize folders manually or automatically.
Allway Sync's unique interface does a fine job of clearly delineating each source folder it will synchronize, with separate, identical fields for selecting the source type from a drop-down list as well as entering target folders by browsing or typing them in directly. The drop-down list offers explanations of the extensive sources Allway Sync can access: Windows folders, a folder on a removable drive, a network share, an archived or encrypted archive, and both FTP and SFTP servers online, including entering passwords. While Allway Sync unifies the contents of two folders at a time, you can set up as many synchronization jobs as you like by creating Jobs, either from the Job file menu or the tabbed interface. Jobs can be saved, edited, renamed, and cloned once you've created them. To quickly test Allway Sync, we copied a folder of images to our desktop and deleted a few from one, set up each as targets, and press Analyze. Almost instantaneously, the program returned results under expandable headings labeled New Files, Unchanged Files, and All Files, as well as a log file. The job finished quickly, and a quick check revealed identical content in each folder. Next we accessed shared folders in our homegroup, since keeping folders synchronized between two different PCs is a different matter altogether, yet once again Allway Sync did the job.
Allway Sync has a bunch of different interface languages, too, and even skins and other options. Its ability to synchronize the content of two folders, in each direction, and in a wide range of locations makes it the most competent folder synchronization utility we've tried.
