- locusofself 9y agoWhen it first came out, it "just worked". The simplicity of the folder=key was great. If you have the long key passphrase, you are in. Then they implemented a whole bunch of features that I thought were clunky, emailing the passphrase, QR codes I think, the ability to require approval to access shares, sub-permissions, etc. 2 years ago or so they released a version that was not backward compatible, so everyone had to upgrade or not, and if only some peers had upgraded, things got out of "sync" heh. Finally, we got my team all on resilio sync and we all had 100% CPU pegs on certain shared folders. I gave up on it. When it was really simply and it synced it was great
