Hi,
Syncless is not able to tag network drive. We are looking into ways to cater 
for 
network drive. 

(do you mean that it is possible to tag network drive if the user give it a 
drive 
letter?)

can some1 with a network drive help me run this application and paste me the 
output ?
I need to see how C# represent the network drive =P

If you do not trust the .exe, you can compile the .cs file and run and send me 
instead 
=P

I think syncless do not have access to the drive to create a system file. If 
you can , grant it access =P. 

Why do we need access ? 

Syncless need root access to the drive to create a file to identify the drive. 
At the moment there is no other way for syncless to identify the drive.

I really like the look and the idea of the syncless but I have to admit syncing 
a folder on my network drive is the only thing I want to use syncless for. I 
mapped my nd
to a drive letter and syncless is the only program that has problems with it

I too only need this to backup from my internal hard drives to a network 
attached drive.  I have mapped the folder on the network drive to N:.  Comment 
11 suggested that root access to the network drive was required.  I can see 
that when I tagged the directory syncless created a folder ".syncless" in the 
root of the network drive which contains 3 files (guid.id; profiling.xml and 
tagging.xml).  However, when I try to Preview, Sync Now or change to Seamless 
mode the application crashes, closes and totally fails to do anything.

Please help

I have found that Mapping a network drive and then creating a folder within and 
syncing to this folder works well.

Z:\ - Syncless crashes when syncing
Z:\SyncFolder\ - Syncless works

It would be nice to sync to network paths without mapping drives however.
