Useful app with recent issues. 4.x update removed the option to create FolderPairs that use the "legacy V1" engine (not documented in the changelog). Problem is, V2 engine doesn't have feature parity. In my case V2 gets stuck on syncing via SMB2 because there are root-owned ACL files in a hidden subdirectory that it can't read -- V1 I can tell "skip hidden files" and this is not a problem -- V2 doesn't have that option. Go back to app version 3.5x and can create V1 folderpair and works great...
