I understand the challenge here. You have a public BTSync share using a single instance, which makes your device's IP visible to many users. While you want certain more sensitive devices to access specific files but not be part of the public pool, you encounter an issue when trying to add the same folder to multiple sync tasks—you get an error saying the folder is already synced. The problem lies in preventing duplicate entries while still allowing shared access. With FreeNAS 9.3 and BTSync plugin version 2.2.7, you might need to adjust folder permissions or use a different approach to manage file inclusion across syncs without conflicts.

Sync won't let this through. After making it public, folder permissions change based on your settings—read vs read write. Try making a new folder, create a symlink from the files to it, and then sync again. This method seems to work on Linux ext systems; I'm not sure about BSD jail.
