One issue is that those of us who used Synk for so long have a lot of backups that cannot be accessed (if we used the archive old version feature). Without Synk installed and able to run (which it can't on Sierra/High Sierra), there is no way to access these old archives.
I WROTE A SCRIPT to extract these archives from the .synkarchive files. Anyone who would like this script should reply to this Comment with a way to get in contact with you, and I'll send the script.
Synk and Synk pro will be discontinued.
what a pity it has been discontinued. I would have paid for an upgrade
That doesn't have mean it is broken but the risks of something going wrong are increasing continually. It is a truly abandoned application, right now the income from the occasional purchase seem to still exceed the costs of running their website.
I am in the process of switching to Chronosync which seems the closest product in terms of features (for me: managing a largish number of backup scripts with easy enough and detailed enough rule setting) and having a very good reputation (it doesn't have live synching but I never used that with Synk).
Its latest update was less than two weeks ago which add several Yosemite compatibility updates.
In which case you might want to change your rating to something more appropriate?
The problem with 200% CPU usage is real. I had the same issue and got in touch with Tony who has been very responsive and supportive to investigate and help.
We could narrow it down to the combination of having a) an external monitor attached and b) the Synk menu item on. (But it does not seem to be a problem with external monitors in general.)
Disabling the Synk menu item worked around the issue under Yosemite. But of course, then I was missing the helpful Synk menu with at-a-glimple status info.
Thankfully under El Capitan the problem has not appeared for me (so far). Under El Capitan I have also disabled the old Menu Meters menu item (required compatibility update). So maybe that was the underlying cause: An incompatibility between the Menu Meters menu item and the Synk menu item.
