I have a work computer behind a firewall that I am trying to sync with my
home computer behind a router. What ports need access to be able to allow
syncing to work properly? The file at home shows a .p2p extension but never
finishes transferring.

Hi James,

FolderShare typically uses ports 80, 443, 6571, and 8000. (You can see
this list by clicking on the FolderShare icon, then choosing More ->
Settings -> Port Status. You may need to click on "Test Your Connection"
for the port list to appear.) If you're still having trouble syncing, try
adding these ports to FolderShare's allowed list in your firewall settings.

Let us know how it goes!

Thanks,
Sarah [MSFT]

I actually was using a Mac to sync with my PC. I figured out that the issue
was not firewall related but encryption issues. As soon as I disabled
Encrypt transfers on both clients they started transferring files immediately.

Here it works between a Windows machine and an apple with activated
encryption.
