I may already know the answer to this, but here's the situation:

 

I have a BTSync share, in a single instance of the program, that's public. The way the program works, that will expose the IP of this particular device to the public pool of connected users. 

There's a few other (more sensitive) devices that I'd also like to have those files, but not be included in that public P2P pool. When I try to set up a second Sync entry (with a different key) for that same synced folder from eariler I get the pretty obvious error "Selected Folder is already added to Sync". Not only does this error not allow me to add the same folder as a new sync, but I can't add any folders higher in the file structure which include it either.

 

Is there a way to add the same files to two different sync tasks without having duplicate files?

 

Machine is running FreeNAS 9.3 with a BTSync plugin jail v 2.2.7.

Sync will not allow this. Once public the folder permission is different. Depending on your settings. Read vs read write. Create a new folder and symlink the files to a new folder and sync that. I know this works on ext filesystem on linux not sure about BSD jail.
