File synchronisation

📘 Where can I find the synchronised data?

You can access the synchronised data with the Windows File Explorer.

A quick link to the GeoCloud Drive folder and the projects is available in the navigation pane of the File Explorer:

The path of the file folder is:

C:\Users\username\GeoCloud Drive

Every project has its own folder.

📘 When does file synchronisation happen?

The synchronisation happens automatically as long as logged in:

1. Any time a file or the folder structure of a project changes on the local drive.

2. Any time a file or the folder structure of a project changes on the cloud storage.

📘 Download on demand

1. The synchronisation process clones only the structure of the cloud storage to the location storage.

2. The files are only downloaded on demand when they are used/opened or on request when working offline.

📘 Working offline

1. Right-click on the file, folder or zip file.

2. Click Always keep on this device.
   

   

3. You can start working offline.

📘 Free up space on the local drive without deleting a file from the cloud

1. Right-click on a file, which is not needed on the local storage.

2. Click Free up space.

   

The file is not removed from the cloud storage.
