8.14 Moving an iFolder

After you create an iFolder, the path to the iFolder is static. You cannot move an iFolder from its original location to another location on your local computer and have it remain an iFolder. Moving the iFolder breaks the link between the synchronization database and the folder you converted to an iFolder.

To move an iFolder on the computer where you created it:

  1. In a file manager or the iFolder browser, select the iFolder you want to move.

  2. Revert the iFolder to a normal folder.

  3. In a file manager, move the folder to another location on the computer.

  4. Convert the folder back to an iFolder and upload the iFolder to the server.

  5. (Optional) Share the iFolder.

  6. Allow the iFolder to synchronize files with the iFolder server.

To move an iFolder on a participating computer:

  1. In iFolders, revert the iFolder to stop participating in the iFolder on the current computer.

  2. Select the available iFolder, then click Download.

  3. Specify a new local path where you want to place the iFolder.

  4. Allow the iFolder to synchronize files with the iFolder server.
