2.11 Exiting an iFolder Client Session

The Exit command terminates your Novell iFolder client session. It also removes the iFolder icon from the system tray on your workstation.

Unlike the Logout command, which simply suspends synchronization, the Exit command turns off the logging and tracking of changes to files in your local iFolder directory. Without a log of changes, iFolder must search the metadata on the server and your workstation to determine what needs to be synchronized, create the log, and then synchronize files. Thus, the elapsed time you need to allow for the synchronization process can be much longer.

Upload and download conflicts might also occur when you start a new iFolder client session after exiting. iFolder writes the files involved in conflicts to the Conflict Bin.

To start a new iFolder session after exiting, click Start > Programs > Novell iFolder > iFolder Client.
