Suspending file sync

To suspend file sync temporarily, turn off syncing for a sync folder.

You may want to turn off file syncing temporarily, for example, if you are making a lot of changes to files and want to sync when the changes are complete. To stop sync, you must remove the account.

  • To suspend sync activities temporarily, click the HCL Connections icon in the menu bar or right-click the icon in the Dock and choose Display-name My Drive > Suspend sync.

    You can resume sync later by choosing Display-name My Drive > Resume sync.

  • To turn off syncing from the server, click on the HCL Connections icon in the menu bar or right-click the icon in the Dock and select Preferences from the menu. Select the account in the Accounts sidebar that you want to stop syncing and click the minus icon. Click Remove this Account from the dialog box. Removing an account does not delete any content. The contents of the associated sync folder are copied to a new folder and the server and all sub-folders are removed from your HCL Connections folder.

  • To stop syncing a file or folder you can remove it from My Drive. Note that removing a file or folder from My Drive does not delete the file or folder. Also, if a file is in more than one location in My Drive, for example if you add the file to My Drive and then later add a folder containing the file to My Drive, you must remove all of the instances of the file from My Drive to turn off syncing for the file.
