Delete Local Folders Removed From Selective Sync

By default, when a user removes a FileCloud file from selective sync, the file is not deleted from the local drive. To offer the user the option of deleting a file from the local drive when the user removes it from selective sync, add the deletelocallysyncedfolder setting to the Sync configuration file, syncclientconfig.xml, and set it to 1.

To enable users to delete local folders removed from selective sync:

1. Stop the FileCloud Sync App.
2. Open the syncclientconfig.xml file.
   Windows location: %APPDATA%\FileCloudSync\syncclientconfig.xml
   Mac OSX location: {HomeDir}\FileCloudSync\syncclientconfig.xml
   Linux location: {HomeDir}\FileCloudSync\syncclientconfig.xml

3. Add the following setting:
   

   <rowentry>
        <name>deletelocallysyncedfolder</name>
        <type>bool</type>
        <value>1</value>
   </rowentry>

   
   

4. Restart FileCloud Sync.
