Download To Specific Folder
Geppe Warton
This sounds like such a simple thing but I cannot figure out how to choose specific folders to automatically backup. When I get to the backup folder selection menu in the dropbox app I have half a dozen high level choices like "Desktop", "Downloads", and "Videos" to choose from but I don't want to automatically backup any of those, I want to backup specific folders like "C:\cygwin64\home\foo\bar" - how do I tell the app to do that? I'm on a Windows 11 PC.
You can't. The Backup feature only backs up the key folders of your operating system; Desktop, Documents, Downloads, etc, along with external drives. You can't specify other folders to be backed up. Also keep in mind that Dropbox can only sync files that are located in your Dropbox folder. The backup feature works by MOVING the key folders into your Dropbox folder so they can sync. It doesn't back them up in place.

Whoever thought those are the "key folders of my operating system" made a very funny, naive and arrogant assumption.
When are you going to answer our questions?
Hello - I'm trying to set up Dropbox Backup but it won't let me select my own folders to back up. It gives me a list of folders to select from, but I want to incldue other folders (eg parts of Program Files). Is there a way to do this? I can't see a 'browse' option or similar. Many thanks.
The Backup feature only allows you to select folders that exist within your user folder, and even then, not all of them. It's meant to backup the key folders within your user profile (Desktop, Documents, Downloads, etc.).

"Is to keep local access on my PC for all files. And only have the 2 main files (or folders, not sure of correct name) on my laptop" ?
Nope. I don't want my old files accessable on my laptop at all. I ended up sending myself a link to "share" the files. I opened the link on the laptop and now have access. But I think the problem will be that the files are still just in the cloud and not actually downloaded to my laptop where I can access them easily.
I'm creating an app that is connected to a document library. The app navigation bar is a list of all the folders in the library. Once a folder is clicked I'd like for all the documents in that library to be displayed in a dynamic gallery on the page. I've gotten both the folder list created and a general gallery that shows all listings that are not folders. What I need assistance is filtering the results to show only for a specific folder.
Sure. I've included my screenshot of how I have the filter setup for my display gallery. I had the folder list print out the 'folder path' and it seems to show the correct path. Am I overlooking something simple?
This looks to be exactly what I'm looking for. I get no error when I set the function(fx) for gallery2. However, when I test, it never shows documents within the folder. Does it matter that I'm using the modern design in SharePoint 365. Does this require the classic library interface?
You need to put the folder name in the metadata of the SharePoint Library, then you can do a filtered gallery on this value. I have a SharePoint Designer 2013 workflow below that automatically assigns the first two levels of folders (you could easily extend this) into two fields in the library as soon as a document is filed. You will need to get familiar with Workflows, but they are very easy once you have a bit of practice.

If you want to export a certain directory, there are some tricks involved. The command only takes files, not directories. To apply it to directories, use the 'find' command and pipe the output to git.
The above solutions didn't work for me because I needed to check out a specific tagged version of the tree. That's how cvs export is meant to be used, by the way. git checkout-index doesn't take the tag argument, as it checks out files from index. git checkout would change the index regardless of the work tree, so I would need to reset the original tree. The solution that worked for me was to clone the repository. Shared clone is quite fast and doesn't take much extra space. The .git directory can be removed if desired.
Hello good afternoon guys.
I need some help. I would like to mount a specific folder with rclone. I started looking for something related. I ended up thinking that I need to put the google drive folder ID!! Is that really it???
When a user search for a document in my site, I want the search criteria to be applicable for specific folder. Say, I have Model Repository as a directory and that has 100s of documents. If someone searches for a given Model by Author name, or Description or some specific keywords, search engine should only look into that folder, not across the enterprise level sites.
Another option for you if you want to restrict the search within a space to a certain part of the page tree is to use the Page Tree Search. The macro allows you to specify the parent page to search under.
Thanks, Manon. I'll explore Livesearch Macro feature. I'm pretty new to Confluence, my questions could be quite basic, but instead of getting lost, thought of taking help from the community and solve my teething problems quickly. Much appreciated for the quick response.
I open a folder and get in the terminal just: PS D\andSoOn_theFolderPath >
To get to Julia (if one can say it like that) I have to run a lin of code of a program in my folder, what am I doing wrong?
If I set my Julia environment in the left corner of VSCode to anything else than my current folder I get the error (That occurs in many other questions as well): Julia package not part of your current environment. Is that bad? It seems to run that way, kind of.
If I got it right, you are stuck in the very first action: how to open a Julia REPL to run commands. You have the specific instructions for that in this page:
-vscode.org/docs/stable/userguide/runningcode/
All I wanted is to run a Julia file, thats it. The example I tried is the link (PowerModels, but any would work for me, I just need an example), it does have a Project and Manifest file. I am in the right path, I guess, and I did activate and instantiated (what I think is the current folder with those files).
I have, but I will dig deeper, my specific Problem is posted as an answer to PetrKrysIUCSD here in this discussion, maybe thet helps to clarify. But I will dig deeper.
The way I try it seems just too hard for just running code.
In WARNING: using x.x in module Main conflicts with an existing identifier my problem occurs. Basically, the problem seems to be, that I cnt really operate in Julia and I try to fix that. I just want any Code from Github with everythin included, e.g. Manifest, Projekt, a src-folder and maybe some other folders with example programs. I then want to run that without havin problems and I dont get there. Maybe its because the Code is wrong, but I dont think that. [PetrKryslUCSD] just send me an example and I will try that first.
Sorry for asking so basic things!
Well, first of all do NOT checkout PowerModuls.jl or any other package you want to use from git. (Unless you want to modify it). Do NOT use the Project.toml file from any package, create your own instead.
Example:
Another problem is that this example from the quickstart guide of the package PowerModels does not work. I created an issue in the package: Example does not work Issue #826 lanl-ansi/PowerModels.jl GitHub
PROBLEM:
I am workin on a few projects for a specific site in our sharepoint tenant. This site is extremely lare with over 3.5TB of data. I need to run a few reports that are specific to individual folders in the site. The problem I have is that when I connect through Power Query, it forces the entire site contents to be loaded and does not allow me to hit the specific folder without first hitting the entire sharepoint site. So this mean I am first loading every folder on the sharepoint site and then filtering to a folder. The causes the reports and refreshes to take an excruciatingly long time to load and refresh because it is not just refreshing the folder but the entire site data in the query.
it will be awesome if there is a way to connect directly to a folder, instead of going trough the entire site first, but unfortunately there is no workaround yet, or i will be more than happy to know if there is one !
