Is this some kind of a joke? I keep my dropbox folder on a separate partition to simply redirect the dropbox daemon to that location and not have to go through the whole download process all over again. Now, after a fresh install of Fedora 21, installing this new version of dropbox prevents me from pointing it to the previously installed location stating 'This folder already contains a Dropbox directory.'.... THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED NOW!

Then, if there is already a Dropbox folder at the specified place, ask "DO YOU WANT TO USE THIS DROPBOX FOLDER?" Then I can say "yes" and everything is sweet. But right now this problem has been ongoing and ignored for years. dudes... pull your collective corporate finger out. Pleeeease.

Seriously, this is a no-brainer, and I am baffled as to why this feature hasn't been implemented. I'm losing a lot of faith in DB this morning. It pains me, because I consider DB a fabulous application. But to reiterate, on Ubuntu 16.04, using DB 9.4.49, I can't link my existing DB (with 100s of GBs of data) when configuring the application. I put the DB on a separate hard drive (and thus partition), thinking this would save me time and keep my files more consistent... Seriously, after this and testing the Paper beta, I'm beginning to not like DB. Please get this working. You can't expect users to re-sync 100s of GBs like this!!!

If you have an outdated but previously synced dropbox folder without new files on the outdated client software you should rename/remove it and let the system download newest version of files. Otherwise it will merge your old folder with up to date version on dropbox which will duplicate files (if you have moved them from one location to another within dropbox)

i have Seriously Nested Folder Heirarchy Syndrome (SNFHS) sometimes and i would like a tool that will let me manage this condition by extracting all the files from any particular parent folder and all subfolders.

I know this thread is a few years old but I read through it and felt compelled to reply. I had an SMS folder from my iphone that contained over 1,000 pictures. The folder had literally 500 sub folders. It would've taken me hours to sort it. I thought there might have been an application I could get to sort it. I was almost willing to pay for such app but a simple google search brought me here. Your solution worked PERFECTLY and showed me I had no need for any app outside of my Mac's own finder. The fact that the OP of this thread couldn't figure out your instructions and had the temerity to accuse you of giving bad advice is comical. You tell him how to open a file in finder and he thinks "this thread almost trashed my system." LOL You said nothing about trashing anything. Well that's about it. Your advice was extremely helpful and the OP is the one who owes you an apology if any apology was required.

As for checking your backup at some point you're going to have to take responsibility for your own actions or, in this case, inactions. If making sure the backup was good is so important now why didn't you do it without having to be reminded?

not to sound cranky here but i think it is really bad form to give advice and then assume that someone has run a backup prior to attempting the suggestion. i mean, i am not ungrateful for the help on the list but this is probably a good time to remind everyone of the importance of being scrupulous about verifying that a backup has recently occurred.

that is an admirably elegant and measured response. Sir, 1000 blessings on your head, I bought an iXpand thumb drive to take some videos and photos off my phone, but the drive has a nested fold structure, with one folder per month, so it's very difficult to double-check that every photo/video is indeed backed up before deleting them, and I didn't even know if there was a way to display them all in one list, like the All Photos folder on an iPhone but by God there is, and what an beautifully simple solution, thanks to you ! Not only that, but it will also be very handy for my OSX Photos app backups, (and old Time Machine backups) since they too have the nested folder structure by default. No doubt that structure has advantages but it has always felt counter-intuitive to me, so I'm overjoyed to have a found an easy way around it. Have a great day Mr Toad !!!!! ?

there is something really sort of confusing about this (i am on ML at the moment) in that the FINDER window that gets opened up just says "searching This Mac" at the top and then it shows "Search: This Mac All My Files" in the top just under the title of the window. i mean, there does not appear to be any way to determine that i am actually searching this one folder that i opened that is on my desktop /except/ by assuming that it was the window that was in fact open when i ran CMD + F.

am i missing something here or do you know what i mean? i mean, if i happened to accidentally click on another open finder window before running CMD + F there would be no way for me to know that i was about to move a bajillion files from the wrong folder. - or god forbid all my documents from THIS MAC or something?

hi OT. i was trying to reply to make sure i understood what i just did because it was a tad confusing in the UI. is there something totally messed up if you try this with a folder on the desktop or something? i ran CMD + F and then pulled down to documents and i think i just moved all my documents from somewhere /else/ and CMD + Z is not running an undo...

You haven't moved any files yet, have you? Just close that window. Then open the parent folder manually and try again. Be sure the folder name you're searching is highlighted next to This Mac before starting.

with all due respect i seriously suggest not recommending this to others and if you do to advise them to "MAKE SURE THE FOLDER YOU WANT TO UNCOLLAPSE IS LISTED IN FINDER". i say this in part because i have never found this search function to work very well in Mountain Lion and even in this case it is unclear as to what i exactly did.

i /seem/ to have moved a large number of files from my dropbox but i also move my pvm file from the Parallels folder in my Documents folder. additionally there seems to be a decent number of email attachments that got moved.

in all i can't quite tell what i did by attempting this and beyond not doing it again it could be helpful to get a handle on what happened. that said, this find feature in Finder in Mountain Lion has always behaved squirrelly in my opinion so i never use it...

This article describes the OneDrive Group Policy objects (GPOs) that administrators can configure by using Group Policy or by using administrative templates in Microsoft Intune. You can use the registry key information in this article to confirm that a setting is enabled.

Install the OneDrive sync app for Windows. (For information on the builds that are being released, and on the download builds, see release notes.) Installing the sync app downloads the .adml and .admx files.

Paste the .admx file in your domain's Central Store, \\\\*domain*\sysvol\domain\Policies\PolicyDefinitions (where domain is your domain name, such as corp.contoso.com), and the .adml file in the appropriate language subfolder, such as en-us. If the PolicyDefinitions folder doesn't exist, see How to create and manage the Central Store for Group Policy Administrative Templates in Windows, or use your local policy store under %windir%\policydefinitions.

Use security filtering to narrow the scope of a setting. By default, a setting is applied to all user and computer objects within the container to which it's linked, but you can use security filtering to narrow the scope of the policy's application to a subset of users or computers. For more information, see Filtering the scope of a GPO.

When you enable or disable a setting, the corresponding registry key is updated on computers in your domain. If you later change the setting back to Not configured, the corresponding registry key isn't modified, and the change doesn't take effect. After you configure a setting, set it to Enabled or Disabled, going forward.

(SharePointOnPremFrontDoorUrl) Specify SharePoint Server URL and organization name. This setting is for customers who have SharePoint Server 2019. For information about using the new OneDrive sync app with SharePoint Server 2019, see Configure syncing with the new OneDrive sync app.

(SharePointOnPremPrioritization) Specify the OneDrive location in a hybrid environment. This setting is for customers who have SharePoint Server 2019. For information about using the new OneDrive sync app with SharePoint Server 2019, see Configure syncing with the new OneDrive sync app.

This setting lets the OneDrive sync app remove all inherited permissions within read-only folders syncing on a user's PC. This removal of inherited permissions improves the performance of the sync app when syncing folders that the user has read-only permission to.

This setting lets you convert synced SharePoint files to online-only files when you enable OneDrive Files On-Demand. If you have many PCs syncing the same team site, enabling this setting helps you minimize network traffic and local storage usage.

If you enable this setting, files in currently syncing team sites are changed to online-only files, by default. Files later added or updated in the team site are also downloaded as online-only files. To use this setting, the computer must be running Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (version 1709) or later, and you must enable OneDrive Files On-Demand.This feature isn't enabled for on-premises SharePoint sites.

This setting lets the OneDrive sync app (OneDrive.exe) upload data in the background only when unused bandwidth is available. It prevents the sync app from interfering with other apps that are using the network. This setting is powered by the Windows LEDBAT (Low Extra Delay Background Transport) protocol. When LEDBAT detects increased latency that indicates other TCP connections are consuming bandwidth, the sync app will reduce its own consumption to prevent interference. When network latency decreases again and bandwidth is freed up, the sync app will increase the upload rate and consume the unused bandwidth.
