To move the desktop client's Synced Folder to a new location on a local machine, you will need to unregister and then reregister the desktop client to the appropriate user account.
Best Practice: When selecting a Synced Folder location, do not select an external drive. Desktop clients install on an external drive can unregister unexpectedly, and might lead to data loss.
Instructions
-
Click the system tray icon, click the Manage icon, and select Preferences.
-
In the Overview tab, click the Unregister icon.
A popup message displays, indicating that unregistering the device will stop the sync process, but will not delete the files on the computer. -
Click the Unregister button to confirm and continue.
-
Now that the device is unlinked, click the Register icon again. The Registration Wizard displays.
-
In the Registration screen, enter the email address and password provided by the Welcome email and click the Next button to continue.
- In the Select Destination of Folder screen, select the Select destination radio button, and then click the Next button.
- In the Select Destination screen, click the Browse button to specify another location on your local machine. Click the Next button when you are finished.
Note: A folder named Synced Folder will automatically be created within the location you select. You do not need to manually create a folder titled, Synced Folder.
Best Practice: When selecting a Synced Folder location, do not select an external drive. Desktop clients install on an external drive can unregister unexpectedly, and might lead to data loss. - You will receive a warning message indicating that a folder already exists. Click the Merge button to merge with the existing folder, which saves time during the resyncing process.
- Click the Next button when you are finished. When the Registration Wizard completes the registration process, you will be able to access your vBoxx Sync Folder from the new location.
