| | Foldershare feature Is there any way to prevent deletions on one of the computers? I would like to use this software as more of a backup then to have access on multiple computers. It makes me really nervous to think that if something happened and files were deleted on a connected PC it would delete it on all PCs. If this is not possible, perhaps the Microsoft team members can add this feature into the next release. -Ryan |

If a file is added locally at that Contributor computer then the addition will be propagated to the library and to all who share it. But if a file is deleted locally then when FS next runs there will appear an on-screen warning that deletions are not permitted and will not be propagated and that file will be replaced from the library. Note, the files in the library may become set by FS to write-protected on the "Contributor" computer and that setting may hinder your use of them there. Feel free to change the files' attributes to write-enabled as that setting will not affect the inability to delete files from the library, only the inability to make local deletions that will anyway be replaced.
