    Life after 10,000 files

    Hi, When a FolderShare Library does exceed 10,000 files, what is the
    recommended procedure for reconnecting the devices and bringing the Library
    into a consistent state once the number of files has been reduced on one of
    the devices?

    Thanks,
    Edmund

    Thank you for your post, Edmund

    How many libraries do you have? if less than 10, then you could create more
    libraries and move files across the libraries.

    FYI:
    You can create up to 10 libraries, each of which can contain up to 10,000
    files.

    Thank you.

    RE: Life after 10,000 files

    Thanks for your reply. The question is really about resynchronising the
    Library after reducing the number of files in a library below 10,000.

    After a library exceeds (by mistake) 10,000 files, the devices are all
    unable to connect to FolderShare. Once the number of files has been reduced
    below 10,000 on one of the devices (either by dividing into 2 Libraries or
    removing some files) how can we then get the other devices back into sync
    without having to start fresh again and copy all the data again?

    I have a number of customers using FolderShare and although they know about
    the limit, they still make mistakes so we need a safe process for recovering
    when their libraries overflow.

    Hi, Edmund

    If that's the question, you can get an answer from our online help which you
    can get there by either
    1) Click FolderShare systray icon -> More -> Help
    2) Go to FolderShare website -> Click "Help Central"

    Under Troubleshoot -> "Computer disconnects from a library"
    When you try to connect to or sync (The process of uploading and downloading
    information between two or more computers so that the information on each
    computer is identical.) with a library, you may receive an error message
    that states that your computer has been disconnected from the library. To
    troubleshoot this issue, try the following in the order that they appear:

    .. Delete files from the library. FolderShare libraries may contain no more
    than 10,000 files.

    1. On your computer, open the folder that syncs with the library.
    2. Select and delete files from the library until there are fewer than
    10,000 files in the library.
    3. In the notification area (The area on the taskbar to the right of the
    taskbar buttons. The notification area displays the time and can also
    contain shortcuts that provide quick access to programs such as Volume
    Control and Power Options.) on the taskbar, click the FolderShare beta icon
    , and then click "FolderShare website"
    4. Click the library that you're trying to connect to.
    5. Click Sync with a new computer.
    6. In the list of available computers, click the computer that was
    disconnected from the library.
    7. Select a folder or create a new folder that you want to sync, and then
    click Next.
    8. Choose the sync setting you want, and then click Finish.

    Thanks you.
