Exact mirror without subfolders not working

Post by roclab »

Hi,

I need to do an exact mirror of a folder without the subfolders.

So I select Include Subfolders - None and Exact mirror.

But the subfolders are still synchronizing.

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Hello,
thanks for your enquiry!

Does the job just create one level of empty subfolders, or does it actually go into the subfolders and copy files in them too?

I ask because I can't confirm the problem.

Can you test the latest version 10.16.2?

How do you know it's synchronizing the subfolders? Did you see them in the Sync Preview or in the log file? Because maybe it was another job or even another program that created the subfolders.

Can you post your settings? They are at the end of the log file and can also be seen via the Information tab sheet in the profile.

Hi,

It does create the subfolders but doesn`t sync the content.

Is there a way to prevent the folders creation ?

Thanks

Hi,
yes, probably by updating Syncovery.

Alternatively, you can choose a flat right side with 0 levels on the "Folders" tab sheet in the profile.
