Changing download properties for Files tool folders
You can change folder properties that specify when to download new files. By default, a new folder you create inherits its download settings from its parent folder. The default setting for the Files (Root Folder) in a new workspace you create is Automatic. If you're invited to a workspace, your initial default settings are inherited from the member who invited you.
If you change download properties for a folder to Manual, this means that you must manually download any new files that other members place in that folder. However, once a file is downloaded, all updates to that file are automatically downloaded, regardless of the folder download setting.
To change a folder's download properties:
- Right-click the folder and select Properties.
- Select the Download tab in the Properties dialog box.
- Set the download options you want, and click OK.
Details
- To download all new files automatically, select Full Automatic Download.
- To download new files automatically provided they're within a certain size limit, select Limited Automatic Download and then enter a size limit, in megabytes. If a new file exceeds the size limit, Groove will list the file and make it available for downloading manually.
- To download new files manually, select Manual Download.
Tip You can set any file to automatically download updates whenever another member saves file updates. On the File menu, point to Properties, click File, and then check Automatically keep this file up to date.
- If the folder has subfolders, select an option to apply to subfolders and click OK.
