Environment

Novell Filr 1.1

Situation

Filr Desktop client no longer synchronizes folders/files if a previously synchronized folder was moved to a new folder when the Desktop client was offline.

  1. Shut down the Filr Desktop client
  2. Create a new folder on the local filesystem (My Files > New Folder 1)
  3. Move a previously synchronized folder into the folder created in Step 2
