2.3. Notes

Changing the password You cannot change the password in OX Drive. Files uses the same password that you use for accessing the groupware.

Name restrictions In order to successfully synchronise files and folders, their names must not contain certain characters.

  • Files and folders are not synchronised if their names include one of the following characters:

    < > : " / \ | ? *

  • Files are not synchronised if their name corresponds to a reserved device name:

    CON, PRN, AUX, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, LPT9

  • The following files are not synchronised:

    desktop.ini, Thumbs.db, .DS_Store, icon\r

    Files with the ending .drivepart

  • The following folders are not synchronised:

    /.drive

Upper and lower case in file names On some systems the file names in the folders are case sensitive. If you create such files in your local folder, only one of those files will be synchronised. Do not use file names that differ only as regards the upper and lower cases in your local folder.

Do not edit the same file in more than one location To avoid loss of data you should not open or edit a file in the local and the remote folder or on several clients at the same time.

File versions if you change a file in the local folder, OX Drive creates a new file version in the remote folder. In the local folder only the current file version is displayed.
