Windows 10 - Accidentally Clicked Make Available Offline for 700 GB drive.... How to stop sync?
I was trying to access the folder in a new window and stutter clicked on the context menu and clicked "Make Available Offline" for a drive that's 700 GB of design files.. Aside from quitting the app to prevent it from syncing the entire drive and bricking my hard drive to capacity, is there a way to undo this setting? I'm afraid to restart the app because I don't know if it will continue the syncing process.
Thanks,
T.
UPDATE - there is a function in the context menu to make it online only again. But it's still going through the process of syncing 100,000 files so Dropbox is basically useless at the moment until it finishes.
Hi Jay- I am also having this issue- I accidentally hit the download/cloud icon in my mac finder- and now it's downloading a massive amount of unwanted files to my computer- it's going to freeze my machine and make DB inoperable for hours. Is there no way to stop this download in it's tracks? I have no interest in ALL of the files in that folder being online only- so that isn't a great solution for me either- this was a massive folder containing subfolders and certain things I need immediate access to- and some i wanted stored online. It's 2 years past this post- has this issue been addressed? If not, my day is F#$! Thanks
