Briefcase synchronization

I sync files on a network drive by using the Briefcase. The network drive has been moved to a new server and now has a new path. Is there a way to change the Briefcase to synchronize with the original files that are now on the network drive with the new path?

Hi daringray,

You can try to create a new Briefcase on the other machine and check if it helps.

    I was told that the use of portfolio can result in loss of data. Is this true? How?

    Hello

    In aid of the Briefcase to store files does not result in data loss. However, for reasons uncertain when you perform certain actions on the files in the Briefcase on another computer data on the Briefcase cannot synchronize properly which can roll down the changes to the other computer.

  • Briefcase and not being able to open files

    I created a case and sent to a public folder in the office then sent the case to another office.  Added email and document to this file, but now when I try to open it, it says the file is open on another computer and can not be open - or something like that.  No other files are open.  Notice also that in the case in short there are folders with the same name and with the same files? -How can I access this information on just this computer?

    Hi, Pat.

    Go in your Briefcase and for all files that are NOT tagged orphan

    Right-click on the file and select Properties.

    Click on the update status tab

    Click Split from Original

    Press Yes and your file is back for an orphan.

    If you wish to continue using the synchronization options with the towel (on 2 or more computers) and you get this message when you try to save a file, close all folders and/or the portfolio himself and you should have access to the towel.

    http://www.computing.NET/answers/Windows-XP/Briefcase-is-in-use-by-another-comp/92485.html

    Until you try to synchronize the Briefcase, make sure that all files are closed.

    You can use Briefcase to keep files in sync between two different computers, even if the computers aren't on the same network. If the computers aren't on the same network, you can copy files from one computer to another by using removable media, work on those files using the other computer, and then use Briefcase to sync the changes back to the original computer only.

  • Briefcase does not

    I use Microsoft cases on one for many years and am overall pretty happy with them.  I didn't have the used for several years, but he was happy to see that they have always supported in W7.  I hope that someone out there still know how to solve them!

    I use several Briefcase to synchronize files to a network drive on a USB flash drive.  When I'm at work, I work with files directly, but when I'm working remotely (which is often), I just use the Briefcase because it is much faster than the work through my internet connection to the network drive.  It worked fine for 6 months and more, except for a case occasionally briefcases becomes orphaned.  That was quite rare however.  Also, I want to talk about hundreds of cases per towel, actually, I just checked and there are 300-400 MB per towel.  BTW, I have someone who works with me on this project, and that he was also using the Briefcase.

    Lately, I've been a couple of strange things begin to happen.  The question, I'm looking for help is that today ' today, I tried to update the Briefcase, and each of them tells me that files that are modified in places, the original network drive and the portfolio, should be deleted.  Of course, this is meaningless.  Also, when I checked on individual files, 99% of them show up with a status of "updated", but these are the same files that Windows tells me should be deleted.

    I didn't know this before behavious, or if I have, it was followed soon after by the orphan, I guess because it's a sign of corrupt Briefcase.  The problem is that I just created these binders yesterday, and everything must be up to date (and in fact appears when you check the status).

    FYI, I use Citrix to connect to the network drive, and I use the version of Citrix Windows Explorer to check the status of the files (I can't use the local version of Solution Explorer, because it will not see the network drive).  At work, I'm running XP, and remotely, I use W7.  As I said, this arrangement has worked well for many months.  Also, for the record, because I had a few problems last week, I removed several folders of each towel, so the overall size of the file is less than it was before (when it was working perfectly).

    Let me know if you need other information.  Thank you.

    ===========

    Quick update: I have also examples where it shows the network version Unmodified, the Briefcase version changed, even though I know that's not, and the recommended action is skip - modified time.  Very strange.

  • How the terms on average 'sandbox' & "Briefcase" of Vista?

    Hello

    A sandbox is a security mechanism for separating running programs. It is often used to run the code untested, or unapproved programs from third parties not verified suppliers, untrusted users and unreliable websites.

  • Briefcase has left an empty copy after I moved it.

    I noticed a strange behaviour in my computer, specifically the Briefcase folder. When I created the folder, the first icon I see is regular folder icon, until I pressed the Enter key. If I moved by using the cut command, it is moved to another location, and I'm more in its first position. But when I do one Briefcase with the same name in the same place, it is named new portfolio 2. When I close and re-open the folder where it is located, the previous portfolio appear, although its empty and the icon is a regular folder, not on the Briefcase icon. Similar to when the file has been moved, he left a copy empty and not visible until I make another folder of Briecase with the same name. If anyone can help me explain why and how to get rid of the copy.

    Hello ma.slzr

    Portfolio such as implemented in Vista has serious problems, and it seems that they are not going to be fixed.  The reason may be that, in practice, the case is obsolete.

    If you must use Briefcase in Vista, create a new Briefcase object each time, rather than stick a former.   Use the new command on the desktop to create, and then use Windows Explorer to move it to the destination folder before adding files to synchronize.  Even in this case, in my experience, portfolio won't be reliable.  Often, it crashes and it loses files.  Prior to Vista, I used the Briefcase for years without problem.  On Vista, it was nothing but trouble.

    Fortunately, Microsoft provides a new and much better synchronization tool called Toy Synch.  You can find it here:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=c26efa36-98E0-4ee9-a7c5-98d0592d8c52

    Synch toy 2.1 is more flexible and more powerful than the Briefcase.   I use it all day on Vista and would highly recommend it.

  • Investigation of Briefcase

    Hello guys,.

    I copied a folder in a Briefcase for I can use it in another computer. Is it normal that all of the files did not copy?
     
    When I compare the properties of the original file with the one inside the case, the number of files do not match.
    Thank you very much in advance

    Briefcase is a tool that has been used since Windows 95 and was probably included for backward compatibility. Many users went to other methods of synchronization of files and folders. Not sure why portfolio is slow and hung in Windows 7. I know that this is something that is familiar to you, but you may want to consider another option.
     
    I suggest you try SynToy 2.1 that you can download from the Microsoft Website. Click on the link here to download SyncToy 2.1. It is easily customized and should be able to do what you want with the flash drive and back up your files.

  • need stop synchronization before finishing to avoid ipod classic remove

    I've updated to itunes version 12.5.1, as well as Windows 10.  If I let my ipod classic finish syncing, everything on the ipod is removed.  So I have to restore the ipod in disk mode so that itunes recognizes the ipod and avoid itunes gel settings.  I found the only way to keep my music is to stop synchronization before it ends or the entire contents of the ipod is removed, and I'll have to go through the process of restoring ipod to factory settings again.  During synchronization, I disable the Windows 10 firewall and anti virus as Apple support told me that it could interfere with itunes.  What is - this with the finishing of sync that removes my ipod?

    It's weird...  Hard drive it is possible to the iPod becomes unreliable and is damaged during the synchronization process.  What happens if you set it up to only synchronize a small number of songs, instead of "all"?  For example, on the settings screen of music from iPod in iTunes, rather than choose to synchronize the entire musical library, choose the option to synchronize playlists, artists, albums, and genres, and select only a SINGLE album.  These songs always get deleted at the end of synchronization?

  • Backup iphone to mac, but am trying to get you want to synchronize.

    I have backup my iphone to icloud, but I want to be very sure and also create a backup itunes periodically.  So I read about it and it seems pretty easy.  But I have a question:

    When I connect my iphone 6 to my iMac, iTunes open, because it asks me to authorize the computer, I see up on step 3 (I think it's #3) «Sync iPhone...» "and underneath it says"determine what applications to synchronize. "BUT, I don't want to 'sync', I want only to save.  I unplugged the power cord and it stopped in its tracks.

    My question, why is it automatically attempt to synchronize before I have a chance to start the backup?  IS this a normal behavior?

    And I don't want anything from my Mac on my iphone.

    Thank you!

    Probably because you have iTunes automatically sync value. I think that's the default behavior. I do not use Mac, but in Windows, you're going in Edition > Preferences > devices and you put a check mark prevent auto-sync iPhones. There must be a similar setting for Mac. Which should help you to find a way to find out.

    Once you do this, you can connect the device and not to worry about synchronization and then simply click on the Save button after selecting the phone.
