File status

File status refers to the current file's situation, which is determined by the user's download settings and whether the synchronization of synchronization target files is in progress or complete.

Accordingly, depending on the status of the file,

• You can use it at any time, even without an internet connection.
• You can use it only when connected to the internet.
• You can tell if it has finished synchronizing.

Default file statuses

By default, all files in the sync settings are online-only.

If a user selects 'Enable use online only', the sync status switches to local-only after opening or right-clicking the file and saving the file locally.

Local-only files and folders are always downloaded and kept up to date.

Such a file does not take up space on your PC as it will not be downloaded to your device until you download the file manually. Marked with a cloud icon in the list of sync folders.
Temporary local only		When you open an online-only file, indicates that the data has been downloaded to your PC. You can open the file anytime without an internet connection. If you need more space, you can change the status by selecting 'Enable use online only'.
