Convert to online-only status
In the case of local-only files and temporary local-only files, you can convert them to online-only status if you are running low on space.
If synchronization fails due to a lack of storage capacity, you can optimize capacity by converting local-only files and temporary local-only files to online-only.
Like so, you can keep them in online-only status normally and download them only when needed.
However, files support status transitions, while folders do not.
- Select a file to change it to online-only status in the sync folder.
- Click 'Enable use online only'.
Delete
Deleted online-only files can be found in the PC Web Drive Trash. They can be restored only from the Drive PC web.
They cannot be found in the user's PC Trash.
- Select the file to delete in the sync folder.
- Click 'Trash'.
Move
Online-only files can be moved within the sync folder.
If you move files outside the sync folder, you can download and transfer online-only files.
You can move online-only files after changing them to local-only.
- After selecting the file, you can change it by selecting 'Always Keep on This Device'.
Move within the sync folder
Drag and drop the online-only file in the sync folder to the location you want to move it to within the sync folder.
Move outside the sync folder
Drag and drop the online-only file from the sync folder to the location you want to move it to outside the sync folder.
- The online-only file that was previously in the sync folder is converted to a temporary local-only file and is removed from the sync folder.
- You can check the removed files in the Drive Trash on the PC web.
Copy
If you are copying an online-only file, the file is downloaded, and then copied in the state of a temporary local-only file. The same applies to moving the file outside the sync folder.
- In the sync folder, click the online-only file you want to copy.
- Click 'Copy'.
- Move to the location to copy the file.
- Click on the empty space.
- Click 'Paste'.
Rename
Renaming an online-only file doesn't change the sync status of the file.
- In the sync folder, click the online-only file you want to rename.
- Click 'Rename'.
- Enter a name to change the file name.
