This feature is available after applying for WORKS Drive or the Standard or Standard Plus plan of NAVER WORKS Core.<\/div><\/div><\/p>\n

Windows Drive Explorer offers 2 sync methods: virtual drive mode and 1:1 folder sync mode.<\/p>\n

1:1 folder sync is a feature that allows you to link 1 folder from NAVER WORKS Drive with 1 folder on your PC. Any changes made on the PC web, mobile app, or Drive Explorer are reflected in real time in your PC folder.<\/p>\n

However, synced folders can only be accessed or used when connected to a network.<\/p>\n

Drive Explorer can be accessed on up to 3 PCs using the same login account.<\/p>\n

Sync folders<\/h1>\n

Select 1 folder from your PC and 1 folder from NAVER WORKS Drive to begin syncing.<\/p>\n

The selected folder will be synced, including its files and subfolders.<\/p>\n

You can add up to 20 folders to your sync settings. Even if the sync is disabled, it will be counted as 1 when listed.<\/p>\n

To sync a folder with a different one, you need to delete it from the list and then add a new one.<\/p>\n

However, you cannot select a folder to sync in the following cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Folders in your PC (Local folder)<\/td>\nFolders in NAVER WORKS Drive<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
    \n
  • Unknown folders (photos, music, videos)<\/li>\n
  • Folders with special characters in names<\/li>\n
  • Root folders (Desktop folder, Windows folder, etc.)<\/li>\n
  • Folders synced with removable storage devices<\/li>\n
  • Folders of virtual drive<\/li>\n
  • Windows, Program Files folder and subfolders<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n
\n
    \n
  • Folders without permission to edit<\/li>\n
  • Root folders (Shared Drive, Message Room Folder, My Drive)<\/li>\n
  • Subfolders of a folder that is already being synced<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

    Windows<\/h3>
    \n
      \n
    1. Run Drive Explorer and log in.<\/li>\n
    2. Right-click the Drive Explorer icon on the taskbar.<\/li>\n
    3. Click 'Settings'.<\/li>\n
    4. Click the 'Sync Setting' tab.<\/li>\n
    5. Click 'Add'.<\/li>\n
    6. Click 'Select' to select the NAVER WORKS folder and PC folder to sync.<\/li>\n
    7. Click 'OK'.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

      To start real-time sync, turn on the settings on the right side of the folder added to the list.<\/p>\n

      Precautions when setting up folder sync<\/h2>\n

      Setting the existing Drive Explorer sync folder to the My Computer folder with the new Explorer 1:1 folder sync settings fails.<\/p>\n

      Most of the files in the existing Drive Explorer sync folder are online-only files.<\/p>\n

      A file in an online-only state is a type of file that contains only metadata (information defining the file) and does not contain content data (the actual content of the document).<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Metadata: Information such as the filename, date modified, file size, path, etc.<\/li>\n
      • Content data: Actual contents of the file<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        The new Drive Explorer's 1:1 folder sync setting supports synchronization in a form where 100% of the data is saved to My Computer. In other words, normal synchronization is possible only if both the file's metadata and content data exist.<\/p>\n

        In the case of files within folders in the existing NAVER WORKS Drive Explorer, there will be files that are 100% saved on My Computer, and there may also be files that are in an online-only state.<\/p>\n

        When proceeding with 1:1 folder sync, it pre-checks and verifies the status of files within the My Computer folder you wish to configure, specifically whether they are 'saved on My Computer'.<\/p>\n

        If they are not saved on My Computer, it cannot be guaranteed that synchronization will proceed as normal, and sync failures may occur as a result.<\/p>\n

        If you also set up a sync folder in the Explorer of other services (OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, etc.), synchronization may not proceed normally for the same reasons mentioned above, and it may be treated as a sync failure.<\/p>\n

        Unsync folder<\/h1>\n

        You can disable sync for folders that do not need to be synced in real time.
        \nDisabling sync will stop real-time syncing, but the data synced up to that point will remain on your PC.
        \nEven if it is already being synced, it will be automatically canceled in the following cases:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • If you lose editing permission for the NAVER WORKS Drive folder<\/li>\n
        • If the drive on your PC or NAVER WORKS Drive that contains the folder to be synced is running out of space<\/li>\n
        • If the folder name of your PC has changed<\/li>\n
        • If a folder is deleted from your PC or NAVER WORKS Drive<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Windows<\/h3>
          \n
            \n
          1. Run Drive Explorer and log in.<\/li>\n
          2. Right-click the Drive Explorer icon on the taskbar.<\/li>\n
          3. Click 'Settings'.<\/li>\n
          4. Click the 'Sync Setting' tab.<\/li>\n
          5. Disable the setting on the right of the folder you want to unsync.<\/li>\n
          6. Click 'OK'.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

            Unsync folder<\/h1>\n

            You can permanently stop syncing by deleting a folder from the sync list.<\/p>\n

            Select and delete the folder regardless of its sync status. If it was synced, the content will remain on your PC until it was deleted.<\/p>\n

            Windows<\/h3>
            \n
              \n
            1. Run Drive Explorer and log in.<\/li>\n
            2. Right-click the Drive Explorer icon on the taskbar.<\/li>\n
            3. Click 'Settings'.<\/li>\n
            4. Click the 'Sync Setting' tab.<\/li>\n
            5. Select \"\" left to the folder to delete.
              \nYou can select multiple folders.<\/li>\n
            6. Click 'Remove'.<\/li>\n
            7. Click 'OK'.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

              Display folder sync list status<\/h1>\n

              The setting display changes based on whether sync is enabled or disabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
              Setting<\/strong><\/td>\nStatus<\/strong><\/td>\nDescription<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
              \"\"<\/td>\nSync in progress<\/td>\nStatus in which sync is in progress<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
              \"\"<\/td>\nUnsynced<\/td>\nStatus in which sync was manually stopped<\/p>\n
                \n
              • When a folder is first added to the sync list, it is initially displayed as unsynced since sync does not start automatically.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
              \"\"<\/td>\nAutomatically unsynced<\/td>\nAutomatically stopped when sync can no longer proceed<\/p>\n
                \n
              • \"\" You can click the icon to check the reason.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

                Folder sync failures and conflicts<\/h1>\n

                If 1:1 folder sync fails or conflicts occur, you can check the items and reasons in the confirmation window.<\/p>\n

                  \n
                • Sync failed: When a specific file or folder fails to sync due to an error<\/li>\n
                • Conflicted: When a synced file or folder is edited separately on both the PC and NAVER WORKS Drive, causing differences in file data or information<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  However, if the folder sync is automatically disabled due to a change in permissions or a modification to the path, it will not be processed as a failure or conflict.<\/p>\n

                  If Conflicted occurs, files will be saved in the NAVER WORKS Drive folder and your PC in the following formats.<\/p>\n

                    \n
                  • NAVER WORKS Drive Folder: [Conflict_Serverl]File.ext<\/li>\n
                  • Your PC: [Conflict_Local]File.ext<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                    Windows<\/h3>
                    \n
                      \n
                    1. After the sync process is complete, click the 'Failed\/Conflicted Items' button in the displayed confirmation window.<\/li>\n
                    2. Click the 'Failed' or 'Conflicted' tab.<\/li>\n
                    3. Check errors and status.\n
                        \n
                      • Fail: Check the name of the item and the reason for failure.<\/li>\n
                      • Conflict: Check the original name of the item and the name saved on your PC and NAVER WORKS Drive respectively.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":384593,"menu_order":4,"template":"","yoast_head":"\nSync or unsync folders - NAVER WORKS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/help.worksmobile.com\/en\/use-guides\/drive\/explorer\/windows\/sync\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Sync or unsync folders - NAVER WORKS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Windows Drive Explorer offers 2 sync methods: virtual drive mode and 1:1 folder sync mode. 1:1 folder sync is a feature that allows you to link 1 folder from NAVER WORKS Drive with 1 folder on your PC.
