Synch Now Feature Request

Icedrive Discussion
#1

I have asked for this feature for 1.5 years and it is still not available. There are times I want the synch pair process to start when I am ready. For example, right before bedtime I just finished uploading\altering several 100 folders. I would like for that process to start now so I can wrap up the work on my PC and shut it down for the night (do not leave my desktop on 24x7) after the synch is complete.

Ideally, I want an button on the same line as the synch pair so you can force a Synch Now for a specific single pair synch and another “Synch all Now” option at the top of the screen to force IceDrive to begin a synch of all synch pairs.

Has anyone found a way to force a Synch Now versus waiting, waiting, waiting for it to start???

If you think it is a good idea, please submit your suggestion if more users are asking for this feature.

Many thanks.

I would+1 for this feature. The only way I’ve found do it is to change the sync settings to 5 minutes, quit the app, re start it and sign in again and then it syncs almost straight away.

A real faf but it does work.

Hi,
I +1 also for this feature. Since Windows app release 3.11 there is no way at all to configure a sync interval, this is a real flaw. Therefore it would be very nice to have a “sync now” feature added. I +1 also to be able to schedule a sync during the night.
Furthermore in some third party application such as Adobe Bridge, a copy/paste (creating a copy of a file) is not taken into account and no sync occurs on the new _copy file. This bug must be fixed.
