otosnede Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 When I'm copying a large amount of files via the Windows Explorer into a Sync folder, every new file that hits the folder will trigger a "File is locked by another application" Windows notification because the file is still being copied... is there an option to suppress those messages? As in... just those messages so other important messages from Sync will still show notifications? They get quite obnoxious when it flies out for every file and I'm copying sometimes hundreds.

Gane O'dwyer Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 @otosnede Can you send a screenshot how it looks like in your setup? But when you open that notification you should observe a new window where you can ignoring them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Maier Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 You can add the file extension to the delay config file: https://help.resilio.com/hc/en-us/articles/207491426-Setting-Delay-Time-For-Syncing That way the file doesn't get synced immediately but maybe after 60 seconds, enough time for larger pictures or movies.

apt531 Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 this has been a huge annoyance for me. moving, copying, or deleting folders within directories managed by Sync results in dozens of these "File is locked by another application" Windows notifications. Can changing the "folder_rescan_interval" setting (default at "integer" | "600") under "Power user preferences" help with this? The solution offered above is not practical given the number of different file extensions that would need to be covered for my use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
