Suspending file sync

To suspend file sync temporarily, turn off syncing for a sync folder.

About this task

You may want to turn off file syncing temporarily, for example, if you are making a lot of changes to files and want to sync when the changes are complete. To stop sync, you must remove the account.

• To suspend sync activities temporarily, click the IBM Connections icon in the menu bar or right-click the icon in the Dock and choose Display-name sync > Suspend sync. You can resume sync later by choosing Display-name sync > Resume sync.
• To turn off syncing from the server, click on the IBM Connections icon in the menu bar or right-click the icon in the Dock and select Preferences from the menu. Select the account in the Accounts sidebar that you want to stop syncing and click the minus icon. Click Remove this Account from the dialog box. Removing an account does not delete any content. The contents of the associated sync folder are copied to a new folder and the server and all sub-folders are removed from your IBM Connections folder.
