HOW TO CREATE SUB-FOLDER & CONFIGURE TO GROUP FOLDER LOCATED ON DCP VIA SYNC CLIENT

1. Create a folder on your local desktop to be the sub-folder on Group Folder on DCP. In our example, the folder created is named as “Andreano”.

2. Call-up the synchronization client and click on “Setting”.

3. Click “Add Folder Synch Connection” .

4. When you see the below box pop-up, click “Choose”.

5. You’ll see your local computer directory. Select the sub-folder you’ve created, e.g. “Andreano” & click “Select Folder”.

6. As seen below, the folder “Andreano” created to be sub-folder for a Group Folder has been selected then click “Next”.

7. You'll be brought to the directory path or Folders & Group Folders on your DCP.

8. Select the desired Folder or Group Folder. Here we choose “Test Collaboration Group Folder” and click “Create Folder” button at the right.

9. A box pop-up. Type the name of the sub-folder “Andreano” and click “OK”.

10. As seen below, sub-folder “Andreano” created under “Test Collaboration Group Folder”. Click “Next”.

11. Another dialogue box pop-up, click “Add Sync Connection”.

12. Once the sub-folder has been synced up to DCP, you’ll see as follows and also notice the folder icon for “Andreano” sub-folder on the local desktop has changed to the sync client logo with green tick, meaning it is connected & synching.

13. Log in to your DCP web browser and you will see, sub-folder “Andreano” has been added to Group Folder “Test Collaboration Group”.

14. By creating / adding sub-folder to Group Folder on DCP would prevent any files / data placed in “Andreano” local sub-folder on Andreano’s desktop to be synced to others’ local desktop. In this example, the file placed by Andreano inside his local folder “Andreano” is only sync up to sub-folder “Andreano” under “Test Collaboration Group” and not being synced down to Atikah & Janette. Hence, avoid cluttering and taking up the disk space on Atikah’s & Janette’s desktops

15. If you want whatever files / data placed by any members in their local synch folders linked to Test Collaboration Group Folder on DCP and to sync down to all other members simultaneously, then sub-folder should not be created and configured with the synchronization client.

The End.
