Options related to files and directories:

Similar to bucket, DragonDisk supports a lot of options for handling files and directories. For example, you can use common keyboard shortcuts such as: press Del to delete or press F2 to rename the file / folder name.

Besides, users can also cut, copy, paste files and folders from the computer to DragonDisk or vice versa. To perform the above operations, DragonDisk allows to use right-click menu, shortcut keys, corresponding buttons on the toolbar or, more simply, drag and drop method.

Step 1 : Access the menu Synchronization => Manage Sync Jobs .

Step 2 : In the dialog box that appears, click the Add button to perform a new sync operation.

Step 3 : A new folder will appear, choose a name to distinguish sync operations, access the source and destination folders.

Step 5 : Once added, a new heading will display in the Synchronization list. This synchronization will not automatically take place, instead, users must activate it manually every time they want to use.

Note: By default, the destination folder will be identical to the source directory, so any difference factors will be deleted without warning.
