Synchronisation/Deletion

Hi there,

I hope someone can help or just confirm that what I'm experiencing is the norm with my new HDD.

I have set my drive to sync with the one touch and it sync's everything on my desktop (and other specified folders) which works great. However, let’s say I decide that I no longer require certain files so I delete them from my desktop. Every time I sync it tries to copy the deleted files back from the OneTouch to my local HDD.

Now I understand that you can set it to prompt which is what I have done, but I don't want to have to specifically turn off every file I've deleted when it prompts - over time the number of files is just too much to keep track of.

I also understand that I can delete the files from the external drive as I remove them from the local HDD, but If I'm deleting multiple files from different folders located in various paths, doesn't this defeat the purpose of having a nice simple one touch system If I have to manually delete each file twice?

Can this drive/software recognise that I would like to delete a file and therefore automatically remove it from the external sync?

ANY help would be greatly appreciated as I'm at a bit of a loss.

Re: Synchronisation/Deletion

One reason I hate sync programs is they all work different.  Have you tried to delete the file from the drive first to see if it autodeletes from the computer or if it just syncs back to the drive?
