Folders not syncing? #117

Open AvilanceStudios opened 8 years ago

AvilanceStudios commented 8 years ago

Every time I create a new folder in Atom, It does not sync with the web counterpart and my teammates are not able to see the folders until I place files in them which is very strange. In addition, whenever I upload a new file and delete it, my teammates don't see it at all unless I manually click "Add to floobits work space". Also, when I create and delete files in the web counterpart, it doesn't update my atom files! I have FsWatch enabled in the config and still nothing. Does it have to do with the directory I chose before joining floobits? I can't edit it because every time I try to I get the red circle with a slash through it meaning I can't make edits to the path. Please help, I am relying on this for my project!

The latest version of the plugin should allow you to add entire directories by right-clicking on the dir and selecting Floobits: Add to Workspace.

Automatically adding files is harder, since there is no cross-platform file-watching API. We try to use chokidar, but it requires native bindings that may or may not be built. To use chokidar, make sure the fs_watch option is enabled in Floobits settings. (It should be on by default, but it never hurts to check.)
