You can find the ELO MobileConnector in a separate group on the Repository ribbon tab. To select a folder in the ELO repository for synchronization, follow the steps below.

1. Select a folder in the repository.

2. Click the Add folder button on the Repository ribbon tab.

In the Add folder dialog box, you will see a list of assignments between repository folders and folders on the file system.

Repository folder

In the Repository folder area, you see the folders selected in the ELO repository.

Target in file system

In the Target in file system area, you will see what folder has been selected as the target in the file system. You can select existing paths from the drop-down menu of the Base directory field. Click New target to assign a new folder.

Information: The module automatically searches for cloud folders from the following providers: Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, GMX MediaCenter, WEB.DE Online-Speicher, and SpiderOak Hive. If this kind of folder is detected on the computer's file system, ELO automatically enters the detected path in Base directory.

Transmission options

In the Transmission options area, you can adjust the synchronization settings. The following settings are available:

Synchronize, with keywording: The folders selected above are synchronized. An additional file is stored on the file system for each synchronized entry (folder or document). This additional file contains the keywording information for the synchronized entry in JSON format.

Synchronize, without keywording: The folders selected above are synchronized. Only the documents and child folders are compared, without keywording information. If you add a file to the folder in the file system, the file name must start with a plus icon (+) so that it is transferred to ELO during synchronization. The plus icon in the file name is automatically removed during synchronization.

Save as copy, without keywording: The Save as copy option saves an identical copy of the repository folder to the Windows file system, but without metadata (GUID, keywording information).

Run automatically when ELO starts: If you select the option Run automatically when ELO starts, the base directory and repository folder are synchronized every time ELO starts.

Please note: If you need to synchronize a large number of folders, this will delay all other processes when starting ELO. For this reason, this function is not recommended for very large directories that do not change very often. In such cases, it makes more sense to create multiple folder pairs and only set up automated synchronization for selected ones.

Export references as well: Enable the Export references as well option to also export references to the folder for synchronization.
