Blockierte Dateien (EN)

Blocked Files

Blocked files are file types that are not synchronized by default, such as system files (e.g. .DS_Store, Thumbs.db) or temporary files. This feature prevents unnecessary synchronization and potential conflicts between devices. You can customize the list of blocked files to exclude specific file types or folders from synchronization to save bandwidth and storage space.
