Svija is based on the fact that there is a folder on your computer that matches exactly the folder that serves your website.
YOUR COMPUTER ‹—› YOUR WEBSITE
In order to make this clear to our users, we have named the two folders SYNC:
on your computer SYNC ‹—› SYNC on your website server
In order for this to function, the SYNC folder on your computer needs to actually have the files for your website.
Adobe Cloud Storage, Apple iCloud & Microsoft OneDrive
These services keep files in the cloud instead of on your computer.
This means that the SYNC folder on your computer can be incomplete. Some or all of the files are in the cloud and what you see in the folder are just references that contain no data.
Adobe Cloud Storage
Illustrator Files and images for your website must be in the SYNC folder, not in Cloud Storage.
Apple iCloud
Either:
- store your
SYNCfolder outside of your iCloud Drive - uncheck “Optimize Mac Storage” in the iCloud System Settings
Safe places to store your SYNC folder include:
-
Home DownloadsDesktop(if not in iCloud)Documents(if not in iCloud)
Microsoft OneDrive
Microsoft OneDrive includes a setting called Files On-Demand, that is enabled by default.
If you use OneDrive, you must either:
- put your
SYNCfolder outside of OneDrive - turn off Files On-Demand
You can tell if your SYNC folder is in OneDrive by looking at the address in WinSCP. If you see \Cloud or something similar in the address bar of WinSCP you will need to verify if your files are actually available.
