Hi,

my old MacBook had a really small drive so back when I used boxsync I manually selected "not sync" on a lot of folders, one at a time as they were ready to archive.

I changed MacBook and would like to see all files and folders on the box app.

Is there a way to globally set all folders to sync or do I have to look up and modify everything by hand?

Thank for the support

Hi Tiberio,

Welcome to the Box Community! I'm happy to help.

Since you have a new device please install Box Sync first. Click on this link from our Box Product Support page.

Once you have Box Sync installed please choose the folders you need to sync.

Hi, thank you for your answer.

I have box drive installed on the new Mac, I was wondering if there was a "one click" way to ask for everything to be set to sync. As opposed to manually flag every folder and subfolder that I set to unsync back to sync. And if I have to do manually if there's a way to see if there are unsynced folders to make sure I haven't left anything behind.
