How do I disconnect a computer from a folder, i.e. stop synchronising to it? There seems to be a Folder+ button but no Folder- button, or any other way of deleting or disconnecting.

It might help if you could explain: is there a difference between the first computer in a group to connect a folder (i.e. to enter the details of an existing folder into PowerFolders so other computers in the group can find it and synchronise to it) and other computers that subsequently connect to this folder? I.e. is the first computer the "owner" or "publisher" of the original folder, and other computers are "subscribers" to it? Or once several computers have connected to this folder, do all have exactly the same role, i.e. the system doesn't know or care whose files they were first?

Thanks - Rowan

Dear rowan.bradley

3 most used ways to stop a folder from syncing:
1. rightclick on the folder select remove
2. click the settings icon on the folder press the remove link
3. click on the members link on the folder and restrict the rights

the creator of a folder is the owner, but can hand over this right to others but there can be only one owner the other computers can have various rights levels.

The transfers do not consider which files were first.
