Windows : choose an existing local folder to synchronize with the cloud (Expert mode)

By default, when the Leviia application performs a synchronization, it creates a Leviia directory at the root of the user directory. (C:\Users\your_usernameLeviia).

You can also do the opposite: select a local folder containing your data and synchronize it on the cloud.

To do this, right-click on the Leviia icon in the bottom right-hand corner of the taskbar and click on Settings.

Click on General in the top right-hand corner of the window :

Check "Advanced Folder Sync" and "Expert Folder Sync" :

A warning message appears, simply click on OK :

Then click on the icon with your name at top left and click on Add Folder Sync Connection :

You now have the option of entering the folder path directly or clicking on Choose... :

Once you've made your selection, click on Select folder :

Create an empty folder with the desired name on your Leviia cloud space by clicking on Create a folder, then select it :

Click on Next, a window opens with an option to Use virtual files instead of downloading content immediately :

If the option is checked, you'll be able to free up local disk space and use synchronization statuses, otherwise all your data will be stored both locally and in the cloud.

For a better understanding of synchronization statuses, here's some documentation : lien

Once you've made your choice, click on Add Sync Connection :

Synchronization is launched.
