Sync unexpected behaviour

[Nick Holloway]

Hi,

Using Groove 2007 with:

* MS Server 2003 machine - always on/always connected to the Internet
* Lapotp 1 (XP SP2) - roaming user, often connected to the Internet
* Laptop 2 (XP SP2) - roaming user, often connected to the Internet
* Workstation (also MS Server 2003) - only rarely on (used for backup).

Largish file sharing workspace (750 MB / 3000 files) - all machines Groove
2007 set for FULL AUTOMATIC DOWNLOAD.

File Sharing Workspace has all synced OK - then noticed in the past few days
that if Laptop 1 creates new file/directory that it syncs OK to "always on"
MS SERVER 2003 machine... but if the other machines (Laptop 2 and
Workstation) sync later on then it does update the directories... *but*
only with the *.gfs files, rather than automatically downloading the full
file.

I note that if I then double-click on any of the *.gfs files the files will
then download manually!

However, since all machines are set to FULL AUTOMATIC DOWNLOAD I would
expect them to automatically download the full file for any changes made or
new files added.

Any help to resolve this very much appreciated.

Cheers,

Nick

I have the exact same issue.

My setup is one Laptop running XP SP2 and one machine running Vista booth
with Groove 2007 RTM. Cannot remember how large my folder is, but it was
large enough to give me a warning "two many files/directories or to many megs"

Have you found out anything new?

sorry to say I haven't any further clues at this stage... will let you know
if I manage to resolve/explain. Cheers, Nick
