BT Cloud Downloading files

Tomg35 — Sat, 09 Sep 2023 10:26:08 GMT

I've setup the cloud to back up a few folders, I've done the settings so that if I add an item to a watched folder, it's uploaded. I don't want it to be that if I delete a file on my desktop, it deletes in the cloud or anything like that.

When I log onto my machine (Win11 device) I get messages that files are being downloaded from the cloud (which I don't want). Why is it doing this and how do I change the behaviour?

Thanks

Assuming that your settings are as below, then deleting anything from the PC won't cause the corresponding backup file / directory to be deleted.

Files being downloaded suggests that you have something set under Sync.

That's the problem, I have four folders being watched and each is upload only.

Yesterday it was downloading for over an hour
