To set preferences for your Novell® iFolder® account:
Log in to your iFolder account.
Right-click the iFolder icon in your system tray.
Click Account Information > Preferences.
Use this page to set your preferences for synchronization, encryption passphrase, and login password.
You can turn auto-synchronization on and off by checking and unchecking the Automatic Sync check box.
Synchronize to Server
Set the delay (in seconds) between making changes to your iFolder files
and the time that the iFolder client uploads them to the iFolder server.
Synchronize from Server
Set the interval of time (in seconds) that the iFolder client waits to check
with the iFolder server to see what changes need to be downloaded to your
workstation.
If you adjust either of these values, click Apply for your changes to take effect.
The iFolder client can remember your password and passphrase so that you do not need to enter them each time you log in to the iFolder server to activate synchronization of your iFolder files.
Although automatic login is convenient, it might not be a desirable option in an environment where passwords change frequently. iFolder authenticates your password against the LDAP directory and is not aware of password changes made at the network level. You must be logged in to iFolder to disable the Remember Password option. If you change your password while logged out of iFolder, you might inadvertently lock yourself out of the iFolder client.
In addition, iFolder synchronizes your files as soon as you log in to the
iFolder server and intermittently after that as long as you have an active
connection to the server and your Web browser is set to work online. There
might be occasions when you do not want iFolder to synchronize files automatically,
such as when you want to reserve limited bandwidth for other activities.
To modify your Save Password preference:

Check or uncheck the Remember Password check box.
To modify your Remember Passphrase preference:
Right-click the iFolder icon in the system tray, then click Account Information > Preferences.
