Setting Your iFolder Preferences

To set preferences for your Novell® iFolder® account:

  1. Log in to your iFolder account.

  2. Right-click the iFolder icon in your system tray.

  3. Click Account Information > Preferences.

Use this page to set your preferences for synchronization, encryption passphrase, and login password.

Setting Synchronization Preferences

You can turn auto-synchronization on and off by checking and unchecking the Automatic Sync check box.

If you adjust either of these values, click Apply for your changes to take effect.

Setting Password and Passphrase Login Preferences

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:

  1. Log in to iFolder.

  2. Right-click the iFolder icon in the system tray, then click Account Information > Preferences.

  3. Check or uncheck the Remember Password check box.

To modify your Remember Passphrase preference:

  1. Log in to iFolder.

  2. Right-click the iFolder icon in the system tray, then click Account Information > Preferences.

  3. Check or uncheck the Remember Passphrase check box.
