Data Transfers · Setting up a transfer

\n

Can I include several folders in one transfer?

\n

Short answer: Each transfer has one source and one destination. Pick a parent folder that contains them all, or create one transfer per folder — two run at once and the rest queue automatically.

\n

Each transfer has one source and one destination. To send several folders, either:

\n
  • choose a parent folder that contains them all as the source, or
  • create one transfer per folder — two run at once and the rest queue up automatically.
\n

Separate transfers also make it easier to see which folder had a problem, and to give each its own schedule.
