Delta Drive, Delta Trust & My Drive · Linked folders and copies

\n

How do I see how many copies of my data exist and where?

\n

Short answer: The Copies screen in Delta Drive shows your main copy's size and lock days, whether a second copy is on, and every Mac folder kept in the drive with its status and a Copy now button.

\n

Open Copies in the Delta Drive sidebar. Across the top: how big your main copy is and how many days it's locked for, whether a second copy is on, and how many folders from this Mac are kept in Delta Drive.

\n

Below that is every one of those folders — the built-in ones and every Link Folder — with what's true right now: copying, up to date (and when), on but never copied, off, or the Mac folder is missing. Each has Copy now, Show on this Mac, Open in Delta Drive, How it's kept and Stop keeping this folder….

\n

It ends with the point people get wrong: a folder kept in Delta Drive can be deleted like anything else; Delta Trust is the one nothing on your Mac can touch.
