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

Why won't Delta Drive let me link a folder?

Short answer: A link is refused when its name is already used in your drive, you picked a file, the folder is already inside Delta Drive, or it's already linked under another name. Fix that and try again.

Storage Studio refuses a link that would go wrong before making it. The usual reasons:

  • The name is already used in your drive — pick another.
  • You chose a file, not a folder.
  • The folder is already inside Delta Drive, which would copy itself into itself for ever.
  • You've already linked that folder under another name.

Fix whichever applies and try Link a folder… again. See how linking works.
