The iFolder client has a feature called the Conflict Bin. A user will rarely need
to access this option, however, it is useful for you to undestand how this
feature works. The following scenario illustrates how the conlict bin works.
Suppose that John is one of your iFolder users. John has installed the iFolder
client installed two computers: computer A and computer B. At some point in
the day, John disconnects both of these computers from the network and
ontinues to work. While he is working, he makes a change to one of his iFolder
files on computer A. He then reconnects computer A to the network in order
to synch the changes up to the iFolder server.
As John continues to work, he decides to make another change to that same
file, but this time, he uses computer B. Then, John reconnects computer B to
the network to synchronize the new change.
When computer B reconnects to the network and synchs up the change to the
iFolder server, the change that John made on computer A would be over
written with the change that John made to that same file from computer B. In
this case, the change that he made to his iFolder files from computer A would
be lost. To prevent data lose, iFolder saves the overwritten file to the Conflict
Bin. John can access the Conflict Bin by double-clicking the iFolder icon
located in the system tray.
In order to access the iFolder user account information, you must log in to the
Server Management Console with your administrative username and
password.
The Server Management Console lets you manage your users' iFolder
accounts. From this site, you perform administrative tasks and manage the
activity between the server and the iFolder clients. Access the Server
Management Console by opening a browser and entering https://
ifolderserverip/iFolderServer/Admin.
