Strange behavior with cloud storage provider

[weinberz]

Hello,

Loving Cling so far - solves a huge gap in my workflow!

I rely on Box, a cloud storage provider, for a lot of storage. Much like Google Drive or other cloud providers on MacOS, Box provides a directory listing of its contents at ~/Library/CloudStorage/Box-Box, with individual directories and files downloaded upon access. However, this seems to really stymie Cling. During indexing, Cling causes Box to throw countless errors ("Unable to open folder").

Is this something that is fixable or is this innate to how cling and cloud storage on MacOS works?

Thanks!

Hi!

Glad you like Cling!

Not sure if Box can be seen as a separate volume. If it does appear that way in Cling settings under Volumes, it would be a good idea to disable that volume.

Otherwise, you can add the Box folder path to the ignore file, also editable from Cling settings.

Cling queries the files and folders for various metadata and I guess some cloud-only files throw that error in Box when accessed through normal file APIs.
