Insufficient Disk Space
What's causing this?
You do not have enough disk space for the application to operate.
How to resolve it
- Free up disk space on the hard drive where your user profile information is stored (in most cases, this will be your primary hard drive).
- Select the Manage Offline Folders option from the App settings page and remove some folders from syncing for offline access. The items will still be accessible while you have an internet connection.
Unable to Connect, Contact your Administrator
What's causing this?
This typically occurs due to errors in the certificate used to encrypt and decrypt any requests sent to the cloud. For security reasons, the Desktop App will only connect to hosts which make use of certificates that are trusted on the machine.
How to resolve it
- Contact your IT administrator to see if the network setup is making use of a certificate that is not trusted on your machine. This can happen if there is a proxy that is using an untrusted certificate to encrypt and decrypt traffic between the Desktop App and the cloud.
Sync Less Folders for Better Performance
What's causing this?
You are syncing more than the maximum supported 500,000 files at once to your machine.
How to resolve it
- Select the Manage Offline Folders option from the App settings page and remove folders from syncing for offline access until you no longer see this message. The folders will still be accessible while you have an internet connection.
X File(s) Skipped
What's causing this?
Some files have not been uploaded or downloaded.
How to resolve it

Unable to Access Other Domains Through the Desktop App
What's causing this?
If you have MEM (Multiple Entity Management), but you have not mapped each domain to a separate drive you will not be able to access the files.
How to resolve it
- Click the Desktop App icon from the icon tray, select the Drives tab, and click Add Drive. You will need to enter the domain login credentials and click Add drive. Select the domain(s) from the list and choose Continue. Follow the prompts. Each domain should be added as a separate drive to your Windows file explorer or the Mac Finder.
