Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What about nested groupfolders?

Creating subfolders in a group folder that are group folders themselves (e. g. Docs/Engineering, Docs/Marketing) is supported, but the root group folder (e. g. Docs) will not be automatically created. This can be solved by also creating the root folder as a separate group folder.

How do desktop clients handle groupfolders?

In Client applications, group folders will appear as external storage and may need to be explicitly addressed for download.

Thanks so much for this issue. I was going to give the app a go but after seeing this, decided not to.
