We will improve this behaviour in future updates.Ģ. It is likely that MEGAsync starts running before your computer recognizes the external device/network drive.Īs your local storage is not available yet, as a security measure (to avoid data loss), MEGAsync deactivates that synchronization, which is why you see the sync box unchecked in the Syncs tab.Īt the moment the only thing you can do about it, is to manually check the sync box in order to re-activate the sync. If you are syncing from a network drive or an external device: The fact that the sync check automatically unchecks could be due to different reasons.

multiple syncs to separate sub-folders rather than just one master folder. The lower the folder level, each sync starts at, the easier it is to track down the issue. I would investigate which folders are involved, to work out the why. Locked files, open and unsaved in an app or on a different computer, will also make synced files unreadable. It continually scans each synced folder and the second it can't read one side, the sync is ended and must be manually restarted. While it might at first appear to be acting on its own I've not seen MEGAsync untick a folder without a traceable reason. Moving/renaming a cloud folder will also end a folder sync.

If the hard drive is disconnected or assigned a new drive letter, MEGAsync will untick that folder and it will remain unticked until the sync is manually corrected.

It commonly occurs when syncing to an external hard drive. MEGAsync will untick (stop syncing) any folder it either can't find or read.

I'd first check which folders stop syncing.
