When a drive gets full during sync it comes up with the prompt window to ignore or cancel, but it would be more useful if it also had a button to open explorer to the folder in question so the user could quickly resolve the problem.
It can happen a lot if the drives are too close in size and the sync mirror vs update mechanism isn't perfectly dialed in.

This doesn't make sense as folders don't run out of space, drives do. At that point, opening a File Explorer is only a click away

Drives can be folder mounts, especially on windows where drive letters are so limited.
Going through deep folder trees to prune takes many clicks, which is the problem.

Sure, drives can be folder mounted, but that is <0.001% of cases. In seven years and thousands of computers I've worked on, the only drive I've seen mounted as a folder is in my own computer lolDrives can be folder mounts, especially on windows where drive letters are so limited. hc530, 23 Apr 2025, 08:17
Drive letters are, by definition, limited in Windows, but also another thing that I've never seen become an issue ever. Again, the best this feature could do is take you to the root folder of a drive. There is no way for FFS to take you to a certain folder that is out of space because that's not a situation that has ever or will ever exist. Folders don't run out of space. If you are running into space issues often enough to be this concerned, you need bigger storage locations
