"Not enough free space" using network folder/networkadress

Posts: 7 · fishrain 9 May 2020, 08:21

Hello,

I'm using FFS for a long time without problems. I syncing a folder on my win 10 PC with a folder in my webspace (1und1 Onlinespeicher). The Cloud Storage folder is embedded in win10 either as network folder (webdav) or as a ntwork adress (I tried both methods).

Obviously Win10 is reporting to FFS wrong "disk sizes" because I get a warning:

Not enough free space for:
\\sd2dav.1und1.de@SSL\DavWWWRoot\Backup
Nescessairy: 161 GB
Available: 49,2 GB

However I do have indeed 1 TB space available on my webspace.

Because of this warning the sync fails....

Any suggestions? Thank you for help in advance

Rainer

I found a way to establish the network folder, now showing the right storage capacities.

However the sync job failed again after transfering 46 GB of data to the webspace (same error: not enough disk space). After the failed sync job the partition C was almost full....obviously the 46 GB filled up my partition C....

Does FFS copy the files in a temp-folder on Part C before uploading...??? Where is this folder ? I would like to delete these files. This is really strange....

Run 'SpaceSniffer" as admin, it will scan and show your storage usage on the drive

Thank you....I already found it: to establish the network-folder I had to install a software (called "1&1 UploadManager")....after installing this I had a network-folder in the windows explorer (with correct storage capacities). As I already suposed the data was transferred to a Cache-Folder on Partition C....so the problem has nothing to do with FFS itself...its related to this upload manager ...i will uninstall it

I solved the problem myself: Obviously in win10 network-share (webdav) generally are not showing the correct storage capacities....instead the free space on Part C is displayed. So when FFS begins a sync-job to this network-folder, before it begins there will be a warning ("Not enough space...")....however if you click "ignore" the job will be done correctly. In the sync settings the checkbox "ignore errors" must be activated !
