Good morning. After installing WSA Complete I make what must have been a huge mistake. I decided to utilize the 25 GB of backup storage to save my music files. Rather than dragging and dropping the folder with the music files in them as instructed, I right clicked and MOVED the iTunes folder instead.
It took a day and a half to move the 13+ GBs of folders and brought our network to a snails pace. My questions now are;
1. How do I get just the folder with the music in it back onto my laptop?
2. Is there a faster way to do the transfer?
3. I do not want the folders in the cloud to sync so how do I stop that from happening?
Thanks, Bill

Hello there BIll9406, welcome to the Community!
1) I am sure there are quite a number of ways of doing this, just as there usually are with any file movement activity. How I do it is:
2) You may want to contact Webroot Support regarding this. While I am sure that transer of data to the backup is not the fastest data transfer in the world, it does seem that to be excessive. I DO know that there is a strong encryption takikng place during storage, and that will slow things down a bit.
3) Turning off sync is simple. Open WSA. Click the 'gear tool' next to Backup&Sync, click the slider next to Sync so that it moves to the righ, and shows red.
I hope all of this helps!

- Open Windows Explorer
- "Snap" that Windows Explorer window to the left side of the screen
- Locate the 'Cloud Drive' among your data drives. Double click it to enter it, and navigate to the folder with the music
- Open a second Windows Explorer
- "Snap" this Windows Explorer window to the right side of the screen, allowing you to see BOTH WIndows Explorer screens at one time
- Navigate in the right window to the location you want to put the recovered files
- On the left side, select all
- On the right side, Move or Copy all

Whew! I DO use Backup&Sync, but mainly just for the automatic buid in AnyWhere folder it creates. I had to do a little bit of reading up and refreshing my memory in order to make my reply to you. I am glad it is helping!
