Moving a folder... What happens to my files?
I have a readynas 104 with 4*1TB in raid 5
Currently I have a folder /Data/ which through the readycloud app is synchronised to 2 laptops (MacBook Pro)
Inside /Data/ I have 2 folders so the folder structure is like so
/Data/Data - 1/
Data/Data - 2/
Inside eaxh of these folders are about 250GB of various files and folders. I'd like to combine the contents moving all the data from both folders into the parent folder /Data/
so instead of me having /Data/Data - 2/iTunes/
It will be /Data/iTunes/
Can anybody tell me, when I drag (move) the data on One of my MacBook air to the parent folder, will it move the data on the ReadyNAS and 2nd MacBook? Or will it delete and reupload this?
I've attached a photo of the parent folder and the 2 folders in question within
Thanks
Henry 🙂

Re: Moving a folder... What happens to my files?
Looking at your screenshot, your NAS is currently syncing. I'd wait for that to complete before moving any data.
You can certainly reorganize the subfolders as you wish. I'm not sure how this will affect the sync on your second MacBook (I don't use ReadyCloud myself, and am not a Mac owner).
