Pause and resume sync

Pause Drime Desktop sync for 30 minutes, an hour, until tomorrow or until you resume it, for example on a slow or metered connection.

Updated Windows

  1. Click the Drime icon in the notification area to open the Drime window.

  2. Open the pause menu.

    At the top of the window, click the sync status line, for example Your files are synced. While files are syncing, you can also click Pause at the bottom of the window.

  3. In Pause sync, choose how long: 30 minutes, 1 hour, Until tomorrow or Indefinitely.

The Drime window then shows Syncing paused until … or Syncing paused indefinitely. Nothing is sent or received until sync resumes.

To restart sync earlier, click Resume, or Resume sync in the same menu.

While sync is paused, the Drime icon in the notification area reads Drime · Paused when you point to it.

#Pause a backup

Backups pause on their own, separately from sync: in the menu of a backup, choose Pause backup, then Resume backup to restart it. See Back up folders from your computer.

#If sync pauses on its own

What to do

You are offline. Syncing resumes as soon as the network is back.

Check your internet connection: sync restarts on its own.

Paused after repeated errors, will retry automatically

Drime Desktop retries on its own. If it keeps failing, see Fix desktop sync errors.
