Hi Flintstone

smart sync: you can define objects (files or folders) to be local or only online → "only online" means you only have a placeholder with almost 0 byte on your machine

Vielen Dank für die Antwort! Zwei Fehler von meiner Seite: ich hatte nicht gechecked, dass das Forum tatsächlich Deutsch ist - irgendein Text bei der Anmeldung beim Forum war Englisch, das hatte mich dann auf English getriggert!
Zweiter Fehler: Missachtung des Grundsatzes: Handbuch lesen hilft......
Vielen Dank dafür, dass Sie mich auf den richtigen Weg in mehrfacher Hinsicht geleitet haben. Jetzt funktioniert alles - getreu dem Grundsatz: kaum macht man es richtig, schon gehts....
