If it evokes a reaction somewhere between cringing and earnest laughter, and you simultaneously want to tell the person sharing the joke to tell you more and also shut up because they’re embarrassing you in front of your friends, congratulations, you’re in the presence of a Dad joke.Īre Dad jokes good for you? Inarguably. To paraphrase US Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart when expounding on how to identify pornography in 1964, you’ll know it when you see it. If you’ve ever had a father (or currently are one), you don’t need me to explain a Dad Joke. For most of his life (or at least as long as I knew him), he was a huge advocate and gleeful teller of Dad Jokes. But more importantly, we knew it would’ve made our dad laugh. “He died as he lived,” we’d say, nodding meaningfully. So we started telling people that he'd been killed by a colon parasite. We didn't want to be cheered up with idiotic aphorisms that put a positive spin on his medical condition. He died of an enlarged heart, and when the news spread in our neighborhood, well-meaning friends and acquaintances would walk up to my brother and me and tell us, “Your dad died as he lived, with a big heart.” It never failed to annoy us. Let me know if this worked for you or if you managed to find a way to avoid downloading all the files again.This is a story about one of my favorite dad jokes. Once all files are downloaded the new location will be used as it was on your main drive (C). I had tried to copy the old directory to the new location before I started Box Sync but I still downloaded all the files again. At this step, it will use the new location, and it will download all your file from the cloud. This step is important otherwise Box won’t be able to read the DB. Update with the path where you want your files to be downloaded.Ĭlose the SQLite database by existing from the editing software. If you open the database, you will see a table called preferences and the value to be changed sync_directory_path as you can see from the image below. You can use any SQLite editor my choice was sqliteexpert. On Windows the file is located here:Ĭ:\Users\ \AppData\Local\Box Sync\sync.db If you are using your main drive to sync your files you can follow this documentation to change the location of your box sync folder:Īnother option to make Box Sync sync your files from an external file is to modify the location directly in the Box Sync app config file.Įdit the Box Sync database. There is no option for this in the interface. Now when I reattached the F drive, I couldn’t make Box sync again to the drive F instead of my C drive. I guess by now you got the connection ? Box Sync decided that since my F (external) drive disappeared it will create a new sync location on my C drive and started to download all data again. I was annoyed since I just checked my email and did not know where this traffic was coming from. To my greatest surprise after a couple of hours, I got an SMS that I have already used 100% of my data allowance in 2GB of data was downloaded in that hour or so. On top of that since my Internet connection wasn’t installed yet I used my phone to tether data from my plan. I have installed Box Sync folder on an external drive, and while I was moving home, I forgot to attach the external drive. This article provides details on how you can customize the Box Sync folder location with Box Sync 4.0.
