Announcing Folder Linking Alpha

Hi Guys,
We’ve been hard at work on our new Folder Linking feature (previously known as Folder Watching) and are pleased to announce that we have an alpha build available for testing. The Folder Linking feature will let you choose any folder on your hard drive to be linked to ZumoDrive. Once it’s linked, all of the files in that folder will be synchronized to the cloud and available from all your other devices.


We have tested the build internally, and now we would like to get feedback from you guys. We will be giving out a limited number of free 25GB accounts, good for 3 months, to those who would like to try it out and give us their feedback.


Please email us at support@zumodrive.com if you would like to sign up and we will respond to you with a download link. Please remember that this is an alpha build. While we have tested it internally, there are still bound to be bugs we haven’t caught.
Thanks!

Hi
Just wanted to give you some feedback on this. Installed this morning and have the following issues:
1. zumodrive.exe shuts down after anything between a few seconds and a couple of minutes. Doesn’t look like a crash as the icon is cleanly removed from the system tray.
2. Double clicking on the icon to open the drive no longer works
3. hovering over the icon to get space used information no longer works
4. right mouse click to get the menu no longer works
Obviously the first item makes it unusable for me at present – are there any logs etc that I can provide to help you debug?
I did get a brief opportunity to check out the linked folder functionality and while it worked I’m not keen on how it works. I see that a Linked Folders directory gets added to the root of my drive and then a folder with the machine name below that. Unfortunately that is already two double clicks too many to get to the shared folder. I would much prefer to be able to move the folder to where I want it – however, this might be possible but I wasn’t able to test in the short time that the thing was running.
Look forward to getting the next build to do a more thorough test.
Thanks

Thanks for the feedback Neil. Looks like something is definitely going awry. If you can send us your logs to support@zumodrive.com we can take a look and try to get it fixed up. You can find your logs at:

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\ZumoDrive\zumodrive0.log.

Thanks.

Hi Kevin
Had a look at the log file but I think it must be for the old version as I have uninstalled the alpha and reinstalled the latest available build from the website. The log file says “Starting ZumoDrive version: 0.96”. Can you confirm if this is the right version. If not I will reinstall the alpha and grab the correct log.
Thanks
Neil

Hi!
Just downloaded and installed the Mac version of the folder linking alpha. Unfortunately, it crashes on load for me, even when I uninstalled/reinstalled/rebooted. I’m on OS X 10.5.8.
Here’s the relevant portion of the console messages and of zumodrive0.log. Let me know if I can be of further help.

Neil, uninstalling ZumoDrive would delete your old logs. If you get a chance, please reinstall it, let the crash occur, and then send us your logs and we will investigate.

Michelle, I think I can see what your issue is, I will provide you with a new build once we’ve fixed the problem.

Hi Kevin,
Sounds fine. I should be free to test this evening.
Cheers!
Michelle

Ok I updated the link to the build. Please download from the same link you were given in email and try it out. Thanks!

Kevin
have sent the full log to the support address but the key bit is here:
2009-08-09 12:21:16+0100 [SEVERE] ITunesXmlReader – Error processing iTunes Xml
Stacktrace: java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Documents and Settings\Neil\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.xml (The system cannot find the file specified)
It is quite correct the file doesn’t exist there but not sure why it is looking for it anyway.
Neil

Hi Kevin,
I am getting the same iTunesXmlReader error on the Mac. I’l send the log file via email.
Michelle

A quick update on the iTunesXmlReader issue—
On my computer, there is no file called “iTunes Library.xml” in $HOME/Music/iTunes. This is because I keep my entire library, including the database and associated xml file, on Zumo and share the xml file between computers (ie my iTunes library and files are in a non-standard place). Anyway, I decided to try copy the xml file to the place where the startup program expects to find it ($HOME/Music/iTunes). When I did this, I was able to start Zumo without a problem. I’m guessing that the folder linking build just needs some error catching to test if the file exists. I currently have my iPhoto library in the default location (so it didn’t cause an error), but I’d bet error catching needs to be implemented for this file as well. I bet Neil has his library moved somewhere else and that copying the xml file to this folder would fix his woes as well.

Hi
Tried the same trick as Michelle but that just caused a different issue:

Michelle, were you able to try the new build? Did it also fail in the same way? It should have the appropriate checks for the iTunes XML file.

Neil, I will look into your issue further today and get back to you once I know what’s going on.

I reinstalled the build as of this morning. I used the download link in the email sent to me, so assuming this is the correct one, it did fail in the same way.

Ok Michelle, I will take another look. Thanks for working with us on this.

Neil, would you mind sending your iTunes XML file to support@zumodrive.com?

Also Michelle and you try installing from the link one more time?

Kevin
It is 21mb – can I send it to you via yousendit?
Neil

That’s fine Neil.

I tried reinstalling from the link with the xml folder removed from ~/Music/iTunes and it didn’t crash. I assume this means it’s fixed?

Thanks Michelle, good to know.

Neil, I’ve figured out your issue as well. There is a bug with XML parsing in the version of Java we distribute with ZumoDrive. If you upgrade to the latest version it should be fixed up. You can find it here: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

Been using the alpha version for a few days and although I haven’t extensively used ZumoDrive I haven’t altogether neglected it either. No problems at all so far (weird, I know!). I have about 3 linked folders that seem to do exactly what they’re meant to do and do it well. If I have any problems I’ll make sure to let you guys know.
Question however: From what I understand the linked folder feature is really just a one way sync – anything that happens on the folder being watched will get reflected to ZumoDrive but not the other way around. If I wanted to modify documents in a linked folder from another computer what would be the best way of doing so? Or am I misunderstanding the functionality altogether?

Yosmel, it is a two way sync. If you make changes to the files from another computer, they will be reflected in your original folder.

Even better! Thanks for the clarification.

Kevin
Installed the latest version and confirm that it now works, although it took ages from finishing the install to loading up the “first start” screens. Anyway, I will have a play for a few days and then come back with any comments.
Thanks
Neil

Hi
Had a couple of days now to play with the linked folders and it works well. I have a few comments/suggestions/thoughts as follows:
- my previous comment about wanting to be able to move folders out of the “Linked Folders” directory stands. The fact that you need to go down three levels before you get to the folder you have linked is a bit of a pain too.
- when you try and do thinks to files/folders in a linked folder on the host machine you get a message telling you can’t, which is fine, but the messages are truncated. See here for some screen grabs: http://www.zumodrive.com/share/CBlM2M3MT
- my final point is to do with the very heavy bias in the latest install in getting you to upload your media to ZumoDrive. As a business user of ZumoDrive I have little interest in this and wanted to know what, if any, plans there are for more business features? Happy to send my thoughts on this separately if you are interested.
Thanks
Neil
