So, Winston didn't get back to me, but I thought I'd try things again, especially after VDR got a minor update to version 4. I updated to the latest version of VDR on my 4S and 6S, turned on Cloud sync, and let things sit for a while. I can report that things came over beautifully! Well, except for my folders. Speaking of folders, has anyone else noticed the move to folder option in the actions part of the rotor? Really slick!
Can someone explain to me how you can see only the files that haven't been moved into folders? A little confused on that. Also, when I create a folder, how can I get to them? Does a folders button appear on the app's main screen like before? Thanks, Ari On 4/2/16, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: > I now have most of the library back on the 4S.
