Applies to WD Sync 1.1.5731
From a few simple tests it seems that WD Sync does not handle well the “move” of a file or a directory from one location to another within the sync’d files structure.
Instead of carying out a corresponding move on the storage device it…
(a) in the case of a file: uploads the file again to the new location and deletes the file in the original location
(b) in the case of a directory: uploads the entire directory again to the new location and deletes the directory in the original location.
This can be an enormous waste of time and data transfer.
This should be corrected if WD Sync is to be a usable cloud storage solution.
