Downloading and storing files can eat up quite a bit of your hard drive. Use these tools to help reduce disk usage for especially large workspaces or files.

Go to Settings → App Settings → Cloud Workspaces to manage disk usage across all of your mapped workspaces.

Depending on how much data you are storing, this page may take some time to load.

​
Store Cloud

The Store Cloud option (default is unchecked) will store a copy of every downloaded file in the workspace’s version store (/.mudstack). Leave this unchecked unless you want to have local copies.

​
Keep Local

Keep local (default is checked) will store a copy of every file you have pushed to a workspace in the workspace’s version store (/.mudstack). Unchecking this will give you back space whenever you push new files and versions to your cloud workspace

​
Cleanup Workspace

The Cleanup Workspace action will clean your current version store of any files that do not match the settings you have defined for that workspace.

You wil see this button in the Actions column for each mapped cloud workspace.

In the event you have a lot of excess disk usage before version 1.3.6, this action may provide you with more space.

​
Local Version Limits

You can configure how many local versions Mudstack should keep for each parent cloud version. Once you exceed the limit, the oldest version is deleted so you can reclaim disk space.

This option is accessible in Settings → Local Versions. If left at 0, Mudstack will keep an unlimited number of local versions, which can cause disk space issues. You should adjust this based on your workflow and preferences.

​
Disable Syncing on a file or folder

Click the Disable Syncing icon in the top right of a synced file/folder or Right click → Disable Syncing

To see more about managing sync, please read how to disable auto syncing.

​
Cleanup old local versions

Go to saving space with versions to remove old local versions and prevent accrual of old versions for future changes.
