Overview
The misconfigured folder alert can be viewed only on the inSync Management Console. On inSync Client, the misconfigured folder icon is displayed in gray. The alert is generated when inSync fails to find the folder configured for backup at its specified location on the user's device.
A folder can be configured for backup either by the inSync Administrator through the backup profile or by the inSync Client user from the client interface. If a folder configured for backup is deleted or moved from outside the inSync Client, it is displayed in gray on the inSync Client to indicate a missing folder.
