This guide helps you resolve issues with the status (OK, synchronizing, etc.) of files and folders in the kDrive file structure displayed in Windows Explorer, in cases where these indications no longer reflect the actual status.

Resolving Incorrect Status Issues

The problem is visible in the kDrive log as follows:

20240616_2008_kDrive.log:2024-06-16 20:19:01:349 [I] (6732) socketlistener.cpp:46 - Sending SocketAPI message --> STATUS:OK:D:\kDrive\Photos\Personnal\2024\06_June\0616_Bern\HP7A6181.JPG to 0000025197E46A60

The application sends the correct file status to the explorer; here, for example, the status sent is OK, and the status icon displayed should be the green circle, but the displayed status does not match:
