 **File Sizes:**For certain providers we are unable to get the file size after the first cloud sync. This is because the Cloud Storage Providers either do not provide file sizes or they store files in internal formats so the file size is unknown. The Linux File System cannot handle zero file sizes so for files such as this they are given a special file type which is that of a web location or .webloc. These files, when you try and download or copy will launch a web browser and download the file. This will only happen once. On the first download the file size is known so the file is then accessible as normal from the Linux OS.\\ \\ **Icon Warning:** If you are in icon view rather than list view the file organiser pulls down data to build the icons. This can take longer to view the file lists until this caching is done.\\ \\ You could choose to use a file manager such as midnight commander to get around this. Please see [[http://blog.storagemadeeasy.com/using-midnight-commander-to-work-with-amazon-s3-openstack-dropbox-onedrive-and-almost-any-other-cloud/|this]] blog article for further details.\\ \\ **Headless Mode:**If you require the use of the Apps from the command line ie. in headless mode then please read [[http://blog.storagemadeeasy.com/using-midnight-commander-to-work-with-amazon-s3-openstack-dropbox-onedrive-and-almost-any-other-cloud/|this]] blog article.\\ \\ \\ **File Sizes:**For certain providers we are unable to get the file size after the first cloud sync.
