Selectively replicate team folder contents to another team, enabling flexible content migration (Irreversible operation)
Copies selected subfolders or files from team folders rather than entire structures. Useful for creating targeted backups, extracting project deliverables, or migrating specific content. More efficient than full replication when only portions are needed.
watermint toolbox stores credentials into the file system. That is located at below path:
| OS | Path |
|---|---|
| Windows | %HOMEPATH%\.toolbox\secrets (e.g. C:\Users\bob.toolbox\secrets) |
| macOS | $HOME/.toolbox/secrets (e.g. /Users/bob/.toolbox/secrets) |
| Linux | $HOME/.toolbox/secrets (e.g. /home/bob/.toolbox/secrets) |
Please do not share those files to anyone including Dropbox support. You can delete those files after use if you want to remove it. If you want to make sure removal of credentials, revoke application access from setting or the admin console.
