Thank you Sebastian,

I had actually just gone in and turned off the scheduled file sync, thinking that it may be causing the problem. I also turned off the autosync in the Host Settings, but I will turn it back on.

I just had another department contact me to let me know that none of their file links are working. Sure enough, the FileIDs of each file that is linked to in their Links module have been changed.

You say that FileID values cannot be altered, but that rather the files are being deleted and recreated. Could the scheduled file sync have been deleting and recreating the files on its own, or is there something else that could be doing that?

Here are a few other questions that I would appreciate your input on:

• How long of a cache setting should I be giving my Announcement modules?
• How often should I go in and perform a recursive manual file sync? And should I have the root directory selected when I do it?
• I have never quite understood what the difference between the standard file sync and the recursive file sync is. Does the standard sync only synchronize the selected file or folder? Does the recursive sync synchronize the selected directory and all of that directory's children, or does it synchronize the entire contents of the File Manager?

Thank you,
Kurt

Thank you Sebastian,
