Livedrive - moving a folder from one device to another
Discussion
Ok, maybe this is going to seem like a pointless question. I use Live Drive to back up a few computers. I've just changed my personal laptop. On the old laptop I had an external Hard drive which I used to backup movies and personal photos and suchlike. Obviously, it syncs to the Livedrive cloud when it's connected.
I'm going to be using the same hard drive with the new laptop for the same purpose.
So, I can just connect it and it'll sync everything on it as normal but that means that everything on it will be uploaded - again - to LD which will take an age and is a straight duplication of what's already there. Seems pointless.
Is there a way to just swap the existing folder already at LD to associate it with the new laptop, which will be a new device on LD, rather than having to let everything (1.5TB) upload again?
