I guess I can just hit the underlying file structure and deal with the occasional duplication mismatch that doing that might cause. I say that because I know that I will forget and be in the underlying files and accidentally commit a write. Thanks for the reply though. Ill look into the other version.

Hello, I've done a bit of searching and can't quite find the answer to my problem. First off: My software versions: CloudDrive 1.0.0.631 BETA DrivePool 2.1.1.561 I have a Drive Pool consisting of a local Disk and a Cloud Drive. I am using Amazon Cloud Drive (hence the 1.0.0.631 version software). My pool is set up to duplicate everything x2...and since I have 2 devices (one local, one cloud), everything gets duplicated both locally and in the cloud. It has worked nearly flawlessly. I've only had a few problems during power outages where the Pool had to remeasure and re-balance. The only persistent issue I see is when I try to access files. If I load a folder full of music, it seems to take forever while the meta-data is pulled into the windows explorer view. Upon further investigation, it looks like some (if not all) of the read I/O is going to Amazon Cloud Drive to pull down this information. Since all data is fully duplicated on the local hard disk, I was wondering if there was any way for Drive Pool to "Prioritize" drive reads? For instance, never read something from the cloud when it exists locally. Is this possible?
