Mathew, is this feature available for dropbox? I'm keen to get it working 'cause my daily notes/agenda are in a subfolder as well.
This is currently an all of nothing feature. I'm currently doing some work on allowing beorg to work much more effectively with potentially large numbers of files, at that point I'll look to allow folders to be excluded from the sync - and hopefully enable subfolder support for the remaining sync methods and have turned on by default. One thing to bear in mind is that beorg only syncs org files, so even if there are other folders in the tree unless they contain org files they shouldn't get synced - so don't worry about beorg potentially syncing other (potentially large) files.
Not yet. I really need to get back to the subfolders support, introduce to all sync methods and then have it turned on by default.
I'm using beorg, and it's great! I'm also using org-roam as others mention, and I've turned on "sync-subfolders". While turning on this option has enabled the ability to set a "notes" folder, and view directories within the "Files" view, it does not appear to be actually syncing the contents of the subfolders.
I'm using iCloud for the syncing mechanism. In order to get files to show in subfolders, I must go to the "Files" app on my phone, and manually download each file. Once this has been done, they appear & properly get synchronized with updates.
I just wanted to report this behavior in case it was useful as you continue to develop this feature.
Thanks,
Corey
I'm using beorg's choose folder sync method. I have reinstalled both apps, and the behaviour is now very consistent. Beorg always shows all files as if they are in one single directory, and after import, Working Copy shows that all files have been copied into the root directory. If I revert that change, beorg still shows all files, regardless of their directory. If I make edits in beorg, the file is duplicated into the root directory in Working Copy. This behaviour seems completely stable, I am able to reproduce it with different repos in Working Copy, and across reinstalls.
Are you using Working Copy synced folder support - or beorg's "choose folder" sync method?
Potentially you might be best off reinstalling beorg if things have got confused.
Is it possible to deactivate subfolders?
I have an org structure with my agenda-related files in the root ~/org directory, then all my misc nonsense (hundreds of files) in ~/org/reference/. I connected beorg to my Working Copy git repository (~/org) and all my files show up as if they are all in one directory. I have (set! sync-subfolders #f) set in my init.org.
Thanks, sorry and never mind. Works!
Thanks!
I tried both. Maybe tried wrong. Let me try again.
Are you giving it a full relative path for the file or just the file name. For example f notes/important or f important?

Has anyone had any success enabling the experimental subfolders with iCloud?
I'm having trouble syncing in the app even though I have made changes in my org dir and I'm not sure if it is an issue with the feature or my unfamiliarity with iCloud syncing. I'm used to Dropbox.
One issue is that I can see my the directory "roam", but there are no files in it.
