CloudSyncPro provides three ways to manage the lifecycle of your files beyond the main Files view: Favorites for quick bookmarking, Trash for recoverable deletion with a 30-day safety window, and Archive for long-term cold storage with no automatic deletion. Understanding the difference between trash and archive helps you choose the right action for each situation.Documentation Index

Favorites
The Favorites section gives you a persistent bookmark list for any file or folder in your workspace, regardless of which folder it lives in. Marking a favorite Open the⋯ context menu on any file or folder card (in either grid or list view) and choose Add to favorites. A filled star icon appears on the card. You can also favorite items directly from the bulk-action toolbar on the Files page.
Accessing favorites
Click Favorites in the sidebar. The page lists all your favorited folders first (sorted alphabetically), followed by favorited files (sorted by creation date, newest first). Click any row to navigate to the item’s location in the Files page.
Removing a favorite
Click the filled star button on the right side of any row in the Favorites page, or open the ⋯ context menu on the item in the Files page and choose Remove from favorites. Trashed files are automatically excluded from the Favorites list.
Trash
Moving a file or folder to trash is a soft-delete: the item disappears from the Files page but is not immediately destroyed. You have up to 30 days to restore it. Moving items to trash Open the⋯ context menu on any file or folder and choose Move to trash. For folders, the entire subtree — all nested subfolders and their files — is moved to trash in a single cascading operation. You can also bulk-trash selected items using the action bar on the Files page.
Restoring from trash
Navigate to Trash in the sidebar. Each item shows a Restore button. Clicking it returns the file or folder (and its entire subtree, for folders) to active status and makes it visible on the Files page again.
Permanently deleting from trash
Click the Delete button (trash icon) next to an item in the Trash page and confirm the dialog. This action:
- Deletes the file object from Cloudflare R2 storage
- Removes the database record permanently
Archive
Archive is a separate holding area for files you want to keep but no longer need in your active workspace. Unlike trash, archived files have no expiration date and will never be automatically deleted. Archiving a file Open the⋯ context menu on any file on the Files page and choose Archive. The file moves to the Archive section. You can also bulk-archive multiple selected files using the Archive button in the bulk-action bar (note: bulk-archive applies to files only, not folders).
Browsing archived files
Click Archive in the sidebar to see all archived files in the active workspace, sorted by archive date (newest first). Each row shows the file name, size, and the date it was archived.
Restoring from archive
Click the Restore button on any archived file row to return it to active status. You can also select multiple files and click Restore in the bulk toolbar, or click Restore all to restore every archived file in the workspace at once.
Trash vs. Archive: Use trash for files you no longer need but want a safety window to recover. Files in trash are auto-purged after 30 days. Use archive for files you want to keep indefinitely but remove from your main view — archived files are never automatically deleted and must be restored or deleted manually.
