If you're experiencing problems with new client folders not appearing or syncing in the Canopy Virtual Drive, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve common issues:
1. Verify Permissions
Ensure that you have the correct permissions to access the specific client folders. Users can only see folders for clients they have the rights to view or manage. (Source: ,
2. Check Folder Naming Conventions

Ensure that client names do not have trailing spaces or include disallowed characters like
/ : * ? “ < > |as these can prevent folder visibility. (Source: , ,Check for duplicate client names as the Virtual Drive does not recognize Display Names and may conflict when multiple records share the same name. (Source:

Files must be organized within Canopy for them to appear in the Virtual Drive. Ensure that no files are left unorganized or in the file inbox.

New clients or folders cannot be directly created within the Canopy Virtual Drive.

Avoid leaving trailing spaces in client names.
Eliminate disallowed symbols in folder or client names.
