Once your allocated storage quota is fully utilized, the JioCloud Windows application will notify you with an alert titled ‘Quota Exhausted’ while the app is running in the background on your PC.

If you are operating a 32-bit version of Windows, this could be the reason you are encountering difficulties installing JioCloud. From the app version 1.40.0, JioCloud no longer supports 32-bit Windows operating systems. However, you can successfully install the latest version of the JioCloud app on a 64-bit Windows OS by following this link. 

 

If you are using a 64-bit Windows OS and still experience issues with the JioCloud installation, please contact us at care.jiocloud@jio.com for further assistance. 

Syncing may be paused because your device's disk space is running low. JioCloud automatically pauses syncing and sends notifications to prevent any potential issues when your available disk space is low compared to the data being synced.

When your available disk space is low, JioCloud will automatically pause syncing and send a notification. You’ll also see a notification card in the system tray, where you can choose to resume syncing if you believe there's sufficient disk space.

When your disk space is 100% consumed, syncing will be paused immediately. You will receive a notification indicating that your computer is out of disk space, and syncing cannot continue until space is freed up.

JioCloud pauses syncing to prevent any potential issues when your device's disk space is low or full. Here's how to manage each situation: 

  • Low Disk Space: If syncing is paused due to low disk space, and you believe there’s still sufficient space, you can easily resume syncing by clicking "Continue Syncing" on the system tray card. Otherwise, you can clean up your disk space manually. 
  • Out of Disk Space: If your device is out of disk space, syncing cannot proceed until you free up some space. To resolve this, click on "Manage Disk Space" from the system tray card and follow the steps to clean up your device. Once sufficient space is available, you can resume the sync.
