Do cloaked files get downloaded if they don't exist on disk?

[zhutwo]

I understand that the file cloak feature is to prevent files from automatically being downloaded on update. The example given in the documentation is for files that someone else updates but doesn't concern your work. What happens if the file doesn't exist yet on someone's workspace? Is it auto-downloaded in that instance or still ignored? I have some files that I need to upload for my own reference that nobody else needs on their disk, would cloaking be the appropriate method here?

Hi,

Yes, adding those files to the cloaked list would prevent your team from downloading them. However, the cloaked.conf should be in their own workspaces so you would have to share it with them.

Best regards,
