In Windows Explorer and in the Finder of the Mac OS, context menus and so-called overlay icons appear on the files and folders monitored by TeamDrive after installation. These are system extensions that can be switched off manually if required.

Using Windows:

  1. Open a Dos shell in ‘Admin’ mode. In the Windows menu, type cmd and right-click the cmd.exe entry and select the “Run as administrator” item.
  2. Change to the folder with the shell extension DLLs (TeamDriveShellExt32.dll, TeamDriveShellExt64.dll) with the command: cd “%PROGRAMME”\TeamDrive”.
  3. To uninstall the shell extension, run the following 2 commands:
  • regsvr32 /u TeamDriveShellExt32.dll‘.
  • regsvr32 /u TeamDriveShellExt64.dll‘.​

Using MacOS:

Open the System Preferences (Usually found in the Apple menu).

Select the item “Extensions”. Under “All” you will find the TeamDrive entry. Deactivate the button.
