Rekordbox Cloud Library – unable to relocate local files
Hi everyone,
I’m running into a pretty confusing issue with Rekordbox Cloud Library Sync and I’m trying to understand whether this is a limitation, a bug, or something I’m missing.
Setup / context
-
Rekordbox with Cloud Library Sync enabled
-
Library size ~30 GB
-
Dropbox desktop client installed and logged in with the Cloud Option DJ team account
-
Initial Cloud Library sync completed successfully
At the time I enabled Cloud Library, my DJ library was stored in a folder on my Desktop.
Issue 1 – Cannot relocate local files after Cloud Library initialization
After Cloud Library was fully set up, I tried to move my local music files to a different folder (same computer, different path).
What happens:
-
Rekordbox does not allow me to relocate the files
-
“Display all missing files” says all files exist
-
Relocate options are disabled / unavailable
-
Rekordbox tries to download tracks again from the cloud instead of linking to the existing local files
-
If I move the files back to the original folder used when Cloud Library was created, Rekordbox immediately finds them again and everything works
Cloud Library shows as connected, but Cloud-related options on tracks are often greyed out.
This basically locks the local library to the original folder path used during Cloud Library creation, which feels very limiting.
Issue 2 – Tracks reported as “not stored on the cloud”
On top of that, I now get this error for some tracks:
“Download failed. This track is not stored on the cloud.”
This happens even though:
-
Cloud Library Sync is enabled
-
Account shows as connected
-
These tracks were previously uploaded during initial Cloud Library setup
-
Tracks are visible in the collection and play fine locally (if files are in the original folder)
This makes the cloud state feel inconsistent or partially broken.
Things I’ve already tried
-
Updating “Music File Location” to the new folder
-
Restarting Rekordbox
-
Temporarily disabling and re-enabling Cloud Library Sync
-
Verifying Dropbox desktop app is running and logged in correctly
-
Avoiding re-importing or deleting tracks
Questions
-
Is it officially supported to move the local music folder after Cloud Library has been initialized?
-
Is there a way to force Rekordbox to rebind existing local files to cloud entries?
-
What does the “track is not stored on the cloud” error actually mean in this context?
-
Is a Cloud Library reset / rebuild the recommended solution here?
If anyone from Pioneer DJ or anyone who’s gone through this has insight, I’d really appreciate it.
Right now the only stable option is keeping my files in the original folder used during Cloud setup, which isn’t ideal long-term.
Thanks!
