.toml file and multi machine convo backup

[PanagiotisC00]

Is it a valid approach to backup my .codex folder with google drive or onedrive so everything is copied bidirectionally when using 2 PCs (not at the same time)?

Also... with experimental_windows_sandbox = true telling the agent to commit throws lock error. With it off the agent does the commit no error...

In addition though, with experimental_windows_sandbox = true it says sandbox mode read-only for some reason but it does agentic tasks like editing etc... [my toml file is set to workspace-write and never].. Is something wrong here?

If you could answer it would be great 👌

We didn't design the ".codex" folder to be shared across machines, but I can't think of any reason why this shouldn't work.

I'm not sure I understand your second question. You mentioned "it says sandbox mode read-only". What is saying that? Are you seeing this in the /status output? Or is the agent (model) output saying this? If you think something is working incorrectly here, please use the /feedback slash command to upload your logs and file a bug with a thread ID in the bug report.

1. probably not a good idea to backup history because maybe it gets locked in by google drive while trying to backup and at the moment maybe codex is trying to write.

2. The read only is shown in /status while .toml is configured on workspace-write. This happens only with windows experimental OFF.

3. The question was if iam doing something wrong if i have windows experimental OFF while being on windows, because it seems that everything works better with it OFF.

Thank you for your time!

Also on windows i dont want windows sandbox because it doesnt let the agent commit. How can i work around this?
