Enable Advanced Offline Sync Mode - SAFE Sync
Some users want the ability to control more exactly which local folders are synced to which remote folders and in which direction.
There is an "advanced mode" in sync that allows control of such options. To enable advanced mode, open the syncclientconfig.xml and add the following entry
<rowentry>
<name>advancedoffline</name>
<type>bool</type>
<value>1</value>
</rowentry>
Where to find the configuration file?
Operating System | Path |
|---|---|
| Windows | %APPDATA%\FileCloudSync\syncclientconfig.xml |
| Mac OSX | {HomeDir}\FileCloudSync\syncclientconfig.xml |
| Linux | {HomeDir}\FileCloudSync\syncclientconfig.xml |
Then restart the sync app and right click on the sync app and select "Settings" -> "Settings"
Select "Add Offline folder"
In the "Add new offline folder".
"Remote Folder" - location to sync to.
"Local Folder" - location to sync from.
Select the sync frequency and mode (Sync, Local to Remote, Remote to Local).
Select "Add Folder" - this location will start working in advanced offline mode as configured.
The following sync modes are currently supported:
Sync Mode | Notes |
