Device Configuration XML For Server Sync

Client Device configuration settings can be configured remotely using policies.

For most clients, if the user changes the configuration locally, then the remote settings configured by the Administrator will override those settings the next time the client refreshes its settings.

To set a ServerSync device configuration in a policy:

  1. In the FileCloud admin portal's left navigation bar, scroll down and click Settings. Then, on the Settings navigation page, click Policies .
    The Policies settings page opens.

  2. Edit the policy of the users whose client device settings you want to modify.
  3. Click the Device Configuration tab.
  4. Paste or type in the following remote device configuration XML in Device Configuration replacing <!-- XML for ServerSync App --> with any parameters from the table below.
    <xml>
     <fssync>
        <!-- XML for ServerSync App -->
      </fssync>
</xml>


Supported parameters for FileCloud ServerSync. All parameters are optional. Add one of more of these parameters (as XML tags) in the <fssync> tags in the XML.
