Check for Updates

Whether or not to check for updates on Sync startup.

Values:

• Yes - (default) Check for updates on startup.
• No - Do not check for updates on startup.

Remove Unshared

Whether or not to remove local shared folders when their synced folders are removed from the remote server.

Values:

• No- (default) Do not remove folders from the local server if their synced folders are removed from the remove server.
• Yes - Remove folders from the local server if their synced folders are removed from the remove server. Use this option with caution as data loss might happen if a user has added files to shared folders.

Check Modification Time

Whether or not to use file modification times as well as changes in file sizes to detect file changes. 

Note: By default, only changes in file sizes are used to detect changes to local files. If you change files without the file size changing (like XLS and XLSX) , to enable Sync to detect these changes and upload them to the server, enable this option.

Values:

• No - default. Do not use file modifications to detect file changes; only use changes in file size.
• Yes - Use file modifications and changes in file size to detect file changes.

After enabling this option, restart the sync app and re-login. Enter your account information to continue. When data is resynced, new file changes will be detected and synced automatically. Also see Internal Sync Options.

Check CRC

Whether or not to use CRCs as well as changes in file sizes to detect file changes. 

Note: By default, only changes in file sizes are used to detect changes to local files. Using CRCs to detect changes enables you to determine if files have changed even when their file size has not changed. However, if possible, use only the Check Modification Time option, above, as using CRCs increases CPU load when scanning for changes. It is also possible to combine CRC checks with modtime checks for additional verification.

Uses file CRCs additionally to detect file changes. Use only checkmodtime option above if possible as using CRCs increases CPU load when scanning for changes. It is also possible to combine CRC checks with modification time checks for additional verification.

Values:

• No - default. Do not use CRCs to detect file changes.
• Yes - Use CRC's in addition to changes in file size to detect file changes.

After enabling this option, restart the sync app and re-login. Enter your account information to continue. When data is resynced, new file changes will be detected and synced automatically. Also see Internal Sync Options.

Values:

• None - (default) Backup all paths.

• No  - (default) Check for approvals for file deletes.
• Yes - Do not check for approvals for file deletes.

Delete Approval Percentage

Minimum percent of local files changed that triggers a confirmation alert that requires the user to approve changes before they are synced to the FileCloud server. If the user does not confirm, the changes are reverted. 

For example, if you enter 50, when 50% or more of local content is changed, you are prompted to confirm syncing of changes.

Skip in Use Check
