FileCloud ServerSync

Introduction to ServerSync

FileCloud ServerSync allows you to synchronize content between a local file server and a remote FileCloud Server or FileCloud Online (hosted by FileCloud). It ensures that any changes on your local system—such as new files, updates, or deletions—are automatically synchronized to the cloud.

  • ServerSync is supported on both Windows and Linux.
  • Synchronized files must be on a physically attached disk to the machine running ServerSync.
  • You cannot synchronize files located on Network paths.


ServerSync continuously tracks and syncs the following changes from your local file server to FileCloud:

  • Newly added files
  • Modified files
  • Deleted files

Additionally, ServerSync can optionally sync folder-level permissions from FileCloud to your local system.

  • Permissions are applied as NTFS Permissions.

(warning) To sync folder-level permissions, you must log in with the same user account that originally owns the files.
