The FileCloud Sync app on Windows shows overlay icons on files and folders to indicate their sync status.
The overlay icons appear on all files and folders inside MyFiles, Network Shares, Team Folders, and Shared with Me.
The following icon overlays are currently supported.
Icon | Status |
---|---|
No Icon | File or Folder is new and has not been synced to the sync server. |
File or Folder has been synced to server and is up to date. | |
| File has been modified and has not yet been synced to the server. |
File is in conflict because changes have been made both in the server and locally. It needs to be resolved by the user. | |
| File is in a lock state and the owner has to release for other users to update it. |
The FileCloud Sync app also integrates with Windows Explorer to offer some Sync options for files and folders.
To copy a file or folder outside the FileCloud Sync folder to My Files, right-click the file or folder and choose Move To FileCloud.
The file or folder is copied into the My Files sync folder and automatically synced to the remote FileCloud server.
When you right-click on a file or folder inside the FileCloud Sync folder, additional options are presented.
See Right-click Option Definitions, below.
To include right-click sharing options with FileCloud Sync on Mac OSX, you must enable FileCloud Sync extensions.
