Add a file to the sync folder
Add a file from the desktop to the sync folder.
When add a file from the desktop to the local sync folder, a copy is made on the corresponding server. The files are synced so that changes made to one copy of the file are also made to the other.
- Drag and drop a file into the local sync folder.
- Save a file to the sync folder from a desktop application.
- To begin syncing a file after it has already been added to SmartCloud or Connections:
- Navigate to a file you uploaded to SmartCloud or Connections. We can find these files in Windows Explorer under the navigation section for Connections or SmartCloud.
- Right-click a file and choose Add to sync.
What to do next
To stop syncing a file, for example, when we do not want changes made to a local file copied to the server copy, right-click a file and choose Remove from sync. The file is removed from the local sync folder but the local file and the server files are preserved. To suspend file sync and delete the server copy, right-click a file in the sync folder and choose IBM Connections > Delete from Server.
