How to synchronize files and folders | Documentation

@MAX SyncUp allows you to perform a bi-directional synchronization of data to keep files in two Windows folders in sync. This feature is commonly used if you have two Windows computers and need to have updated files on both machines without the hassle of moving data manually. To synchronize files, you need to create a synchronization profile using the New profile wizard. The wizard will take you through all the steps of making a sync task in a step-by-step manner. When the profile is created, the program executes it at a scheduled time automatically.

Let's say, for instance, you need to keep the same collection of photos on your personal laptop and the server of your company that you have access through SFTP.

To synchronize files and folders, follow the steps below:

  1. Run the program.

  2. On the toolbar click the New profile button

    This opens the New profile wizard. The first tab lets you select the profile type.

  6. Select the target folder for the Pictures and then redirect the Edited photos to the My edited photos (enter path for the Edited photos into the Source path field, then enter path for the My edited photos on the server into the Target path field and then click Add). Then click Next.

    This opens the tab where you can add filters to include (or exclude) certain types of files into the synchronization process.
