The remote file browser functionality is available in FileCloud Server version 13.0 and later.

The ability to access details and metadata for a file directly in Sync is available in FileCloud Server version 18.2 and later.

FileCloud Sync displays as a mapped drive in a file explorer window:

  • Windows Explorer 
  • Mac OSX Finder

Sync is an alternative to using a web browser to access files stored on the FileCloud Server.

In the Sync client, the files you are working on are stored in a remote location (the FileCloud Server) and not on your local disk. 



To open Sync:

  1. Access FileCloud Sync options by right-clicking on the icon in your system tray
  2. To open a file explorer window, selecting File Browser.
  3. A File Browser window opens, displaying the contents synchronized with FileCloud Server.
