Increase ServerSync Scanning Speed

You can reduce the time ServerSync takes to scan your local sync folders by changing the single-threaded logic used by default to run ServerSync to multi-threaded logic.

To configure ServerSync to scan more quickly:

1. Open the following file for editing:

   %APPDATA%\FileCloudServerSync\syncclientconfig.xml

2. Add the following code:

   <rowentry>
       <name>fsscantype</name>
       <type>string</type>
       <value>multi</value>
   </rowentry>
   
   <rowentry>
        <name>fsscanmaxthreads</name>
        <type>string</type>
        <value>15</value>
    </rowentry>
   

   In most cases, optimal speed is achieved by setting the parameter fsscanmaxthreads in the code above to 15.
3. Save your changes and close the file.
4. For the changes to take effect, restart ServerSync.

To revert back to single threaded, logic:

1. Set the fsscantype parameter to single.
2. Remove or comment out the second variable.

3. Save your changes and close the file.

4. For the changes to take effect, restart ServerSync.

   <rowentry>
       <name>fsscantype</name>
       <type>string</type>
       <value>single</value>
   </rowentry>
   
   <!-- <rowentry>
        <name>fsscanmaxthreads</name>
        <type>string</type>
        <value>15</value>
    </rowentry> -->
