Synk Icon

Generic Sync Script Template

The Generic Sync script template is for synchronizations that don't have a template more specific to a particular task or situation. Settings are simply preconfigured to reasonable defaults.

This script template may be chosen when you create a new script.

Setup you MUST do:

Synk at the very least needs to know which folders you wish to synchronize. This is configured in the Locations area of the settings. Need more guidance? See Specifying Locations.

Recommended setup:

Synk can keep an archive of the older copies of files that you change or delete. This is not only convenient for when you really need last week's version of that presentation you're working on, but it's also a great safety net if you are tweaking more advanced settings and aren't confident in your changes. See the Archive section of Configuring Scripts.

At this point, you're generally in good shape! Synk uses sensible defaults, so the remaining settings are probably already what you want. Try turning on the script to begin synchronizing. If you want to approve Synk's actions before it takes them, to make sure you have it configured the way you want, you can use the Preview Proposed Actions setting.

Many other settings are available if you want to further customize the way the script works. See Script Settings.
