Any folder added to Syncplicity can be synchronized across multiple machines. After a folder is synchronized, files within can be created, edited, and or deleted from any computer, device, or website. Syncplicity will ensure those changes are replicated everywhere so all locations are always up-to-date. Audit trails of past revisions are also available and can be downloaded at any time or restored in-place. See How do I restore a deleted file or previous version of a file for instructions on how to do so.

Action: Set Folder Location

You will need to ensure you have first added the folder you wish to synchronize. If you haven't done so yet, ensure you are on the computer with the folder you wish to sync and click here to follow the instructions to add a folder.

On your other computers running Syncplicity, a dialog will appear asking the user whether they wish to accept and sync the folder onto this computer or not. This dialog will also appear any time a new folder is added to the user account from another machine or shared with the user by another person.

By default, Syncplicity will sync folders to a folder inside the Documents folder for Windows users or the user Home folder for Mac OS users. The dialog presents the option to either sync the folder to the default location or to customize the location.

For advanced users: The default sync location on Windows is %HOMEDRIVE%\%HOMEPATH% which generally expands to "C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Syncplicity Folders". For Mac OS users, the default location is “~/Syncplicity” which generally expands to “/home/<username>/Syncplicity”
