Resilio Sync Folder Types: A Step-by-Step Guide

When setting up a custom path for your Resilio Sync folder, you have the option to browse for a specific location without using path macros. This allows for OS-specific common shortcuts and provides more flexibility in choosing your synchronization paths.

To begin, select a path for an agent using the folder browser or type it out manually. In this example, we will create one 'source' RW agent, which means that files can be uploaded to others and exchanged across each other in all directions. This option is optional, but it's useful if you need to share files between multiple agents.

When setting up your agents, you also have the option to enable 'Selective Sync'. This feature allows you to select specific files or folders to synchronize, which can be useful for managing large amounts of data.

Once you've set up your agents, you can create a group of agents that will be able to upload and download files from each other. This is done on the 'Agents' tab, where you can select existing groups of agents or create a new one. Agents belonging to this group will be able to exchange files across each other in real-time.

The next step is to give your job a name and description. In this example, we're using 'Synchronization Job', but you can choose any name that suits your needs.

Before proceeding, it's recommended to go to the 'Bandwidth' tab and add a new schedule for your synchronization job. This will allow you to specify preferred hours for syncing and pause all other activities during those times.

Once your job is created and configured on the Jobs tab, you can start synchronizing files across your agents. In this example, we're synchronizing an 'Invoices' folder across multiple agents and backing up the files to a server at the end of each day.

Resilio Connect provides a range of features for managing your files, including scheduled backups, file exchange, and real-time synchronization. Files in the shares can be modified, new files added, or some deleted, and these changes will be propagated to other agents in real-time.

In addition to synchronizing files, Resilio Connect also gives you the option to perform one-way file backup across multiple agents. This feature is useful for creating a backup of your files in case something goes wrong.

Overall, Resilio Sync provides a powerful tool for managing your files and keeping them synchronized across multiple agents. With its range of features and flexible configuration options, it's an essential tool for anyone who needs to manage large amounts of data.
