How do I link to a file or folder?

• Sign in to the web panel.

• Select the Share as link option (or Manage link option if the link has already been created).

• Click the Copy button to copy the link to your clipboard. You can then paste it into an email (Gmail, Outlook, Office 365, Apple Mail etc.), into a message, onto a website, or wherever you want people to access it.

How to use team shared folders？

• Team shared folders make it easy for you to give other people access to view, edit, or add files in folders you specify. Shared folders are added to the Sync account of each team member you invite, and synchronized to each member's computer (when the Sync desktop app is installed).

• Sync Research, Inc. and Business customers can restrict editing with view-only permissions, and invite free Sync users to shared folders, regardless of folder size.

What is the Sync Vault?

Your Sync account includes a cloud-only storage space called Vault. Vault is typically used to backup files and folders located outside of your Sync folder. Files stored in Vault are not automatically synchronized to your other computers or devices, which makes it ideal for backups or freeing up space.

How do I use Vault to free up space on my computer, phone or tablet?

• You can use Vault to free up space by storing files in the cloud-only and removing them from your computer or device. Files and folders stored in Vault are accessible from the web panel or mobile apps, and can be downloaded from the cloud, back to your computer or devices anytime.

• Free up space after uploading files or folders to Vault: Upload your files or folders to Vault directly from your computer, phone or tablet by following these instructions.

• Confirm that your files uploaded to the Vault successfully by following these instructions.

• Once you have confirmed your files were uploaded to Vault successfully, you can proceed to delete them from your computer, phone or tablet to free up space.

What are the differences between the Sync folder, and Vault?

• The Sync folder is a special folder located on your computer, that is backed up to the cloud as you add or make changes to your files. Additionally, files in the Sync folder are automatically synchronized to any other computer you install the Sync desktop app on, making it easy to access the same set of files from multiple computers.

• Vault is a separate "cloud only" storage location that does not automatically synchronize. You can manually copy any file or folder, anywhere on your computer (including external drives), to Vault, to create a cloud backup.
