Create and Manage Sync Tasks in FileBrowser Pro for Mac
This guide explains how to create and manage sync tasks in FileBrowser Pro for Mac, allowing you to sync files and folders from network or cloud locations, schedule sync frequency, and control file settings.
Create Sync Task
- Right click the folder you want to sync.
- Select "Create Sync Task"
- Here you can change the preferences of your Sync Task.
- When ready, click the blue tick and that's it.
Settings
Exclude List
Enter a comma separated list of files or folders to exclude. A * character can be used to match a part of a name.
For example:
- data.* excludes data.txt and data.jpg
- data* excludes files and folders starting with 'data'.
Sync Frequency
Set the minimum time between automatic synchronisation runs. Note that macOS will trigger background synchronisation on its own schedule, and disable it altogether if you force quit FileBrowser for Mac.
File Types
Enter a comma separated list of file extensions for file types to include.
For example: 'jpg,jpeg,png'
Sync Files Between Two Remote Locations
Use Sync Tasks to synchronize files and folders directly between two remote locations, without needing to store the files locally in FileBrowser for Mac.
Follow the same instructions as above but click on the 'Edit' button above the FileBrowser Icon. Select a new location to synchronise with the destination folder.
View your Synced Folders and Check your Sync has Run
Click on your Sync location to view your files. Check on your Sync Tasks by:
- Click the "All Tasks" Location on FileBrowser Pro for Mac's home screen.
- Then Select the "Sync" heading and your Sync Task will be listed with a status.
- You can run this Sync again manually by clicking the refresh icon.
- View sync details by right clicking a Sync task and selecting "View Log".
