Task Cloud Transfer - Sync

The Cloud - Sync file(s) Task synchronizes files between a source and a target location. Both source and target can be cloud services (Amazon S3, Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, Google Storage, Microsoft Azure, OneDrive), FTP/SFTP servers, or the local file system.

Sync > Connections sub tab

Source connection

Select the connection to use for the source location. Only cloud and FTP-type connections are shown.

Local files (source)

When checked, the local file system is used as the source instead of a connection. Checking this disables the Source connection selector and forces the target to use a connection (the target Local files checkbox is unchecked).

Target connection

Select the connection to use for the target location. Only cloud and FTP-type connections are shown.

Local files (target)

When checked, the local file system is used as the target instead of a connection. Checking this disables the Target connection selector and forces the source to use a connection (the source Local files checkbox is unchecked).

Sync > Source file filter sub tab

Defines which files from the source are included in the sync. The filter shown depends on the source connection type. Uses the standard Cloud Remote file filter for cloud connections, or the standard remote file filter for FTP connections, or the local file filter for local files.

Sync > Target file filter sub tab

Defines which files on the target are considered during the sync. The filter shown depends on the target connection type, using the same filter types as the source.

Sync > Sync options sub tab

Resolve same name conflicts as

Select how to handle files that exist in both source and target with the same name but different content. Available options:

• Take Source - always use the source file
• Take Target - always use the target file
• Take Newer - use the file with the more recent modification date (default)
• Take Older - use the file with the older modification date
• Take Bigger - use the larger file
• Take Smaller - use the smaller file
• Skip - do not overwrite either file

Resolve equal file conflicts as

Select how to handle files that are considered equal (same name and matching comparison criteria). Only enabled when the same name conflict resolution is set to Take Newer, Take Older, Take Bigger, or Take Smaller. Available options:

• Take source - use the source file
• Take Target - use the target file
• Skip - do not overwrite (default)

Sync flow

Select the direction of the synchronization. Available options:

• Source -> Target - copies files from source to target only
• Target -> Source - copies files from target to source only
• Source <-> Target - synchronizes in both directions (default); disables the Delete source file option

Delete source file after download

When checked, the source file is deleted after it has been successfully copied to the target. The label changes based on the sync flow direction. Only enabled when a one-directional sync flow is selected.

Source missing action

Select what to do with files that exist on the target but are missing on the source (i.e. files that were deleted from the source but remain on the target). Available options:

• Delete - delete the file from the target
• Skip - leave the file on the target (default)
