Introduction To CloudSync
On behalf of FileAssist, we would like to welcome you to CloudSync. You may be asking yourself, what is CloudSync? CloudSync is an application developed by FileAssist to easily synchronize files and folders from your FileAssist account to your computer. Don’t want to synchronize all your FileAssist files and folders to your computer? With CloudSync’s Selective Folder Sync, you never have to sync all of your FileAssist folders; just sync the folders you want to and click Update, it’s that simple.
Once your FileAssist files and folders have been synced to your computer, sharing is as simple as a right click. Want files sent directly to your computer? Not a problem; CloudSync allows you to designate specific folders on your computer for others to directly share to. CloudSync increases productivity by allowing you to work directly from your computer and automatically syncing your saved changes to FileAssist in real time.
System Requirements
- At least 2GB of RAM (4GB+ recommended)
- Enough hard drive space to equal or exceed the total amount of data you would like to sync from your FileAssist account
- Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10
