You can configure Folder Sync rules that determine how and when your folders should be
synchronized:
• Folders can be synchronized automatically each time a change is made, or you can
synchronize folders manually.
• New files added to a synchronized folder on either your computer or your FreeAgent
drive can be automatically copied to the corresponding synchronized folder in the
other location, or you can instruct FreeAgent Tools to ask you each time the situation
arises.
• Files in synchronized folders can be automatically replaced with new versions or you
can instruct FreeAgent Tools to ask you each time the situation arises.
You have three options:
1. Use the default sync settings.
2. Select your own folders for Automatic Sync.
3. Select your own folders and configure your own sync rules.
If you select the default sync setting by clicking Sync "My Documents", here's what
happens:
— Your My Documents folder is automatically synchronized from computer to
FreeAgent drive each time you make a change.
— When you add a new file to the My Documents folder on your computer, a copy
of the same file is automatically added to the corresponding folder on your
FreeAgent drive. If you disconnect the FreeAgent drive from your computer and
edit files in its My Documents folder on another computer, the My Documents
folders on both your FreeAgent drive and your computer are updated when you
re-connect your FreeAgent drive to your computer.
— Existing versions of files in synchronized folders are automatically replaced with
new versions on both your computer and your FreeAgent drive.
