Synchronizing Folders; Using Simple Sync - Maxtor OneTouch 4 Mini User Manual

Synchronizing Folders

Sync is designed to synchronize files in one or more folders between two or more
computers. You can sync selected folders from one computer to your OneTouch drive and
then connect the drive to another computer to complete the sync.
Note: Files cannot be synchronized between computers running XP and those running Vista.
You have these Sync options:
Simple Sync:
Sync XP My Documents or Vista Personal Folder
Sync all file types
Sync automatically
Always overwrite older file versions
Note: Make sure all computers participating in the Sync are set to precisely the same time to
ensure that Sync works properly.

Using Simple Sync

Simple Sync is pre-configured to automatically sync all file types in your XP My Documents
or Vista Personal Folder folder. Newer file versions always overwrite older versions.
To select Simple Sync,
