Enabling SYNC Mode
To enable SYNC mode:

Note: If the gateway is not connected to a portal, the wizard starts by connecting to a portal.
The Select Gateway Mode window is displayed.
2 Select SYNC and click Next.
The Easy Storage Setup window is displayed.
Note: When the gateway is a physical appliance, the license capacity is not displayed.
The available storage is displayed and you can remove this storage or format it, losing all data stored on the drive.

If the setup wizard determines that certain storage configuration changes would be beneficial, the Proposed Actions window is displayed describing the recommended changes.
Either accept the proposed configuration or keep the original configuration by selecting Skip these changes and click Next and the Account Details window is displayed.
4 Click Next.
The Join and Active Directory Domain window is displayed. If your account is in an Microsoft Active Directory domain, you can specify the domain details.
5 Click Skip or Next.
The Select Folders for Sync window is displayed.
Drill-down the cloud drive and select the folders that you want synced to the gateway.

To make files available in SYNC mode:

3 Click Save.
The checked folders are synced to the cloud share.
Note: Windows ACL enabled folders on the portal cannot be synced unless the cloud share is defined as Windows ACL Emulation Mode, as described in Windows File Sharing.
