Step 1: Add your local folder
Click on the 'Sync' tab and go to 'Add Sync'. A new window will open. Click on 'Select folder' to select your local folder. A new window will show you the path to your local folder. Click 'Ok' to confirm.
Step 2: View your sync folder The folder will be synced automatically. You can see an overview of your online Wuala sync folder. If you want to disable sync, please click on 'Unlink'.
Step 3: Add another folder to your online Wuala Sync folder
Start Wuala on another computer. A new window will appear asking you if you want to sync the folder. Select the sync folder and click on OK. You may change the path of the sync folder by clicking on '...'. The sync overview shows you which local folders have been linked to your online Wuala sync folder.
Now you can edit files directly in your local folders (even if you're offline) or drop something into your online Wuala sync folder. Wuala will automatically adjust the changes, keeping your files up to date.
If I have two very large music folders which are currently exact copies, can I set up this sync without duplicating all my files with the initial sync?
ReplyDeleteYou didn't explain the option "advanced"... That's were you can set the target folder in Wuala. Be default a sync folder will be inserted into the root folder, even if you navigated into the folder tree. The sync folder should be automatically added to active folder.
ReplyDeleteSync is great, but the setup logic needs improvement.
@Sid Yes, we first compare the hashes of both files before creating a duplicate.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous. We'll be posting another post about details with sync. This one was just meant to be basic.
Thanks also for your feedback, I will pass it on to the developers.
