In Sync - Creating Synchronization Providers With The Sync Framework | Microsoft Learn


Introducing Microsoft Sync Framework: Sync Services for File Systems | Microsoft Learn





Key features of the File system provider include:

  • Incremental synchronization of changes between two file system locations specified via a local or UNC path.
  • Synchronization of file contents, file and folder names, file timestamps, and attributes.
  • Support for optional filtering of files based on filename/extensions, sub-directories, or file attributes
  • Optional use of file hashes to detect changes to file contents if file timestamps are not reliable
  • Reliable detection of conflicting changes to the same file and automatic resolution of conflicts with a no-data-loss policy
  • Allow for limited user undo operation by optionally allowing file deletes and overwrites to be moved to the Recycle Bin
  • Support for Preview mode which provides a preview of the incremental synchronization operation without committing changes to the file system.
  • First-class support for the scenario where the user may start synchronization with equal or partially equal file hierarchies on more than one replica.
  • Support for graceful cancellation of an ongoing synchronization operation such that the remaining changes can be synchronized later without having to re-synchronize changes that were already synchronized.
