How to install the leitzcloud Sync Tool?


The Sync Tool

The Sync Tool is an application that synchronizes all the files and folders in your leitzcloud with your computer.

When you upload a document via the Sync Tool or the Web Cloud, it is automatically synchronized with the cloud, and you can access the file from anywhere.

If you work on a Windows computer, you have the option to choose between different sync tools: the Windows client and the Safe Sync. The Windows client downloads synchronized files to your local device, allowing you to work offline. On the other hand, the Safe Sync client only displays file names. When you click on a file, it will be downloaded and become visible in your local sync folder.


Install the Sync Tool

To use the Sync Tool on your device, you need to download it first. To do this, log in to your Web Cloud and select "Download Apps" by clicking on your account name in the upper right corner of your screen.

You will then be redirected to a view where you can select the application that is suitable for your operating system. After the download is complete, you can open the Sync Tool installer.

Follow the installation instructions and complete the process. Once it is finished, a login screen will open where you can log on with your login details.

Determine where the leitzcloud synchronization folder should be created. In this folder, you will find all personal folders and Team Shares stored in your leitzcloud.

If you do not want to sync all existing cloud folders with your computer, you can select from the existing directories. Skip this step to synchronize all files.




After the installation

Once the Sync Tool is installed, you can see the leitzcloud icon in your task bar. By clicking on it you can see details like recent activities, memory usage, and make further settings.

Via the folder icon, you will be directed directly to you leitzcloud synchronization folder on your computer, and by clicking on the globe, you will get to the Web Cloud.


Selective Synchronization

In the Sync Tool settings you will find the tab “Sync”. There you can determine which folders in the leitzcloud should be synchronized with your computer and which should not.

Tip: Exclude folders that you currently are not working with from the synchronization. That way you can save local disk storage. These folders are still stored in the leitzcloud and can be accessed via the Web Cloud.
