Device Configuration XML For Drive for Mac

Client Device configuration settings can be configured remotely by specifying the configuration XML using policies.

For most clients, if the user changes the configuration locally, then the remote settings configured by the Administrator will override those settings the next time the client refreshes its settings.

To set FileCloud Drive for mac device configuration in a policy:

  1. In the FileCloud admin portal's left navigation bar, scroll down and click Settings. Then, on the Settings navigation page, click Policies  PoliciesIcon.png .
    The Policies settings page opens.

disableprecaching

Setting this value to 1 disables precaching.

If many Drive users have access to a large data structure, the FileCloud server may experience a high load. This can be avoided by deactivating precaching. However, folder contents will no longer be cached in Drive which can lead to longer response times.

disableautologin

By default, once a drive is mounted, the authentication will be reused on every FileCloud Drive for Mac start ups. Setting this key to 1 will require authentication from user on every start up.
