Limit ServerSync to a Schedule

You can schedule when ServerSync runs.

Why Would I Want to Set a Schedule?

If you are running the FileCloud Sync app on a busy network, you may want ServerSync to run at the least busiest times
If you just want to save your changes to the FileCloud Server at the end of each day

You can only set one time when ServerSync will run for every day you select. The default time is from 8:00:00 AM To 8:00:00 PM.

For example:

If you choose Sunday and Tuesday for days of the week
If you schedule the hours from 8:00:00 AM To 10:00:00 AM
Then ServerSync will be active only on Sundays and Tuesdays and only during the hours between 8 AM and 10 AM. It will remain disabled on other days and times.

The settings you use impact the Sync application in the following ways:

Setting	Value	Impact	Notes
Time Active Controls	enabled	ServerSync will be active ONLY during the schedule times At all other times ServerSync remains disabled, which means real-time syncing and offline folders syncing will be disabled. The Pause button on the Home screen is disabled	To use the Start or Pause buttons again: Disable Time Active Controls
Time Active Controls	disabled	ServerSync will always be active The Sync Now button on the Home screen can be used The Pause button on the Home screen can be used	If Time Active Controls are automatically disabled, you can enable them again by: Unselecting the Doc editing only mode checkbox Starts Sync by clicking the "Start" button on Home screen
