Synchronizes files, website, network apps This is generally good, because cheap cloud storage usually does not allow users to run custom software on storage server, they only provide access to storage. All synchronization logic is handled by client. Server is only running arbitrary storage protocol like SFTP, SMB, NFS, etc. Only client needed It is only needed to install synchronizing software on the client side. Online storage Online file storage option and type Network-attached storage Can sync. Scheduling or service Run automatically (via a scheduler or as a system service), or manually for each sync. Version control Can revert to a precedent version of a file/directory. Programs which do not support it, will behave as if the originally-named file/directory has been deleted and the newly named file/directory is new and transmit the 'new' file again. Commonly done by calculating and storing hash function digests of files to detect if two files with different names, edit dates, etc., have identical contents. This saves bandwidth for remote systems but increases the analysis duration. See File Synchronization Renames/moves Propagate renaming/moving of a file/directory. Edit conflict detection Detect if an operation may result in data loss.
