Data Handling
How Connect Sync handles open files and deleted files or folders during sync operations.
File Handling
Syncing When a File is Open
Trimble Connect Sync indicates which files are currently open and not accessible during manual sync operations. You can decide to skip these files and proceed with syncing the rest of the files or cancel the sync process and start again after you close those files.
For scheduled sync operations, open files will automatically be skipped. The sync status will be shown as Done, but in orange (meaning the sync operation is complete but there were errors).
The sync details can be found in the Activity screen or in the log file (if this has been set up).
Deleted Files or Folders
How Trimble Connect Sync handles deleted files or folders depends on your sync direction. These are the general rules.
| Sync Direction | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Server status | Local status | Bi-directional | Upload only | Download only |
| Deleted 01/02/2021 | Modified 01/01/2021 | Delete local | Upload local | Delete local |
| Deleted 01/01/2021 | Modified 01/02/2021 | Upload local | Upload local | Delete local |
