Content on the CTERA Portal can be synced to your PC, giving you local access to the CTERA Portal content. In addition, local content on a PC running a CTERA Agent can be synchronized with the CTERA Portal Cloud Drive.
Users can sync files across multiple devices, such as a desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones via the CTERA Portal. Whenever any change of any kind is made to any synced file, the same change is made immediately in the other synced locations.
For example, if a file is deleted from one of the folders, the same file is deleted from the other synced folders. It makes no difference in which of the synced folders the change was made.
Only files shared at the cloud drive root level are synced to the Cloud Drive folder.
Users can collaborate easily with others. Users can sync any number of shared folders with folders on other user devices. Everyone who syncs the shared folder can view, update, and delete the files in the shared folder and the change is applied everywhere the file is shared.
To sync a folder, in Finder, right-click the folder on your computer to share or that contains files to share and select Sync this folder.
For details about collaboration, see Sharing Content.
CTERA Agent syncs multiple files in parallel, rather than as single-file sync transactions. This reduces the overall throughput of the synchronization process, especially in high-latency environments.
