File Sync in IDrive is similar to a folder you carry in your flash drive everywhere, except for the fact that there is no flash drive! You will have access to your most critical data from any device, in a form as if it is on your local drive, and on your IDrive account.
The moment you modify files, the updates sync to the local drive of computers on which Sync is active and to your cloud account; thus you can instantly access the latest version of your files locally via a web browser, and download them using the mobile apps too!
Sync storage does not impact your backup storage. Sync storage limit matches your backup storage limits.
Sync your files and folders in real time across all the devices that you link using IDrive, and easily access them from anywhere! Although your mobile apps and web account are always in sync, you can choose to link only those computers on which you wish to keep files in sync.
