If you’re an IT administrator, you can configure Desktop Sync for central installation purposes using the AlfrescoSync.conf file located at:
- (Windows): <userHome>\AppData\Local\Alfresco
- (For Mac): ~/Library/Application Support/Alfresco
Using the configuration file, you can update:
- Timer values, such as polling and retry intervals
- Sync constraint patterns for files/folders to be ignored by Desktop Sync
- Disk space limits
- Custom content type mappings for particular file extensions
- User interface defaults and customization (including localization)
- Network access configuration
- Debug logging
- Change timezone used in AlfrescoDesktopSync.log file
The configuration properties values are case sensitive and use the format name.subname=value, for example, syncmanager.deferFileSyncTimer=15.
