Sync Options
You can specify a set of options as part of the sync.
Specify the files to include in the FileSyncToy run. The default is * (for all files).
You can customize FileSyncToy to include only certain files, such as *.jpg to include only .jpg files, or *.jpg; *.bmp (separated by a semicolon and optional space) to include only files with those two extensions.
It is best to be as specific as possible when designating files to include, as in the example here: *.jpg; *.bmp; *2023.docx
If you enter text composed of three or four characters without an *, FileSyncToy will assume you are searching for a file extension and add the wildcard (*) and a period.
If you specify an * and additional options, for example *; *.bmp; *.jpg then the * will be removed, leaving *.bmp; *.jpg
Examples:
- * = Wildcard, any number of any characters (all files)
- *.jpg = Only files with the 'jpg' extension, upper/lowercase is ignored
- Jeff*.doc = All 'doc' files beginning with 'jeff'
- *2023*.doc* = All files containing '2023' and file extension starting with 'doc' (for example, docx)
- *2023* = All files containing '2023' regardless of file extension
Specify the files to exclude in the FileSyncToy run. The default is blank (no files are excluded). You cannot use * as this would exclude all files.
The customization of this option is the same as include (with the exception of the *) for files to be excluded.
Exclude has priority over include. If the files to include match a file, and the exclude also matches the file; the file will be ignored.
By selecting this option, all read-only files will be excluded during sync operations. By default, read-only files will be synced.
By selecting this option, all hidden files will be excluded during sync operations. By default, read-only files will be synced.
By selecting this option, all system files will be excluded during sync operations. By default, read-only files will be synced.
