File Sync

 

The File Sync feature enables you to easily synchronize folder contents between the host PC and client PC while in-session. Since File Sync is bi-directional, files are transferred in either direction until both sides match. When files with the same name exist on both ends, you have the option to copy the newer file, copy the older file or skip the file.
