  1. Sync Center Issues - Trying to support users working from home


    We have users working from home trying to synchronize their files between their remote desktops in the office and their laptops WFH. Are there any solid troubleshooting / hints / check list / videos or documents that I can forward to help them setup Sync Center between their machines? Appreciate the help!

    :)

  2. [Help] Sync Center not syncing anymore in Windows 10

    Hi Yuren,

    Issue as such can be a result of some changes in the configuration settings related to
    Sync Center. To provide you the appropriate steps that can resolve your concern, we'd like to verify the following:

    • What is the overall size of the files that you're trying to sync?
    • What's the type of the files that you're trying to sync?
    • How does the Sync Center configured on your device? For better understanding, we'd like to request for a screenshot of it.

    Regards.

  3. Windows 10 Editions that Support Sync Center?

    Thanks for your reply and clarifying that Windows 10 Home edition indeed support Sync Center.

    I have reviewed your suggestions and encounter a problem attempting to "Manage Offline Files" in Sync Center. Following your instructions excerpted below:

    To enable the offline files follow the below steps.

    1. Press “Windows+X” and go to “control panel”.

    2. Click on “sync center” and click on “manage offline files”.

    3. Check whether it is enabled or not. In any case it is not, click
    Enable Offline Files followed by Ok. You will be asked to restart the computer.

    During Step 2 when I click on "Manage Offline Files" there is literally no response from the Sync Center user interface. There are no windows that pop under or over, there is no change in the text display on the screen and no error
    messages of any kind. Below is a screen shot of Sync Center after I clicked "Manage Offline Files".

    In your second set of instructions, you refer to enabling offline files via the "Disk Usage, Encryption and Network tabs". I was unable to locate these tabs reviewing various disk management tools in control panel, settings and
    File Explorer. Please advise and clarify how I can enable Offline Files and/or next steps so that ultimately I can setup and manage Sync Center partnerships.

    Thanks,

    Bill

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
