Data synchronization enables you to backup your data on the USB stick as well as synchronize it with other computers. For this, you may use your personal My Documents working folder, as well as any other folder on the local computer or any network drive.

Caution:  If you synchronize data then it will be transferred with the help of your USB stick from one computer to another. Data on your USB stick is only protected from access by unauthorized people, if you store it on an encrypted drive. For more details, read the Encrypted Drives chapter.

 Your Documents

Your own documents can be selected from the local computer as well as from the USB stick. In order to switch between the local computer and the USB stick, click on the Notebook or USB stick icons at the top.

Select the desired folder using a check mark.

Before you click the Synchronize button, use the arrow buttons to set whether you want to only write to the USB stick, or replace data on the computer, or want to synchronize both at the same time.

 Folder Synchronization

In order to be able to synchronize additional folders or files, you can open a new screen, with which you can select the corresponding folder, under Folder Synchronization by means of the Add button.

As can be seen in, you can also specify a number of parameters when selecting folders, such as whether the folder should be transferred and stored as a ZIP file, or if any potentially pre-existing folders should first be deleted from target storage.

The complete Desktop content is synchronized using the Desktop icon. To do this, you need to click the red cross next to the Desktop icon.
