Baidu cloud sync disk

The basic function of Baidu Cloud Sync Disk is automatic synchronization. You don't need to upload and download manually. You only need to set a synchronization folder when logging in. The synchronization disk will automatically synchronize the files in this folder with the files on the server. You don't have to upload the file again every time you update it. As long as the sync disk is turned on, these operations will be automatically completed by the sync disk, saving time and worry.

How to use

What's going on with the sync folder on the sync disk? How to set it up?

After you set up a synchronization folder on your computer, Baidu Cloud Sync Disk will monitor the files in this folder in real time. Once the synchronization disk finds that the user has operated on these files, it will immediately perform the same operation on the network hard drive to keep the files in the network hard drive consistent with the local files.

Similarly, if you operate on files in the network hard disk, the sync disk will immediately perform the same operation on the files in the synchronization folder on the computer. In other words, if you create a file locally, an identical file will be automatically created on the network hard drive; if you modify it locally, it will be automatically modified on the network hard drive; if you delete it locally, it will be automatically deleted on the network hard drive. In turn, file operations performed on the network hard disk will also be automatically synchronized to the local computer by the sync disk.

You can set the location of your sync folder in two ways:

Method one:After the login is completed, the client will automatically pop up the configuration wizard, as shown below:

After selecting the target folder, the synchronization disk will automatically generate a file named"Baidu Cloud Sync Disk"sync folder.

Method two:If you want to change the location of the synchronization folder during use, you can right-click the tray icon of Baidu Cloud, click Settings to open the settings window, and select Change Synchronization Directory:

Set the folders in the synchronization directory on the settings page. For folders that you do not want to synchronize, you can set them to not synchronize. In this way, Baidu Cloud Sync Disk will no longer synchronize modifications to the files in this folder to the network hard drive. Similarly, the files in this folder in the network hard drive will not be synchronized to the local computer.
