Program Settings

These are some settings that affect how Syncovery behaves in general. None of these options are profile-specific.

For other advanced information, please see Advanced Information.

Store Preferences
You can select the location where to store the profiles and settings. To do this, select the appropriate option here. 
The new INI file location (the exact file path) will be displayed here when you restart the program. Note that the INI file location can be overriden using the /INI=xxx command line option, see Advanced Information.


Startup Options

These options specify how the background scheduler should behave when you log in.


Log files
On the Options tab sheet, you can also activate logging:
Each log file will contain detailed information about all operations that the program carries out while running a profile, including the start and end time and date.

Notification Preferences

If desired, the program can send an email whenever a profile has been run. Be sure to go into the Email Settings dialog and specify the recipient(s) and the SMTP server details.


Miscellaneous
You can specify a folder where the databases are stored (when using SmartTracking, Cache Destination File List, or Partial File Updating).

You can also specify an external diff tool which is used to show a text comparison of two files with the same name on each side. In the Sync Preview, you can use the right-click (context) menu to invoke the diff tool.

Advanced Options
Use macOS copyfile function
If you experience any problems with the file copying, try this option.
Buffer size for copying files
The main reason that the integrated copying algorithm is faster than many others is the large buffer that is normally used. You can adjust the size to optimize working with some types of media.
