Acronis True Image 2013 File Synchronization - Historical Overview
Archive: this overview describes the named historical release.
Historical tutorial context: synchronization and backup.
The original synchronization workflow
The old tutorial described selecting a folder and making its contents available across configured devices. The application and service workflow belonged to True Image 2013, so it should not be treated as a current click-by-click guide.
Synchronization is a separate task
Keeping devices in step is useful for active work. It can also carry unwanted changes between locations. Recovery depends on the service version history and retention, not merely on the presence of another synchronized device.
Protect files before changing an old setup
Make an independent copy of folders before disconnecting devices, changing synchronization settings or removing an old account. Confirm where complete local files are stored before uninstalling software.
