Sometimes you may have trouble syncing a folder. Read here, what you can do about it.
Below is a list of various errors. Scroll to the point that applies to you. Basically for every problem, a restart of the client / PC is recommended.
The synchronization breaks again and again
If the very first synchronization fails, you should check if any of the following options apply to you:
- Restart:Restart our software, alternatively you can also restart your PC.
- Standby mode – The standby mode of your PC can interrupt the upload process when you are not working on the computer.
- Antivirus Protection – You can test your AntiVirus program to test whether it blocks the connection to us.
- Proxy server – If you use a proxy server in your network, you first have to configure it manually in the settings of our client.
- Firewall – Another reason may be the firewall, which can block the access to our servers. To allow this, you should allow a rule for incoming and outgoing SSL connections on port 443 TCP to the host name login.yoursecurecloud.de.
