PeerSync allows for the ability to dynamically map and un-map a Source or Target folder selection. The way you do this is to add a letter to the beginning of the UNC path that you wish to map the drive to. This can be done for the Source or Target selection (i.e. n\\COMPUTER\SHAREDDEVICE\PATH).
For Example: n\\DELLSERVER\D\USERDATA |
The example above will map the D drive on the DELLSERVER to the N drive upon start of PeerSync and will unmap the drive when PeerSync terminates. This is a quite useful feature especially when running PeerSync as a service in the scenario where you want to synchronize to a mapped drive. This feature will allow for it to occur seamlessly.
Note: If you are going to run PeerSync as a Service it is advised to use UNC paths or PeerSync's Dynamic Network Drive Mapping and Unmapping feature instead of using mapped drives due to the fact that mapped drives are not understood when a user is not logged on.
Next/Last Available Drive Mapping
This feature allows for the dynamic mapping of the next (A) or last (B) available network drive by using the following format in the Source or Target Fields:
Map Next Available Example: A\\COMPUTER\SHAREDDEVICE\PATH Map Last Available Example: B\\COMPUTER\SHAREDDEVICE\PATH |
Local Drive Mapping
This feature allows for the dynamic mapping of a local drive by using the following format in the Source or Target Fields:
Map Local to N Example: N\\LOCALCOMPUTER\SHAREDDEVICE\PATH |
