Microsoft Sync Framework is a comprehensive synchronization platform that enables collaboration and offline access for applications, services, and devices. It features technologies and tools that enable roaming, sharing of data, and taking data offline. By using Sync Framework, developers can build synchronization ecosystems that integrate any application with any data from any store that uses any protocol over any network.
This is the documentation for Sync Services for File Systems. Sync Services helps an application synchronize files, folders, and subfolders in NTFS, FAT, or SMB file systems. The directories to synchronize can be local or remote and do not have to be of the same file system. The application can use static filters to exclude or include files either by listing them explicitly or by using wildcard characters (such as *.txt), or the application can set filters that exclude whole subfolders. The application can also register to receive notification of file synchronization progress.
For information about documentation for other Sync Framework components, see this Microsoft Web site.
