Alfresco Sync Service is an add-on
module that synchronizes files between the desktop and repository using web services. It's part
of the Desktop Sync solution that consists of
three components: Sync Service, Desktop Sync for Windows, and Desktop Sync for Mac. This documentation
describes how to install, configure, and administer the Sync Service.
Here is a summary of the key capabilities:
- Clustering for scalability support
- Added support for more databases: PostgreSQL, Oracle, MySQL, and AWS Aurora MySQL
- Support for AWS deployment
- Events monitoring for content, Governance Services, and permission changes
Important: The Sync Service module can be
applied to Alfresco One, and previous
versions of Alfresco Content Services. See Prerequisites and supported platforms for more.
