With rsync, you can synchronize the content of a local folder with your HiDrive folder. Rsync detects partial changes of your files and in this case only transfers those incremental changes, saving time in the process. If the connection is interrupted, file transfer will start at the last position before the interruption occurred.
Requirements
- HiDrive Pro package or another HiDrive package in combination with add-on protocols
- Administrator permissions in HiDrive or administrator privileges granted by another HiDrive administrator

- Log in to your HiDrive account.
- In the menu bar, select Settings > Access Rights and Protocols.
- Click on the pen icon.
