SYNCHRO Construction Solution - Synchronize Files to ProjectWise Share

Share Sync allows you to synchronize files from ProjectWise Share to your computer. Using Share Sync you can upload files to ProjectWise Share for project members to access, or you can access files that have been uploaded to ProjectWise Share by project members.

Setup Folder for Synchronization

Before you can synchronize files, the user will need to use the Set for synchronization option for the folder.

Uploading files to ProjectWise Share

Set the folders for synchronization.
When you open this folder, you find all the files that have been added to that folder in ProjectWise Share. If the files are not present, ProjectWise Share may not have synchronized yet, as determined by the Sync Frequency time. To immediately synchronize ProjectWise Share, select Sync Now from the Share tab of the Preferences dialog box of the Connection Client.
To upload files to ProjectWise Share from your local device, first navigate to the appropriate folder in Windows Explorer. Copy the files you would like to upload to the folder. When ProjectWise share has synchronized, the files will be available in the appropriate folder of the Project for everyone associated with the project.

Notes:

To synchronize the folders immediately, navigate to the Share tab of Connection Client as described above and select Sync Now.
If you are associated with multiple projects, the synchronized folders for each project can be found on your device inside of the folder with the name of the project, which can be found inside of your Share folder in Windows Explorer.
If you cannot access ProjectWise Share, please contact your administrator.

ProjectWise Share - Tips

You can sync up to 25 folder hierarchies. These folder hierarchies can be in one project or in multiple projects, if you are associated with more than one project. Each folder hierarchy can be configured for Share Sync up to 25 times, and the maximum total size of a folder hierarchy is 8GB. Each folder hierarchy can contain up to 100 nested subfolders. Subfolders can be nested to a maximum depth of 25. Folders can contain individual files up to 2GB in size.

For example, the following folder hierarchies are supported by ProjectWise Share:

A folder hierarchy containing four 2GB files. If one of the files was greater than 2GB, it would not be supported.
A folder hierarchy containing eight 1GB files. If the total size exceeded 8GB however, it would not be supported.
A folder hierarchy containing sixteen 500MB files.
A folder hierarchy containing 100 subfolders, each subfolder containing one 1MB file. If the folder hierarchy contained more than 100 subfolders, it would not be supported.

The following folder hierarchies are not supported by ProjectWise Share:

A folder hierarchy containing one 3GB file. Even though the total size is under 8 GB, one of the files is over 2GB in size; therefore this is not supported.
A folder hierarchy containing nine 1GB files. Even though all of the files are under 2GB in size, the total size is over 8GB; therefore this is not supported.
A folder hierarchy containing 101 subfolders, each subfolder containing one 1MB file. Even though the total size is under 8GB and no individual file is greater than 2GB, the number of subfolders is greater than 100; therefore this is not supported.
