Browse Files Online
When a normal user connects to the Syncrify web interface, they can view files that are backed up on the server. Using this interface they can view as well as download any file to any machine.
Usage Tips
- Click the right mouse button on any file to download or preview contents. Note: You can only preview files that are displayed inline by a browser, for example, Text files, Images, PDFs or HTML. Try to preview non-viewable files, such as EXE, DLL or any other binary file will cause the browser to download it .
- To download multiple files, check the box next to the file and then select Download by clicking the right-mouse button. When multiple files are selected for download, Syncrify will create a zip file containing the desired files and will send one file over the network.
