Increase Maximum Memory

By default Syncrify server is configured to use a maximum of 512 MB ram. This number can be increased up to 1536 MB on a 32bit machine and up to 192 GB for machines running 64bit operating systems.

Increase Syncrify's Default Memory Usage

Stop Syncrify if it is running

Locate service.properties file in C:\Syncrify\config folder and open it in any editor like Notepad

Look for a line that says:

additional.options.1=-Xmx512m

Change this line to represent the new value, for example:

additional.options.1=-Xmx2048m

This will make the maximum memory to 2GB. Note, you should not change the maximum value to 2GB if you are running on a 32bit machine.

Save the file

Open a Console Window (DOS), change the current directory to C:\Syncrify by typing:

cd \Syncrify

Then, type the following:

InstallService -uninstallService

This will uninstall the Windows service.

Finally, type the following:

InstallService -installService

This will register Windows service again.
