1 New in this release: Selective Sync Users can now choose which top level folders within My Files & Folders they would like to sync, giving flexibility over the amount of disk space consumed by ShareFile. The folders can be selected during initial configuration or from the Preferences UI. Note: Files contained within the root of My Files & Folders will always be synced. Folder selection during initial configuration Folder selection from Preferences UI If you choose to uncheck a subfolder of My Files & Folders that is already being synced, you will receive this warning to let you know that the files on your local machine will be moved to the Recycle Bin. However, the data will remain in your ShareFile account.

2 Dashboard Updates Updated navigation within Dashboard Double-clicking on a file listed in the Synced or Checked Out files tab will open it in the associated locally installed application Bug Fixes Assorted bug fixes and quality improvements On-Demand Sync This version of Sync is not certified for use in On-Demand mode. Please use the latest ShareFile On- Demand Sync version that is available from the Citrix downloads page. Known Issues: If you change your Sync location from the Preferences UI, the Favorites link in Explorer will not be created until you exit and restart Sync. This applies to Windows 8.1 and older. When other applications that utilize icon overlays are installed before ShareFile Sync, the ShareFile Sync icons may not be displayed. This is commonly seen when Microsoft Office Groove is installed. This is a Microsoft Windows limitation, in order to work around this issue, uninstall other applications that utilize icon overlays. A path name that exceeds 246 characters is not synced. This is a limitation in Microsoft Windows. The work around is to shorten the path name by renaming its folders or in the case of shared folders, by only selecting specific shared folders for synchronization instead of the root of the shared folder.

3 Limitations: It may take up to 20 minutes before Check In / Check Out context menu options appear after the feature has been enabled for your account. ShareFile Sync includes a new.admx template to manage group policy. The template name has changed from the previous version. To manage ShareFile Sync via group policy the old ShareFileOn-demand.admx must be removed from c:\windows\policydefinitions on the machine group policy is managed. If you do not remove the old policy definitions the Group Policy Editor will open with an error message. Syncing to the root of a drive is currently not supported. If you have a previously installed version of Sync that is syncing files & folders to the root of a drive, then you are advised to change the sync location prior to upgrading to the latest version of ShareFile Sync.
