Please use the latest ShareFile On- Demand Sync version that is available from the Citrix downloads page. Known Issues: 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.
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.
