Synchronize Public Folders

With Sync2, you can synchronize Exchange Public folders with other computers’ personal folders or with Google. In order to do that you need to make sure, that the permissions that are set for the folder you want to synchronize allow it.

Synchronization will be successful if the permission level allows you to modify the folder.

The table below shows for what Permission Levels synchronization is allowed:

You can check your Permission Level by right-clicking the folder ->Properties -> Summary.

Permission level is set to "Author" by default, when a new Public folder is created.

It allows you to modify the folder that can be synchronized, as well. Only the "Owner" of the folder can assign different Permission Levels, so if you need to change yours, contact the folder owner. Different Permission Levels can be assigned to different users.

        

*"Reviewer" Permission Level does not allow you to make changes to the folder. Synchronization will work only one way: from Outlook to Google.

IMPORTANT: As Public Folders are accessible to all users and the stored data is already synchronized, there’s no need to set up synchronization between them.  Direct synchronization of the same Public Folder(s) between computers is not recommended..

If you are not sure how to set up synchronization correctly, please consult your local administrator or contact our support.
