Sync via External Storage Device

Set up Microsoft Outlook synchronization between PCs via external storage device using these steps:

  1. "Do you have a Sync2 Synchronization ID?". Choose "I don't have a Sync2 Synchronization ID" and click "Next >".

  2. "Select Connection and Location Type". Choose "An external hard disk or USB flash drive" from the list of synchronization types and click "Next >".

  3. "Select External Memory Device Location". Choose the location by clicking the "Browse…" button and selecting a preferred location from the Browse for folder dialog. Click "Next >".

  4. "Synchronization Folder Confirmation". Sync2 will analyze the chosen location/address for existing synchronization data. If synchronization data is found, the wizard automatically suggests synchronizing that data with this computer. If no synchronization data is found, a new folder is suggested. Click "Next >", and proceed to step 6.
    If you want to choose the synchronization data folder manually check the "I want to choose the profile folder manually" checkbox and click "Next >".

  5. "Select Synchronization Folder". In this advanced step select the synchronization data profile from the list (if any), or choose to create a new profile. You can change the name of the profile here. Click "Next >".

  6. "General Settings Configured". The default Outlook folders (Calendar, Contacts, Inbox, Journal, Notes, Sent Items, Tasks) are suggested with some pre-defined synchronization filters. Click "Finish" and proceed to step 9.
    Check the "Configure advanced synchronization settings" checkbox if you need to choose a folder for synchronization data to be stored, select custom Outlook folders and/or adjust synchronization filters for each folder. Click "Next >".

  7. "Folders and Synchronization Filters". Select the folders you want to synchronize, and edit synchronization filters for each folder. Click "Next >".

  8. Click "Finish" in the "Congratulations" step to save the synchronization settings and start synchronization.

  9. A dialog with instructions on how to configure synchronization on other computer(s) will appear. If Synchronization ID is provided, write it down, print it or send it via e-mail with the help of the action buttons in this dialog. This Synchronization ID may be used on other computers to simplify the synchronization configuration there.
