Install File Server Sync App
Create a UNIVERGE BLUE® SHARE user for File Server Sync. UNIVERGE BLUE® SHARE File Server sync requires a UNIVERGE BLUE® SHARE user account to authenticate to the cloud and sync/backup File Server content. All the content selected to sync to the cloud will be synced to this user account. Admins can share content from this account with end-users using Admin File Management or by simply logging into the UNIVERGE BLUE® SHARE web-app using this user account.
UNIVERGE BLUE® SHARE for File Servers can be enabled on the Control Panel > Services > UNIVERGE BLUE® SHARE > File Server Sync page. Click the Enable File Server Sync button:
Once File Server Sync is enabled, you can download the distributive file by clicking the Download button on the File Server Sync page. You can also disable the service:
The app has a Windows Service and a UI component. Windows service runs persistently across log-offs, ensuring that mapped folders are in constant sync with UNIVERGE BLUE® SHARE. It supports auto-update. All subsequent versions will be automatically deployed to your file servers, retaining all existing settings and mappings.

Quick Tips:
- Create an AD user for each end-user using the Admin Control Panel. Each user should be enabled for UNIVERGE BLUE® SHARE.
- Configure the External Sharing policy for each end-user in the Admin Control Panel.
- Log on to the Web App using the user account used for File Server sync
- Share appropriate folders with individual users and groups.
- Either let users accept shares themselves or accept them on their behalf using Admin File Management. If you are accepting folders on behalf of end-users, you can choose whether shared folder content should be synced to the desktop or only available via Web and Mobile apps.
- Follow Desktop/Mobile app deployment best practices outlined in the Admin Guide.
- If File Servers Sync loses connection to the back end for longer than 4 hours, we may send a notification to the Admin. An email will be sent to the same address where all UNIVERGE BLUE® SHARE email notifications are sent. Contact Support to enable this feature.
