Begin with a small test folder so you can confirm synchronization behavior before connecting a large library.
Before you start
Use the access and features actually assigned to your account. Keep a rollback or recovery route before changing existing service settings.
Steps
- Install the supported client from the official product source.
- Connect to the exact approved Cloud URL through the normal browser authorization flow.
- Select a small local folder and wait for synchronization to complete.
- Edit a test file, verify the web copy and confirm offline-file behavior before expanding the selection.
Verify the result
Changes reach the intended account and local storage behavior matches your needs. Sync can propagate mistakes, so retain a separate backup.
