Abstract
A sync tool reorganizes or synchronizes a primary path and a secondary path. The sync tool receives the primary path and the secondary path from the user and determines differences between (a) primary folders and primary files at the primary path and (b) secondary folders and secondary files at the secondary path. The sync tool generates a set of actions based on the differences to reorganize or synchronize the primary path and the secondary path. Prior to reorganizing or synchronizing, the sync tool interacts with the user to edit the set of actions and then implement the set of actions to reorganize and/or synchronize the primary path and the secondary path.
Claims7
A computer implemented method for secure file synchronization, comprising:
- receiving a primary path from a user;
- receiving a secondary path from the user;
- determining differences between (a) primary folders and primary files at the primary path and (b) secondary folders and secondary files at the secondary path;
- generating a set of actions that synchronize folders and files in the primary path and the secondary path based on the differences;
- then
- generating an interactive dialog having:
- a selectable list of the set of actions;
- a delete selected button that deletes selected ones of the actions from the selectable list;
- and
- a sync button;
- interacting with the user via the interactive dialog to edit the set of actions;
- and
- implementing each action in the edited set of actions in response to selection of the sync button by the user.
