Start syncing
Before you can sync, you must first set up a sync partnership between your computer and a mobile device, folder on a network server, or program that is compatible with Sync Center. For more information, see How to keep your information in sync.
When you set up a sync partnership, you sometimes have the option of setting a sync schedule, which enables Sync Center to automatically sync your files at the times you choose. This is convenient, but occasionally you might also want to manually sync your files right away. Sync Center makes it easy to do this.
