About Enterprise Cloud Sync

Cloud sync, as its name suggests, is simply moving your data from local infrastructure (a server or your personal computer) to the cloud, or from one cloud to another cloud. The Enterprise cloud synchronization is all about syncing files or folders stored at the business level.

To sync enterprise cloud storage, one of the topmost reasons might be protecting confidential business data. Besides, it is also an effective way to keep the data of two organizations or businesses updated.

Sync Enterprise Files between Local and Cloud

To finish enterprise cloud sync from personal computers to clouds, or vice versa, you can choose a desktop application that can be synced with a specific disk partition or cloud-based folder. To make it clear, here we will take the Microsoft OneDrive app as an example.

Part 1. Enterprise Cloud Sync from Local to Cloud

Download, install, and log into your Microsoft OneDrive account on your computer. If you are running Windows 10 operating system, you do not have to download and install Microsoft OneDrive since it has already been pre-installed on your computer. Its local folder location is C:\users\ username\OneDrive (Windows installs it on the C drive by default).

To sync from your local drive to OneDrive cloud storage, you can directly drag and drop target files or folders into the OneDrive local Folder in Windows File Explorer. After that, the Microsoft OneDrive tool will automatically synchronize them from local to the cloud.

Besides, you can turn to its "Backup" feature, which is designed to back up Desktop, Documents, and Pictures to the OneDrive folder.

Step 1. Click on the "OneDrive" icon in your system tray.

Step 2. Click the "Help & Settings" icon > "Settings", and select "Sync and backup" > "Manage back up" behind Back up important PC folders to OneDrive.

Step 3. Choose the local folders you would like to backup and sync to your OneDrive folder. Then select, "Save Changes".

When the selected data are backed up or synced to OneDrive, you can access them from anywhere in Documents, Desktop, or Pictures. Each time you change, add, or remove a file or folder; this application will automatically copy the changesinto OneDrive consistently.

Part 2. Business Cloud Sync from Cloud to Local

To make enterprise files in the OneDrive cloud available in the local partition as well, refer to the following steps:

Step 1. Open the "Settings" window of the OneDrive application.

Step 2. Go to the "Account" tab, and click the "Choose folders" section.

Step 3. Select the OneDrive folders in OneDrive that you want to use on your local computer and hit OK. These files will be available on demand. Unselected folders will be hidden from the File Explorer.
