5.4 Sync creation
Before you begin a new sync creation, please choose which computers and/or storage devices will
take part in your new sync. Then make sure that the following conditions are met:

 If you connect your computers through a local area network, make sure that local connection is
established.

Depending on which computers and/or storage devices will be involved in your new sync, select one
of the following sync types:

 Sync between two or more computers (p. 109).
 Sync between two local folders and folders on other computers (p. 116) (combination of the first
two types).
