==Overview==
The '''SmartSync''' feature is an extension of [[SmartSimple]], which lets [[SmartSimple]] [[User|users]] keep a local set of file folders synchronized with a set of [[Smart Folder|SmartFolders]].
* Schedule synchronization at regular intervals.
* Force synchronization on demand.
'''SmartSync''' is a program that you must install on the local computer.
The '''SmartSync''' feature functions with Microsoft Windows versions 98, 2000, and XP. It will not work with any other operating system.
==Installing SmartSync==
Download the latest copy of the '''SmartSync''' from your copy of [[SmartSimple]]. Use the '''Help''', '''Downloads''' [[Menu|menu]] to access this [[Application|application]].
If the '''Download''' or '''Help''' [[Menu|menu]] items are not available, you should contact your [[System Administrator|system administrator]].
==Launching SmartSync==
1. Use the '''Start''', '''Programs''' [[Menu|menu]] to launch '''SmartSync'''.

1. Click the '''Settings''' button.
