Disclaimer
- We have confirmed the ability of GoodSync 10 to connect with InfiniCLOUD and back up files: One Way Sync, but this does not amount to a full guarantee of software's functionality.
- Synchronization of Jobs may delete or overwrite files on your device and InfiniCLOUD, so unintended deletion or overwriting of data may occur depending on the settings. Be sure to save a copy of your InfiniCLOUD data in a separate location before trying this application.
- If your Apps Password is reissued, it is necessary to reconfigure the password for the connected account.
- Please direct all inquiries regarding GoodSync to the software vendor.
- InfiniCLOUD does not impose any restrictions on data uploads, but depending on your environment, you may have difficulty uploading large files.
