FAQ

How is Layer2 File Pal licensed?

After payment, we need to know (NETBIOS) name of the server where the product is installed. When we got the name, we send you an email with instructions and your license. If you have a subscription or trial license you can replace it with the new one. No need to uninstall or upgrade the tool. Activate the license file and you are done. All connections and settings remain.

How does the automatic sync work?

The automatic sync runs continuously in the background as a Windows service. You don't need to set up a sync interval or scheduling settings. After one of your connections is finished the sync of your next connection begins one minute later. If you have only one connection it will restart the sync of it.

Does the sync continue after a server reboot?

Yes. The synchronizer is implemented as a Windows service and runs in the background. The service is set to start automatically after a server reboot. Usually, the sync continues after a system crash and will finish successfully. We recommend checking the logs for errors or warnings.

Can I sync permissions and access rights?

No, we don't support syncing permission settings. Breaking the permission inheritance with a large number of files and folders can result in performance issues and slows down the sync. We do not change existing permissions. You can set permissions for folders or files in the source or destination system as needed.

Are there limitations to the number of files or folders?

You can sync as many files, folders and GB as you want. Layer2 File Pal has no restrictions. Keep in mind that the systems in your sync may have restrictions and the performance of a sync depends on the number of items and connection quality. We have performance tips in our "How-to-sync" articles (e.g. SharePoint). 

Is it possible to run code or perform other actions before or after a sync?

No - not yet. Please send us a short message via email if you are interested in this feature or another feature. Please add some information about what you want to do. This information helps us to understand your requirement and prioritize our backlog. 

Does Layer2 File Pal keep system date-time fields like modified?

Yes, but not yet for all systems. It works for Windows Server File System. We are currently implementing it for SharePoint and Teams. If you want a notification as soon as the feature is available, please write to [email protected]

Is there an upgrade path for existing Layer2 customers?

Yes, we offer discounts for all our customers - depending on the product and edition they have. Please contact [email protected] by email to get a discount code for our webshop and enter the code to your next order. 

How can I get technical support?

We offer free email support for all customers. You can reach us via [email protected] or our contact form. We usually respond within 24 hours but depending on the number of requests it could take a little bit longer from time to time.
Layer2 File Pal is successfully used by one of our customers to synchronize documents across Tenant. This works very straightforwardly and would only be possible with considerable effort without this tool.
Thomas Hildebrandt, Co-Founder addhucate GmbH & Co. KG
