Known Issues and Limitations |
Limitations
- Cannot be configured to a network drive
- Cannot set the ShareFile folder as a network drive
- Cannot map a folder within the ShareFile folder
- Cannot be installed on more than one Windows user profile at a time
- If you cannot save an Excel file - its file path may be too long. Click here for more info.
Known Issues
File Path Limitations | A path name that exceeds 250 characters may not be synced, due to Microsoft File Path limitations. Please shorten the path name by renaming its folders or, in the case of Shared Folders, select the specific shared folders for synchronization instead of the root of the shared folder. For users on Windows 10, please see the long file path support section to enable long file path support with ShareFile Windows Sync. |
Overlay Icons Missing | When other applications that utilize icon overlays are installed before ShareFile Sync, the ShareFile sync icons may not be displayed. This is commonly seen when Microsoft Office Groove is installed. This is a Microsoft Windows limitation. Please uninstall other applications that utilize icon overlays or adjust your registry settings appropriately. |
Syncing large amount of files | Users with more than 250,000 files in the Personal Folders section of their account may experience issues with the ShareFile Sync for Windows tool. |
Broken Windows Shortcuts | When upgrading to Sync for Windows version 3.12 or later, users utilizing customized Windows Shortcuts (right-click, create shortcut) may experience issues with broken or invalid shortcut links. This is due to changes to the ShareFile folder directory (My Files & Folders has become Personal Folders). To repair your shortcut, right-click the shortcut link/icon and select Properties. In the Target field, replace 'My Files & Folders' with Personal Folders, and click OK. |
Explorer Integration - ShareFile Drive may fail to mount | Please attempt to install latest windows updates. Specifically see update 2999226 listed here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2999226/update-for-universal-c-runtime-in-windows |

User and Account Requirements
To use the sync tool:
- You must be an Employee User on a ShareFile account.
- You must have Upload and Download permissions on the folder you are syncing to.
- In order to avoid problems related to duplicate files, ShareFile asks that Sync only be used on accounts with File Versioning enabled.
- ShareFile highly recommends that users have the Delete permission on folders that are being synced to. Otherwise, deleting to your local Recycle Bin will not impact file storage on the account.
Install Sync for Windows
ShareFile Sync for Windows can be downloaded from the Apps section of your ShareFile account. Download and run the installation file.
If your email is associated with more than one ShareFile account, you will be prompted to select the account you wish to link from a list.
The default sync location is C:UsersusernameShareFile. This cannot be changed.
This tool can only sync to a fixed local drive. You will not be able to sync a network or removable drive.
Next, you may select folders you would like to sync. Use the Folder Tree to check the folders you wish to sync, then click the Next button.
Note: When selecting folders to sync, a checkmark indicates the folder and its contents will be synced, including subfolders. A filled-in square indicates that only specific subfolders will be sync. These subfolders will appear as if they are on the same level as the parent folder, since you have not synced the rest of that parent folder's contents.
Selective Sync
To manage which folders from your ShareFile account you wish to sync after installation is complete, right-click the ShareFile Sync icon in your taskbar and click Preferences in the options menu.
Under the Synced Folders tab, use the checkboxes to designate which folders to sync. Click Apply to save your changes.
Note: Removing a folder from your list of synced items will move that content to your computer's Recycle Bin.

Expiration Policy
To modify the default Expiration Policy for files sent with the Windows context menu, right-click the ShareFile Sync icon in your taskbar and click Preferences in the options menu.

Roaming Profiles
When a folder that is synchronized by ShareFile Sync is also synced to a Windows roaming profile, the two sync operations can cause conflicts. For this reason, it is recommended that the ShareFile folder not be synchronized to a user’s roaming profile.
For more information on ShareFile Sync and Roaming Profiles, please refer to this article.
Configure a Proxy Server
By default, proxy settings configured for Internet Explorer are used for ShareFile app releases. If needed, you can configure the sync tool to work with your proxy setup. Right-click the ShareFile Sync icon in your taskbar and click Preferences in the options menu. Under Settings, click Configure Proxy.
- The proxy configuration can be found at HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareCitrixShareFileProxyConfig.
- If using a 32-bit app on a 64-bit OS, proxy configuration can be found at HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareWow6432NodeCitrixShareFileProxyConfig.
- Local machine location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareCitrixShareFileProxyConfg
HKCU settings take precedence over HKLM settings.
Dsn schematic viewer. Notes:
- If a registry key is not present, the proxy configuration uses the default value. By default, only the UseIESettings key is enabled.
- For keys with a type of REG_DWORD, the value “0” disables the setting and the value “1” enables the setting.
- You do not need to create keys with a type of REG_MULTI_SZ if there are no values for them.
- The ProxyUser and ProxyPwd settings are protected by encryption. You must set them from the Configure Proxy dialog box per user.

- Once the ADMX and ADML files have been appropriately placed, the policy options listed above will populate in the Group Policy Editor under User Configuration - Administrative Templates - ShareFile - Enterprise Sync.
- Once the above entries have been updated in the Group Policy Editor, the corresponding registry keys will be created under HKCUSoftwarePoliciesCitrixShareFileEnterpriseSync

Customizing sync access
Support for selective enablement of the sync tool allows you to limit access to specified users, typically those with managed or corporate devices. This setting may be configured through the Group Policy Templates provided in the previous section of this article. To use this feature with a ShareFile account that has the sync tool access set to Disabled, you must specify a custom key that is generated by your ShareFile administrator. Only Enterprise accounts will be able to utilize the Generate Key option. ShareFile administrators can set this key by clicking Admin in the top navigation bar of their ShareFile account and navigating to the Power Tools menu.
Under Sync, administrators can select Disabled to enter a custom 256-bit key.
ShareFile recommends applying this Key via the Group Policy Editor.
To enter this key manually, without the use of the templates:
- At HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwarePoliciesCitrixShareFileEnterpriseSync, edit or create the entry 'CustomSharedKey' (REG_SZ type)
- Double-click the entry. Set the value to the key ID generated in the web app.
