This change applies to TrueSync Version 6.3.0 and later versions.

Getting started with TrueSync Beta  

1. Install the beta version of WorkDrive TrueSync for Windows.
2. Sign in to your WorkDrive account.
3. Choose where you want to create your WorkDrive sync folder.
   
   
   

All your WorkDrive files and folders will appear in the sync folder. Files are downloaded automatically when you open them, helping you save local storage space
            
            

Upgrade from an earlier version  

• Your existing WorkDrive files and folders will be moved to the new sync experience.
• Files that were previously available offline will remain available offline.
• The migration runs in the background, allowing you to continue using your computer.
• You can track migration and sync progress from the WorkDrive icon in the system tray.
• Migration time depends on the total number of files and folders in your WorkDrive account. Your complete WorkDrive content will be available, and syncing will begin, only after the migration is completed.

• If your cache is on the C: drive, the sync folder will be created at C:\Users\<username>\WorkDrive-<Team Name>.
• If your cache is on another drive, such as D:, the sync folder will be created at D:\WorkDrive-<Team Name>.

            

Changes on upgradation

1. Access WorkDrive files from a Sync Folder  
   WorkDrive content is now available through a dedicated sync folder in File Explorer instead of a virtual drive.
   
   
2. Updated file status indicators  
   Sync status icons have been updated to align with native Windows cloud file indicators, and File Explorer displays file availability states such as Online-only, Locally available, and Always keep on this device.
   
   
3. Access files without running TrueSync
   Files that are available locally can be opened and modified even when the TrueSync application is not running.
4. Drag-and-drop behavior
   Previously, dragging files between your local folders and the TrueSync virtual drive usually created a copy.Now, since WorkDrive files are stored in a sync folder on your existing drive, Windows follows its default drag-and-drop behavior. Files dragged between locations on the same drive are typically moved, while files dragged between different drives are typically copied.
   
   
5. Quick access
   If you previously pinned WorkDrive folders to the File Explorer navigation pane, you may need to pin them again after upgrading.
   
   
6. Storage information  
   The Size and Size on disk values in the file Properties window now accurately reflect the actual file or folder size and the disk space it occupies.
   
   
   

Notes  

• Files marked as Always keep on this device remain available offline.
• The WorkDrive sync folder must be located on an NTFS-formatted drive.
• Some applications may temporarily download file content when accessing cloud files.
• The WorkDrive sync folder cannot be moved to a network drive.
• When the account is disconnected, only the files and folders that were available locally will remain in the Sync Folder.
