Chorus Sync uses the idea of Folder Shares to make the same files and folders available to different users. If you have not used Folder Shares before, please see: C7.2 Sharing a folder.
The syncer uses normal folder permissions to decide what can and can't be synced. To sync a file down to your desktop you need the download permission.
To add a file to the folder you need the upload/add permission.
To sync changes back up you need upload and edit permissions.
Common Scenarios
Files and folders that only you can see and edit
Using Chorus Sync with files and folders that someone shared with you in Chorus
Making a shared folder that multiple users can edit
Making a shared folder that is read-only for some users
If two people edit the same time, it will result in two revisions with different content in them. There is no way for Chorus to merge files, especially in view of the many complex and proprietary file formats that might be involved, so we have to leave it up to you and your team member to fix it.
We recommend you download each revision and manually merge the two changes. If one of the change was minor, it could be re-done.
