Updated over 7 months ago

Procedure

As an administrator, you can download a user's backed-up data on your device, provided the user's privacy settings allows you.

For download, you can use Search to easily find particular files and then download the selected files.


❗ Important

When an administrator or a user downloads data, inSync automatically detects the operating system and downloads the data in the appropriate archive format. On Mac OS, now the data is automatically downloaded in the .tar.gz or .tar archive format, and on the Windows OS, the data is downloaded in the .zip archive format.



πŸ“ Note
​On Windows OS, if the compressed zip file size is too large, you may experience error unzipping the file using Windows Explorer. In such scenarios, you may choose another utility to unzip such large data sets.
