Preferences

Enable Alerts

When checked, alerts display on top of the desktop application icon (

). Alerts give you information about the desktop application, such as when the synchronization status of a file changes, file conflicts occur, or a desktop application upgrade is available.

Start automatically on login

When checked, the desktop application automatically starts whenever you log in to your computer.

Allowing syncing of locked files

When checked, the desktop application automatically attempts to synchronize any locked files it detects in your HCP Anywhere folder. Files are locked by other programs or Windows itself. For example, a file can become locked if the file is open in another program.

Cache size limit

You set the cache size here. Think of this on-disk cache as a temporary storage space for remote files. A file ends up in the cache if:

It is a remote file and opened. Since a file can only be opened if it is downloaded to your computer, the file is downloaded and then saved in the cache.
It was saved locally and then made remote. Since the file was local (in other words, already downloaded to your computer), it is moved to the cache instead of being made remote immediately.

Once full, the cache starts ejecting files. These files become remote. If your company set a cache size for you, you cannot adjust that cache size. For more information on local, remote, and cached files, see Saving files locally or keeping them remote.

Language

By default, the desktop application uses the display language from your computer. However, you can change the language in this field.
