Enable SugarSync to Sync External USB and Network Drives

• Create a folder in local hard disk drive (e.g. FolderSync) which to be linked to the USB drive or network drive.
• In SugarSync client program (previously known as SugarSync Manager), add the local folder as a folder to sync to the cloud.
• After the new local folder is added and synced to the cloud, exit from the SugarSync client program by right click on SugarSync icon in the notification area / system tray, and choose Exit.
• Delete new local folder (e.g. FolderSync) which is now synced with SugarSync.
• Open a Command Prompt window, and change directory to the parent directory of which the local folder synced to SugarSync was previously located by using the ‘cd’ command.
• For example, if the ‘FolderSync’ is created in Documents folder, which is located under ‘\Users\User Name\Documents\’, then use the following command:

CD C:\Users\User Name\Documents

Replace ‘User Name’ with that actual name in the path.

• Use the ‘mklink’ command with the following syntax to create a Junction Point symbolic link from the local folder to folder in USB drive or remote location that wants to be synced with SugarSync:

MKLINK /J Link Target<

For example:

mklink /J FolderSync Z:\FolderSync

Of course, replace the name of the folders and paths with the actual names you’re using.
