Synchronizing Citrix ShareFile with PowerShell

Wed, 28 Jan 2015 11:39:17 +0000

The Citrix ShareFile Sync application is quite limited in functionality, one of those limitations is that you can only synchronize to a single (one) local folder.

As Helge Klein wrote in his excellent article "Configuring Citrix ShareFile Sync from PowerShell" this is simply a GUI restriction and not a restriction in the actual ShareFile sync engine.

Helge describes that you can easily do this in PowerShell with the following example:

Add-SyncJob example powershell Download

Add-SyncJob -ApplicationId 1 -ApplicationName "PowerShell" -Account helgeklein.sharefile.com
-RemoteFolderName "foc86c19-d904-434a-9d67-xxxxxxxxxxxx" -LocalFolderPath "D:\Daten\Sync to ShareFile"
-AuthType 4 -UserName xxxxxx@helgeklein.com -SyncDirection 2 -Password "MY SHAREFILE PASSWORD"

While the command was accepted, nothing was synchronized.
