Background vault synchronization

Keeping your vaults up to date for offline access is crucial, as data can become outdated and offline caches may expire. This is where background vault synchronization helps by ensuring your offline data remains current. You can manually refresh your vaults using the sync icon, or have them automatically synced upon first load. With this feature, your offline caches are quickly synchronized, ensuring you're always prepared to work effectively without an internet connection.

Only available with SQL Server, Devolutions Server and Devolutions Hub data sources. For Devolutions Hub data source, this feature must be enabled via the website.
