Valid for HiDrive.
In addition to a system-side integration with a protocol, e.g. WebDAV, HiDrive can also be synchronized with your Apple Mac via the HiDrive app. This article shows you how to do this.
Note
You can find out how to set up synchronization between the HiDrive app and your Windows PC in the article "Synchronizing Windows PC with HiDrive".
Setting up macOS synchronization
- Click on the HiDrive icon in the top menu bar of your Mac. A context menu opens.
- Click on Settings > Tab: Synchronization.
- Click on the Select folder to synchronize button. All contents of the HiDrive folder on your Mac are displayed.
- Optional: Deactivate the checkbox in front of a folder to exclude it and its contents from synchronization.
To add other folders or files from your Mac, move them to your HiDrive folder.
Alternative synchronization options
In addition to direct integration via the HiDrive app, you can also use the following protocols:
- Connect via CIFS/SMB (network drive) under Windows, Mac OS, Linux (Ubuntu) or AVM FRITZ!Box
- Connect via rsync
- Connect via WebDAV (Windows 10)
- Connect via WebDAV (Apple Mac)
Please note that some protocols are only available in certain HiDrive contract and plan types. You can find out how to add missing protocols in the Help Center Article "Additional HiDrive Properties and Protocols".
