Mounting volumes automatically
You may not wish to leave volumes mounted all of the time when they're only used by Synk. To allow unattended/scheduled running of scripts, Synk can automatically mount physically connected (but unmounted) hard drives, disk images, and many types of network volumes.
If Synk mounts a volume automatically, it will also unmount it at the end of the run.
To automatically mount volumes as needed by Synk:
- Define the folders you wish to use as base directories as you normally would
- If necessary, click the "Edit" button in the lower right of the base directory display to show the sequence of volumes used to locate the base directory
- Check "Automatically mount for run if not already mounted" on any volumes for which this setting is available. (Physically connected volumes will not show the setting; it is permanently enabled for this type of volume.)
- Provide any requested username/password information to authorize Synk to access the volumes
