Sometimes, it may be required to synchronize specific file types or file categories according to user-specific needs and requirements. SyncBreeze Server provides an extensive set of file matching rules allowing one to sync files by the file type, category, size, name, extension, file attributes, location, user name, etc. In order to add one or more file matching rules to a file synchronization command, open the file synchronization command dialog, select the 'Rules' tab and press the 'Add Rule' button. On the 'Add Rule' dialog, select an appropriate rule type, enter all the required parameters and press the 'Add' button.

SyncBreeze Server provides the ability to add an unlimited number of file matching rules for each file synchronization command. During runtime, SyncBreeze Server will apply the specified rules to the processed files and synchronize files matching the rules. Files not matching the specified rules, will be just skipped from the file synchronization process.

In addition to positive file matching rules allowing one to specify which types of files to synchronize, SyncBreeze Server provides negative file matching rules capable of excluding specific types of files from the file synchronization process. For example, in order to exclude archive and backup files from the file synchronization process, add a file category rule and set the rule operator to 'Not Categorized As'.
