General
Serve files to other devices (checked by default)
Based on this setting, GoodSync will act on this computer either as a server or a client.
If checked, GoodSync installed on this computer can accept incoming requests, i.e., it will act as a Server. Data located on the computer may be accessed through GoodSync Connect from other devices with GoodSync installed.
If unchecked, GoodSync installed on this computer can make outgoing requests only and cannot accept incoming requests, i.e., it will act as a Client.
Enable server Web UI on port 11000 (checked by default)
If checked, enable the local GoodSync Server UI (server management console). It can be accessed by opening the URL http://localhost:11000 in the web browser.
If unchecked, the Web UI will be disabled while the GoodSync Server will continue running.
Click the "Server Advanced Options" button to open the GoodSync Server Web UI in the default web browser.
Server Logs
Level of log detail (Actions by default)
Set the level of detail for the server logs.
Possible levels: 0 – Critical, 1 – Errors, 2 – Actions, 3 – Details, 4 – Transaction, 5 – Debug.
Retain logs for this many days (15 by default)
Keep the server logs for this many days. Delete older server log files.
Store logs in folder (empty by default)
Allows to specify a custom folder to store the server logs. If empty, store logs in the folder, specified in the server settings file ("C:/ProgramData/GoodSync/server" is the default for Windows, and "/Library/Application Support/GoodSync/server" is the default for Mac).
