Some replication scenarios require that changes made to either of two folders be replicated to the other. A sync direction of "two-way" should normally be selected in these situations. Either folder in these relationships may be configured as Folder A, but it is usually more intuitive to replicate content if the "more populated" of the two folders is selected as Folder A.

Two-Way, Exact Replica

To ensure that file and folder additions, updates, deletions and renames are replicated between two folders, use the "sync deletes" sync delete option.

Two-Way, Preserve Copy If Original Is Deleted

If you want content and folders replicated between folders to remain on the "copied to" folder after the original files and/or folders have been deleted from the "copied from" folder, use the "ignore deletes" sync delete option.
