QNAP Qsync
What is QNAP Qsync? (from QNAP Systems)
Qsync is a useful tool to synchronize files in multiple computers. It creates a specific “Qsync folder” in your devices that you can simply drop files in, and synchronizes the files to all your devices linked to the Turbo NAS.
Overview
QNAP Qsync is a software program developed by QNAP Systems. The most common release is 1.3.3.1211, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC. The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. When installed, it will add a context menu handler to the Windows shell in order to provide quick access to the program. The primary executable is named qsync.exe. The setup package generally installs about 9 files. Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows 10. While about 19% of users of QNAP Qsync come from the United States, it is also popular in Germany and Netherlands.
