You can upload new files on Asite via aSync app in a project folder only if that particular project folder is enabled for synchronization in your aSync app. Click here for detailed help on how to enable synchronization on a project folder in your aSync app.

The folders enabled for synchronizing will appear separately in your local device storage at below path in the same structure as in your Asite project:

'C' drive / Users / <user_name> / aSync / <project_name>

Anyone having 'Publish' or above permission on the Asite project folder selected for upload. Click here for detailed help on how to check folder permissions on Asite. If you don't have required folder permissions, contact your project administrator on Asite.

To publish new files via aSync, you need to go to aSync project folder path in your local device storage and place a copy of the new file that you need to publish in related project folder.

If your aSync preference is set to 'Automatic Sync records' and the selected project folder is enabled for simple upload, any new files identified in the related local folder will be synchronized automatically to Asite Cloud. This means that you can then start accessing those files directly on Asite Cloud. Please note that any files automatically synchronized by aSync won't appear under 'Recent Uploads' tab in aSync window.
