Overview
The Locations page is where you will select the source connection and destination connection to use for the job. The source defines the current location of the content you wish to transfer; the destination defines the location where you would like to move your content.
Source and Destination Connection
You select the connections by clicking Edit in the Source connection or Destination connection field. This will open the corresponding Connection modal where you can scroll through the list of available connections. Note that not all connections will display in the list since SkySync filters the list to show only connections applicable to the selected Job Type. The list initially only shows the first 50 connections. If you reach the end of the list but don't see the connection you want to use, click Load more to load additional connections.
You can also click Search and use the Search box to find a specific connection. Type the name of the connection or account associated with the connection and press ENTER. The list will display only connections that match your search criteria.
Click on the connection you want to select and click Use this connection. The selected connection will fill in the corresponding connection field.
Additional Location Options
Once you select the connection, additional fields will display on the screen. These fields vary based on the Job Type selected. Refer to the following sections for specific details about the fields available for each Job Type.
