Depending on the connectors selected Author Preservation can be selected as an Advanced Option. This allows you SkySync preserve the author/creator of files that are transferred between two connectors.
While SkySync will automatically attempt to map users based on various rules, such as name and actual ID, it is also possible to map specific users to each other. This is useful when a user no longer exists or when a users name is different from one platform to the next.
