Hello

I would like to make all my DropBox files available locally and I have requested it to smartsync.

 

What happens when PC enters in sleep mode ?  

  • Is sync continues or sync modify the behaviour of sleep mode ?
  • Shall I modify the configuration of my PC to stop entering in sleep mode except display ?

Thank you.

No application can run while a computer is asleep, including Dropbox. If your computer enters sleep mode, syncing will be suspended until the computer wakes up again.

Clear enough, many thanks. 

I will activate the anti-sleep application until sync is completed.
