Nota clasica.png Refresh indicates time period which OpenKM is looking for new updates from remote OpenKM server or send local changes. We suggest use middle or great refreshing time values, specially if are synchronizing middle or great size folders. Take advantage in these cases of manual checkout and commit feature to be respectuous with your OpenKM server.

Daemon

By default OpenKM Desktop Sync client daemon starts when application is executed. At menu System there're available two option to start or stop daemon.
