File and Folder Attributes

Here you will get an overview of all file and folder attributes supported by AllSync:

Attribute	Description
Archive (A)	This file is marked to be included in incremental backup operation. Windows sets this attribute whenever the file is modified, and backup software should clear it when processing the file during incremental backup.
Compressed (C)	The file is compressed.
Directory (D)	The file is a directory.
Encrypted (E)	The file or directory is encrypted. For a file, this means that all data in the file is encrypted. For a directory, this means that encryption is the default for newly created files and directories.
Hidden (H)	The file is hidden, and thus is not included in an ordinary directory listing.
Normal (N)	The file is a standard file that has no special attributes. This attribute is valid only if it is used alone.
Not Content-Indexed (I)	The file will not be indexed by the operating system's content indexing service.
Offline (O)	The file is offline. The data of the file is not immediately available.
Read-Only (R)	The file is read-only.
Reparse Point (L)	The file contains a reparse point, which is a block of user-defined data associated with a file or a directory.
Sparse File (P)	The file is a sparse file.
System (S)	The file is a system file. That is, the file is part of the operating system or is used exclusively by the operating system.
Temporary (T)	The file is temporary. A temporary file contains data that is needed while an application is executing but is not needed after the application is finished.
Virtual (V)	This attribute is reserved for system use.
