TerraMaster TerraSync Update: New File Sharing and On-Demand Sync for Mac Enable More Efficient File Collaboration

October 20 — TerraMaster today announced a major update to TerraSync, introducing an all-in-one file-sharing feature and on-demand sync for the Mac version of TNAS PC. This update makes it easier for home users, content creators, and business teams to share files while reducing the amount of local storage occupied by large file libraries on Mac computers.

All-in-One File Sharing for Simplified Collaboration

TerraSync's new file-sharing feature allows users to share files directly from My Files or Team Folders, reducing the need for repeated downloads and file transfers.

Users can share files directly with specific users or groups, assigning permissions such as preview, view, or manage as needed. They can also grant access through two types of links: internal sharing links accessible only over the local network, and external sharing links created through TNAS.online. External sharing also supports configurable access permissions, passwords, and expiration dates, making file delivery and cross-team collaboration more secure and flexible.

TerraSync also supports collaborative editing of mainstream Office document formats through the OnlyOffice online office suite, with version history to track changes and restore previous versions. This feature requires prior installation of the corresponding suite from the NAS Application Center.

On-Demand Sync for Mac Frees Up Local Storage

With limited SSD capacity and growing collections of photos, videos, and project files, Mac users often struggle to keep large file libraries stored locally. The new on-demand sync feature removes the need to download an entire file library to a computer.

Once enabled, users can browse remote file directories locally and download files only when needed. Cached files can be cleared manually after use, and the system can also automatically reclaim cached storage when local storage space is running low. The feature works with either two-way sync or one-way download mode, helping users maintain convenient file access while managing local storage more efficiently.

Sync, Backup, and Version Management in One Solution

TerraSync supports file synchronization across Windows, Mac, and Linux, with two-way sync, one-way upload, and one-way download modes, as well as automatic, manual, and scheduled backups. File version management supports up to 32 versions, with customizable cleanup rules.

For data security, TerraSync continues to provide SSL-encrypted data transmission, personal and team folder permissions, and activity logs to help users better manage and protect their data.

By bringing together file synchronization, backup, sharing, and version management, TerraSync continues to expand the file management capabilities of TerraMaster NAS, delivering a more flexible cross-device collaboration experience for individuals, creators, and business teams.
