Sync on Demand allows devices storing low-quality Thumbnails to temporarily download and show a higher resolution Optimized Image without permanently taking up storage space on their device. This is useful when you choose to view an image that only has a Thumbnail available locally.
For example, you may browse to a low-quality image Thumbnail on your tablet. However, a computer with higher-quality images is connected. In this case, the higher-quality file will automatically be sent to the iPad for viewing. Once done, it is removed from the iPad cache when you navigate to a new photo.
Sync on Demand is turned ON by default. You can disable or re-enable it at any time.
- Click or tap the ellipsis icon
in the Top App Bar to access the More menu and choose Settings.
- Select Sync, then toggle the Sync on Demand option to the OFF or ON position as needed.
