Support for selective enablement of the sync tool allows you to limit access to specified users, typically those with managed or corporate devices. This feature is only available to Enterprise plans.
To use this feature with a ShareFile account that has the sync tool access set to Disabled, you must specify a custom key that is generated by your ShareFile administrator. ShareFile administrators can set this key by clicking Admin in the top navigation bar of their ShareFile account and then selecting Power Tools in the sidebar.

Under Sync, administrators can select Disabled to enter a custom 256-bit key.

On ShareFile Sync for Mac, this generated key must be added via Terminal.

To do so, run the following command, inserting the Generated Key where indicated:
