||| If your web browser doesn't offer to log you into the desired account, go back to the Nextcloud app, click **Copy Link**, and paste the link into a browser in private mode.

Back in the app, we can see that the new account is logged in.

# Creating a sync.

Now that the new account is logged in, you can create a sync.

Open the Nextcloud app, select the new user (their name should appear at the top), and then go to **Settings**.

A window will open; be sure to select the account on the left, then choose one of the two synchronization types, which are described in detail below.

# Synchronizing virtual files.

When virtual file synchronization is enabled, the data on the drive can be accessed from the Finder via the **Locations** menu.

When multiple accounts are logged into the app, their names appear next to each synchronization folder.

# Standard file synchronization.

The other option, **Add Folder Sync Connection**, lets you select an existing local folder on your Mac to sync with your drive.

Click the button to add a sync.

For this example, we’ll select a folder on the desktop named **Data**. Then click **Open**.

Click **Next**.

![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/7/1/8/1/7181a953295a4800/image_12fc4lh.png)

Select the location on the drive where the local folder will be synced. This can be an existing folder or a new one.

For this example, we’ll create a new one using the **Create folder** button.

![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/7/1/8/1/7181a953295a4800/image_lyqkaa.png)

We name it the same as the local one: **Data**. Click **OK**.

![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/7/1/8/1/7181a953295a4800/image_187wq36.png)

The new folder is selected; click **Next**.

![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/7/1/8/1/7181a953295a4800/image_1gy36c.png)

Since this is a new folder on the drive, there are no subfolders inside it that can be excluded from synchronization. If there were, they would appear here.

Click **Add Sync Connection**.

The sync has been successfully created.
