Setting storage card properties

The Sync & Go Properties dialog box enables you to configure how Sync & Go interacts with the selected storage card, including the synchronization frequency, the percentage of storage card space that Sync & Go content can use, and the Sync & Go behavior when you first connect the storage card to your computer. You can change these settings even if the storage card is not connected to your computer; Sync & Go updates the storage card the next time synchronization occurs.

The About tab on the Properties dialog box also provides summary information for the selected card, including the date and time of the last synchronization and the synchronization status.
