Logon to network drive

If the task is NOT started as a windows service and the network drive is already mounted as a local drive, this setting is NOT necessary.

If the folder is specified by "\\server\Share\folder" format, logon to the server may be required. Especially when the task is started as a windows service and there is no user logged on, the service needs to impersonate a local user and logon to the network drive.

If logon setting is not set, in Log View Window, you may meet this error: "Drive is not ready".

"Logon to network drive" group

Specify the user name and password to logon to the network drive.

Or specify "@" in the User Name to use current user's security context to logon to the network.

If the computer is in a domain environment, specify "@" to use the domain user to logon the network resource.

"Impersonate user when run as a windows service" group

When the task is started as a windows service, the service need to impersonate a local account to access the network resource.

Please input a local user name and password. To support a domain account, the user name can be specified in UPN format like following:

user@DNS_domain_name 

Or you can leave the impersonate settings be empty, only if:

1. To use LocalSystem account, please specify user@RemoteServer in User Name of above"Logon to network drive" group, and leave the settings here be empty.

2. If you have setup the logon account for the "BestSync Service" in the Service Manager of Windows Control Panel, you can leave the settings here be empty.
