 ### Scheduled
- * **Periodically** – To update the metadata for an entire account (provider), a “Provider Re-sync” or "Folder refresh" can be initiated.  Running as a background task the File Fabric re-syncs metadata for ALL files/folders within the provider or just for the selected folder.  Periodic re-syncs can be scheduled to run (daily, weekly, etc.)  via the Dashboard.

 ### On Provider Event
-Many providers are able to create events on object or file creation or deletion. These can be sent and processed by the File Fabric. This is the approach [[jibe|Jibe]] uses.

 ===== Improving Synchronization Speed =====
-When the Enterprise File Fabric initially connects to your storage platform, it performs a full provider synchronization. In this process, the File Fabric builds a metadata model for your storage platform, recording information such as the files and folders that are there. At this stage, the File Fabric does not download or read any of the files, instead, it simply records the metatdata of the files.

-Out of the box, the File Fabric's synchronization process will be confined to a single system process. The performance speed of the initial synchronization process is configurable which will help you reduce the time it takes for initial synchronization.
