+ | 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. | ||
