-| bool mirror | When set to ''true'', synchronizes in [[task_synchronize_full#synchronization_mode|mirror mode]] (synchronizes also older files). Cannot be used for ''SynchronizationMode.Both''. Defaults to ''false''. | +| bool ==mirror== | When set to ''true'', synchronizes in [[task_synchronize_full#mode|mirror mode]] (synchronizes also older files). Cannot be used for ''SynchronizationMode.Both''. Defaults to ''false''. | 
-| SynchronizationCriteria criteria | [[ui_synchronize#comparison_criteria|Comparison criteria]].

The parameter is a bit field of any of ''SynchronizationCriteria.Time'' (default), ''SynchronizationCriteria.Size'' and &#039;'SynchronizationCriteria.Checksum''. ''SynchronizationCriteria.None'' can be used as an alias to empty bit field. For backward compatibility, ''SynchronizationCriteria.Either'' can be used as an alias to ''Time %%|%% Size''. For ''SynchronizationMode.Both'', ''SynchronizationCriteria.Time'' can be used only. | 
-| [[library_transferoptions|TransferOptions]] options | Transfer options. Defaults to ''null'', what is equivalent to ''new TransferOptions()''. |+| [[library_transferoptions|TransferOptions]] ==options== | Transfer options. Defaults to ''null'', what is equivalent to ''new TransferOptions()''. |

-===== Remarks =====+===== [[remarks]] Remarks =====
Event ''[[library_session_filetransferred|Session.FileTransferred]]'' is raised for every uploaded or downloaded file. Event ''[[library_session_filetransferred|Session.FileTransferred]]'' is raised for every uploaded or downloaded file.
 +
 +To further customize the synchronization, use instead a combination of [[library_session_comparedirectories|''Session.CompareDirectories'']] and [[library_comparisondifference_resolve|''ComparisonDifference.Resolve'']]. This allows synchronizing only selected differences, changing synchronization order or customizing error handling.
