= How it works =
Amahi Sync runs on your HDA and monitors files in certain shares that you enable for syncing. When new files are added or deleted to these shares or files change, they are automatically synced with Amahi's cloud storage.
Amahi Syncfiles can be accessed in two ways: * Public files can be accessed via URLs under amahi.me. For instance, for an HDA called 'cpg's storage back-end , here is implemented with [a sample url <code>http://awscpg.amazonamahi.comme/s3Public/Amahi-logo.png</ Amazon Web Service's S3 servicecode>* All files (including public files) can be accessed via a very easy to use your Amahi.org control panel, where you can copy the URL of public files to your clipboard with one click: [[File:Amahi-sync-sshot.png]] == Your own Files, Your own Subdomain == Each Amahi Sync account gets a free subdomain matching the nickname of your HDA under <code>amahi.me</code>.
By default, all the files in Amahi Sync's cloud are private.
= Encryption and Security =
Encryption and Security is important for Amahi Sync. Amahi Sync's storage back-end is implemented with [http://aws.amazon.com/ Amazon Web Service's S3 service]. Transmission of the files is done via an encryption channel between your HDA and Amahi Sync's back-end servers.
The files are not kept encrypted, since they are accessed through the user control panel. As well, shares enabled as public, are accessed directly via the shared URLs.
