Installing the accsyn Desktop App

accsyn Desktop app - manage title storage.

The app is required to facilitate accelerated and resumable file transfers - the core of the accsyn platform.

When creating a delivery, or actioning a delivery on the web, the app installation is guided from the browser - no manual installation is required. The app will then run in the background (system tray / menu bar) as needed during transfer, and can then be closed.

Besides this, the app is mandatory when:

• Detailed monitoring and audit of jobs (deliveries, transfers, queues).

• Managing file sharing on your clour or on-prem storage.

• Access shared folders.

• Manage the accsyn Media Vault - ingest and manage your media, as a manager.

• Submit render jobs and publish files in BYOS configurations - part of workflows.

The app is written in Java and requires Java installed on Linux platforms, Windows & Mac installers has Java bundled.
