# Automatic Sync

> Schedule recurring synchronization between two buckets

The **Automatic Sync** view creates a recurring synchronization between a source bucket and a destination. Choose two connected providers, select the source bucket, optionally choose a destination bucket name (it defaults to the source bucket name), and choose the synchronization direction and frequency.

## Create a scheduled sync

1. Open **Automatic Sync** from the sidebar.
2. Select the source provider and bucket.
3. Select the destination provider and, if needed, enter a destination bucket name.
4. Choose a direction and interval, then select **Schedule Automatic Synchronization**.

Available directions are **One-way**, **Strict**, and **Two-way**. Intervals offered by the interface are 1, 2, or 3 minutes, 1 hour, 24 hours, 1 week, and 1 month. The page displays a file tree for the selected source bucket on wide screens.

One-way copies source-side changes without deleting destination-only objects. Strict mode mirrors the source and deletes destination-only objects. Two-way copies changes in both directions; conflicts use modification time. Review the behavior and limitations in [Services → Bucket](/services/object-storage.md) before scheduling, especially if using Strict.

Both providers must be available and the backend must be able to access their credentials for the schedule to run. The interface does not provide a per-object progress report or an SLA.
