binarybana Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 It should work for any type of file, is there any reason in particular you are worried about .pst's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Denis Posted June 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Primarliy because when in use i.e. Outlook is open it appears as though you cannot copy files, which may/would mean that a sync would not work. is that an issue or am I reading to much into this?

ChrisH Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 I'd guess it will not sync while Outlook is running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 There are issues surrounding syncing Outlook's .pst files, as these files are kept open/locked whilst Outlook is running. Users have reported similar issues a while back.In essence, yes, Sync can sync .pst files, but not whilst the files are open/locked, and given that .pst files can be very large (several GB), the entire file will likely transfer each time you open & then close outlook (even if you've not received/sent any new mail) ....for this reason, most users tend to exclude Outlook .pst files from Sync.
