Editing the CloudLink configuration file to enable the Google Sync options

Last published : Apr 17, 2026
Before you can use CloudLink for Google account synchronization you must edit its configuration file to enable the additional user interface options.
To edit the CloudLink configuration file to enable the Google Sync options
  1. Make sure that the CloudLink application is not running.
  2. Go to the folder in which CloudLink is installed, typically C:\Program Files\ArchiveTools\CloudLink.
  3. Make a backup copy of the CloudLink configuration file ArchiveTools.CloudLink.Server.exe.config, in case you want to revert to the original file later.
  4. Use a text editor such as Notepad to open ArchiveTools.CloudLink.Server.exe.config.
  5. Find the \<appSettings\> section of the file, and locate the following entry within it:
<add key="GoogleSyncEnabled" value="0" />
The value of this key is an integer that determines whether the CloudLink user interface displays or hides the Google Sync options.
  1. To display the Google Sync options, change the value to 1 so that the line reads as follows:
<add key="GoogleSyncEnabled" value="1" />
  1. Save the changes to the configuration file.
  2. Restart the ArchiveTools CloudLink Server service for the change to take effect.
