FileSyncProvider Constructor

Initializes a new instance of the FileSyncProvider class.

Information that is passed to the constructors is used for initialization and is set for the life of the provider instance. This means that, when any changes are made to these settings, a new instance of the provider must be created. For example, to change the scope filter that is being used for synchronization, a new file synchronization provider must be created and initialized with the new filter.

The Sync Framework file synchronization provider uses the metadata storage service to store all synchronization metadata in a lightweight database. The metadata database is a single file. This file can be stored with the files and folders to be synchronized or in another location that is specified in the FileSyncProvider constructor.
