Desktop Sync is in Beta and available for Admin roles only across all Stockpress plans, including free. Please send a message in the workspace chat to enable Desktop Sync Beta in your workspace.
The Stockpress Desktop Sync app lets Stockpress users with editing permissions access their files locally on their desktops. Desktop Sync is great for editing creative files in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Lightroom, Premiere Pro, and more, without having to download and re-upload edits to your Stockpress workspace. All changes are automatically synced to keep the files in your Stockpress workspace up to date.
To install the Stockpress Desktop Sync app, open the three-dot menu in your sidebar and select Integrations.
On the integrations page, click the Connect button under Desktop Sync to open the settings page with your integration key.
