- **Date Policy**: Files are tiered to the cloud if they haven't been accessed (that is, read or written to) for the specified number of days.

- **Initial Sync**: The Initial Sync section is available only for the first server endpoint in a sync group (section changes to Initial Download when creating more than one server endpoint in a sync group). Within the Initial Sync section, you can select the **Initial Upload** and **Initial Download** behavior.

- Option #1: Merge the content of this server path with the content in the Azure file share. Files with the same name and path will lead to conflicts if their content is different.

> Azure Files Sync takes a snapshot of the Azure file share as a backup before creating the server endpoint. This snapshot can be used to restore the share to the state before the server endpoint was created. The snapshot is not removed automatically after the server endpoint is created, so you can delete it manually if you don't need it. You can find the snapshots created by Azure File Sync by looking at the snapshots for the Azure file share and checking for AzureFileSync in the Initiator column.
