For security reasons I want to install OsaSync on a hidden share, is this possible?

If you do not want to expose shares in your network it is possible to install OsaSync on a hidden share like ‘\\computer\OsaSync$’. This improves security, as it is not visible in the network neighborhood yet fully accessible. Create a hidden share by appending the $ sign at the end of the share name. If you do this after OsaSync has been installed then open the Windows registry (using RegEdit), navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\OsaSync and edit all file paths in the registry directly in this key and its sub keys for each configured computer. Append the $ sign to the share name.
