Adaptive synching

Various systems and methods for implementing adaptive synching are provided herein. A synchronization system comprises a processor; and a memory including instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to implement: a file synchronization controller to receive an indication from a client device that the client device wants to synchronize files with a file server; a policy manager to: obtain a server-side policy associated with the file server; and determine whether the file server is in a state compliant with the server-side policy; wherein the file synchronization controller is to initiate synchronization between the client device and the file server when the file server is in the state compliant with the server-side policy.
