    -- Possible synchronization modes are:
    -- mode=0: Download all files
    -- mode=1: Download all files that do not exist on the local filesystem.
    -- mode=2: Download newer or non-existant files.
    -- mode=3: Download only newer files. If a file does not already exist on the local filesystem, it is not downloaded from the server.
    -- mode=5: Download only missing files or files with size differences.
