Synchronizing documents with a timebag

One day, our leading character, Andy, wants to synchronize documents with his mobile timebag between home and office.

On his Linux desktop at home, Andy launches AOcell vSync and plugs in his USB Flash Drive.
Right away, AOcell vSync finds his timebag as shown below:

Note
From the screenshot above, you can see that the working copy folder is "Andy's Documents/Product Documents".
Andy already has a Microsoft Word document named "Support us.doc" in the working copy folder "Andy's Documents/Product Documents".
