School-level feature — DeanDesk Sync connects to a specific school portal at yourschool.deandesk.com. Teacher, staff, or admin account required.
DeanDesk Sync is a macOS desktop app for teachers and staff that watches a folder on your Mac and automatically uploads new files to a course’s materials. Link a folder to a course once, and everything that lands in it is published to the course — no manual uploads.

​
Requirements

  • macOS 11 or later (Apple Silicon or Intel)
  • A DeanDesk teacher, staff, or admin account

​
Download

Go to deandesk.com/download and click Download for Mac.

How it works

1

Sign in to your school

Launch the app and sign in to your school. The app opens your browser to authorize the connection — sign in with your teacher or staff account and approve.
2

Point a folder at a course

Pick any local folder on your Mac and link it to a course.
3

New files upload themselves

Any file that appears in the folder is added to the course’s materials automatically, and students are notified.

​
Recurring exports

DeanDesk Sync is designed for folders that fill up on a schedule — recurring exports like Zoom cloud-recording folders.
Point DeanDesk Sync at your Zoom cloud-recording folder once, and every new class recording publishes to the course automatically.

​
Security

  • Authorization happens in your browser — the app never sees your password.
  • Your sign-in token is stored in the macOS Keychain.
