Selective sync question


Recommended Posts

1. Before purchasing work-group, I want to understand something about the selective sync feature. Let's say I have 2GB of files syncing to someone. Now I need to immediately send a 15MB file, without it waiting in que... with "selective sync", can I temporarily pause the 2GB folder and have the 15MB file sync first?

2. Will only I be able to use the "selective sync" feature or will the people connected to me also be able to use it? (If only I paid for the workgroup version)

  1. Selective Sync works slightly differently. When you enable Selective Sync on some peer, it won't sync files automatically anymore. It will only keep synced those, which you explicitly select. Although, if you have 2Gb of data and, for example, 1Gb of this data is selected by you to be synced and other peers change 500Mb of that data, there is no way for you to prioritize your 15Mb file. Sync will decide on its own how to deliver these 500Mb of changes.
    In short Selective Sync feature won't let you prioritize downloads.
  2. Yes. Only owners of paid version can use Selective Sync.
