M-Pixel Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 The GUI claims that Standard Folders are "Best for syncing your own devices", so I've been using them for folders that I don't plant to share with any other identities. But this explanation of the differences between Standard and Advanced seems to indicate that they only exist for backwards-compatibility, and have no actual benefits over Advanced. My question is, should I continue using Standard for new folders that I don't expect to share with others, because there is less overhead, or should I stick with Advanced for everything because there's zero benefit to Standard over Advanced?

Moe Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Also another difference other than the ones stated in the KB article is in CPU usage. Standard folders tend to use less CPU than advanced folders. I personally use Advanced folders since they got announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M-Pixel Posted May 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Thanks, Moe, that's exactly what I was looking for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bielen2k Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 @Moe How big is the difference in CPU usage between standard and advanced folders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 @bielen2k Well, it depends on your hardware. I would say that security standing behind advanced folders is 1.5 times (very rough estimation) more consumable towards CPU resources.
