Picture an editor uploading a folder of raw video from a hotel connection: I've been looking into what helps Dropbox sync large files over a patchy internet connection. Fast, reliable syncing across devices is what people value most, with automatic updates, version history and access from anywhere. In the reviews I read, large files take longer on an unreliable connection, so letting big uploads run on a stable network where possible, and closing open files before setting up selective sync on an older device, keeps things moving.
In cloud content collaboration, that makes Dropbox a good fit for teams moving files between people and devices every day, with selective sync keeping large folders off devices that don't need them. Very large uploads are mostly a question of the connection rather than the platform.
Situations worth comparing:
Do you use selective sync to keep large folders off devices that don't need them? And what's your routine for big uploads on the road?

Wondering if that's the easiest routine when travelling. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: about 4 hours ago ## Related discussions - [How well does Trello scale into a larger team?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/1-how-well-does-trello-scale-into-a-larger-team) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 6 - [Can we please add a new section](https://www.g2.com/discussions/2-can-we-please-add-a-new-section) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 0 - [Quantifiable benefits from implementing your CRM](https://www.g2.com/discussions/quantifiable-benefits-from-implementing-your-crm) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 4
