This is a big no-no, because of this, our eval of it was almost not worth it, so we stopped looking further. And since this is not N-way, it take another additional 5 mins to scan add'l directories(if you want to sync the same folder across more then 2 computers) or sync jobs, for total of 15mins? Syncovery appears to allow parallel syncing of jobs, but we were quickly turned off by it seemly not copying all the files like it should. In my case, it seemed like over 5 mins to do a complete sync. What this means is that the total time it takes to start up, scan, then start syncing can take awhile, depending on the size of your scan. initial sync seems to take a long time perhaps it's because it's only 32-bit?īottom Line: Even though Goodsync has block level syncing, a 15mb file with just a minor change will take about 5 seconds to sync up, but it has to go thru a whole directly scan before it'll do the update.does know not know when to start scanning/copying when file changes, relies on setting a timer to start syncing again and again.I did various renaming of files and it missed one file and no matter how many times I 'scanned' it, it never picked it up. Doesn't copy all the files like it should.instead of Syncovery scanning the remote computer, it'll send a request to the remote computer (known as Syncovery Remote Service) to scan the directories in it's place, then pass the info back to Syncovery to perform the needed task. It has a listeners on the serving computers that listens for requests from Syncovery to do stuff for it, i.e. Along the same line, syncovery does not use a specialized communication protocol to prevent permissions problem like Synk, GoodSync, and Chronosync.If it gets disconnected you'll be prompted with apple disconnected message (which can be annoying) especially if you have multiple volumes to sync. Uses standard afp which requires you to mount the afp volume.A lot of features!, but can become very confusing to the average user.no N-way sync, only can sync to two computer at a time, if you want to sync more then two, then you'll need to set up individual jobs for each computer.
takes up to a minute to simply copy an untitled folder (it must go thru a whole scan first, so the more files the longer).once it is set to automatically analyze, there is not way to stop it except force quite it.That means if you have a large scan on job 1, then it'll take forever to get to job 5. If you have more then one job, it will run each job sequentially.When file changes it starts scanning almost immediately.when you rename a file, it actually renames it on remote computers.when you modify a large file, just he parts that changed get copied over.It will seem that it should copy the new file over first, then remove the old file, but instead remove the old file then copy the new one over (what happens if the laptops looses network connection? which appears to have happened right after it deleted a file and then it lost connection) I have written the company about this bug. It appears that it'll delete a large file (15mb) then copy the new file over. Occasionally, it appears that a file will get delete thus causing a conflict in which I have to tell it what to do.Also if you rename a file, the whole file or folder gets copied over then the only one gets deleted.If you change a large file, the whole file get copied over again.Takes just 3 seconds to copy an newly created untitled folder across all computers.Any changes are almost immediately synced across all computers,.N-way sync, it'll sync to more then two computers at the same time.Block level syncing only syncs the portion of the file that changed rather then re-copying the whole file back over after a change. Block level syncing has also become important to us and that was actually why we have decided to try other syncing programs outside of Synk, which was our preferred syncing program for the last few years. We will not go through each individual features, but will focus primary on the syncing speed and the ability for it to sync across all computers (more then two) quickly.
#UNINSTALLING SYNCOVERY MAC MAC#
Over the years we've been tracking a handful of NON-cloud Mac Syncing programs and have listed their positives and negatives for each program.
As mentioned in a prior blog, backing up is very important to us.
