Hi @mia, I’m not @tim1mw but wanted to clarify - at least in my view - that the slow syncing isn’t due to a bug in Insync. It seems to actually be a feature, and related to the change made in v3 that uploads 12 files at once as @pedja1 mentioned in the OP.
The upload speed of most people’s internet connections is only a fraction of their download speeds, which usually results in 10Mbps/sec uploads or less. Then split that small amount of bandwidth over 12 large files at once, and it’s more likely that the file times out or the user has to shut down their computer or put it to sleep before the file uploads. And every time I’ve had to do that in the past, Insync v3 will start the upload over again.
The only way I was able to get my 100gb file to upload was to change my power settings so that my computer never went to sleep until the file was uploaded. Not an optimal scenario.
In my opinion, 2 things need to be fixed:
-
Reduce the number of simultaneous downloads (whatever Insync 1.X was set at seemed to work well for me)
-
Have Insync resume syncing a file if the computer gets shut down or put to sleep instead of starting over again. Insync 1.X seemed to do this well enough.
