But then you can also just run it manually at the beginning and end of day (or use only the external drive as proposed by Allan). | |

If I had the money, I'd just use it to move my studio to another place where I could get wired internet (which I can't at my current location). | |

Preferably I'd be able to check the program and see if all files are done syncing. | |

| Sep 1, 2022 at 7:35 | comment | added | nohillside♦ | What kind of applications are you using, what kind of files do need to get synced? With background syncing, how can you be sure that everything is really synced before you disconnect the drive? | |
