I first tried “file copy t.c.” = 4, and “directory copy t.c.” to 30, which produced the results above (left side). I couldn't find decent documentation on recommended settings for Richcopy, so I winged it and set my own below. Or could it be that my ISP allows a higher upload bandwidth for the speedtest than other sites? Though I don't think my bandwidth matters if I can't get around Google's cap. That's not possible for me as I have 10mbps upload bandwidth limit ( Ookla Speedtest). I'm really envious of people who are getting 57mbps upload.

After Richcopy finished, the amount of green became scarce, as Windows Explorer chugged along one file at a time.Īlso note that Google seems to cap my upload at 1.5Mbps.

The graph does not represent the full amount of time, but it does show how much more effective Richcopy is at using all the bandwidth. In the graph below, Windows Explorer and RichCopy were going at the same time, with the same amount of files, in number and size (to be fair, I should have tested each without the overlap in time, but… meh). How faster is Richcopy? At least 3 times as fast as Windows Explorer. At least the job continues if there is an error. So it works faster but it's still a pain. Although I get a lot of errors with the string “the system cannot find the file specified”. Although in this case there is even more latency as it's the internet instead of the LAN. Update: I started using Richcopy, which is multithreaded and optimized for the high latency associated with network use 1. Roadkil's unstoppable copier is the right tool for this job. The notification happened while I was sleeping. Apparently, my previous use of DropBox has added some metadata to my files, that I don't really care for. Also with Windows Explorer, the copying was interrupted due to a notification of stream (metadata) loss, which prompted for confirmation if I was ok with that. Due to the upload being incomplete, I had to figure out what had and hadn't been copied using ViceVersa. While using Windows Explorer for uploading files, in rare instances I get an I/O error, and the copying terminates unfinished.

If it's many tiny files, the delay between each file transmission makes the upload slow as molasses. If it's just one huge file it's not a factor. The result is that Windows Explorer and Roadkil copy files 2-5 times as fast as the others. The programs appear to want a confirmation that the file has been copied, which causes a delay. There seems to be a delay between each file upload, in the programs that are not Windows Explorer or Roadkil's unstoppable copier. Downloading files as a background process can take a very long time, unless the number of files is few, so this may not always be practical.

However, treating server files as if they were local requires downloading the files you are processing, as a background process. You can also use your file manipulation tools/programs, including the ones in the windows file explorer context menu, as if the files were local. This allows you to quickly browse/search for a file as if you had all of them locally. Also, you can mount the server file system as a network drive. Higher file system maintenance on devicesĪ compromise is to have all the files on the server, and sync only sets of files you use frequently. Overhead in terms of system resources (especially CPU usage for encrypted file transfers) You can sync your files to all your devices, including a copy on the file server, which provides backup with file versioning. The server takes care of backup with file versioning. You can have all your files on a server, and work with them remotely from all your devices.
