There I can click on the file and it is getting downloaded. This is not really convenient as it is in resilio-sync. With ignore patterns I define what I want and what not. Now if one has NOT used selective sync before and they come fresh to the problem, yes.I can see you would think that ignore patterns would get you what you want. but that assumes that one has used selective sync from other solutions and they would like to see something similar here. I guess better said: for anybody that has used dropbox selective sync OR resilio selective sync, I would dare say is really obvious that ignore patterns is NOT the solution to this problem, not even in the ballpark. it gives you "something" but not selective sync using the definition that I know I can't wrap my head around how ignore patterns actually gives you partial or selective sync for the exact same reason you outlined above. keep seeing comments from core maintainers pointing to ignore patterns. for me, it should work exactly how you outlined it. Plus, the folder structure stays the same.Totally agree there's a fundamental disagreement on how "partial sync" (or "selective sync") should work. In-House you can synchronize the whole project including the original assets and the same share can be used for external workers who can selectively request only the proxies without the need to first upload the whole structure to dropbox or similar. The brilliant thing about this solution is that you can solve multiple problems with this. But that is a fine price to pay in my opinion. The only problem is that the remote client can't do the final rendering with only the proxies. That way when a new device connects it can rapidly get those files. This code will not synchronize any file but the files that are in folders with the name "proxy" or "Proxy".įor us, I have put Syncthing on a vServer that only gets the proxies from every participating device and holds it available on the vServer. Just point it at your project folder, or root project folder and add the following Ignore Pattern on the receiving device: This enables us to selectively synchronize only those with Syncthing. The nice thing is that the new proxy generator generates those in predictable places. Besides, it takes weeks to upload 500-600 GB. There are quite a few tutorials on this topic out there.īut what about the media files? Synchronizing all the files would take up loads of resources and clutter my Internetconnection immensely. You just have to install postgres in some fashion and open the port to the internet. To access the project is easy enough in theory. So, to work remotely we need two things - the project and the media files. So, if Device C wants a file, it can get it from Device A and Device B (in case both have the file). That means the devices you want to synchronize with each other do so directly and can help each other out. Syncthing is an open-source P2P syncing utility. I believe that for small teams it is possible and feasible to work around dropbox or similar services with much less money by utilizing Syncthing. The new update made a few pieces fall into place in my brain with the release of the new proxy generator. My customers are often not the final customer but the agency. I spent some time last year thinking about how to work remotely with my customers. is a proprietary peer-to-peer file synchronization tool available for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android. ![]() I freelance in cinematography and grading but occasionally edit as well. Resilio Sync (formerly BitTorrent Sync) by Resilio, Inc. By skipping the cloud, transfers can be significantly. ![]() I saw the presentation for the new Resolve 18 Cloud Update including the new Cloud Store hardware. Sync uses peer-to-peer technology to provide fast, private file sharing for teams and individuals.
