LAN Sync only checks computers on the same local area network, which saves time if computers sharing a common router have also shared files.
This is only useful for large files such as when you want to share a video between your phone and your TV because each file is separated into blocks of 4 MB each. Normally when a file is uploaded, the database must check to see whether the file already exists, then whether it must be updated.
Next, the second device checks for updates, which are then downloaded. Streaming Sync allows the second device to "pre-fetch" the 4 MB blocks even before authentication, which means that, by the time Dropbox says to the second device, "Okay, you need an update and have the authority to receive it," the blocks are already on their way.
In all, Dropbox states that the improvements they have instituted make their service 5 times faster than Google Drive, Box and Microsoft OneDrive.
Google Drive operates in much the same way as Dropbox, though there is room for improvement across all protocols. Inefficiencies in Google Drive's protocol are a result of lack of adoption of deduplication making sure that file contents are not re-transmitted or bundling transmitting numerous small "chunks" of data as one large one. From my research, I found that " Google Drive establishes a new connection for one file without bundling suffering TCP slow start ". As stated above, Google Drive's protocol includes re-transmission of entire files rather than just the modified portions known as Delta encoding , resulting in a slower process.
However, Google Drive may be better than Dropbox when e-mail attachments are concerned. Peer-to-peer communication is the name for the protocol that allows computers to share information directly with each other, without accessing a cloud storage server. Anyone who has downloaded the BitTorrent client program has given BitTorrent authorization to store bits of separated files on their computer collectively, these are known as the "swarm".
When someone wants to download a file, BitTorrent uses a tracker to seek out each part of that file on the most convenient computer and sends it back to the requesting computer. This system evens out traffic on the internet and makes transfer of files generally faster. The explanation for the error message is simple: while users are free to share files publicly, or with a large number of users, quotas are in effect that limit availability.
If too many users view or download a file, it may be locked for a 24 hour period before the quota is reset. The period that a file is locked may be shorter according to Google.
If a file is particularly popular, it may take days or even longer before you manage to download it to your computer or place it on your Drive storage. Select the copy of the file with a right-click, and there download to download the file to your local system. Basically, what this does is create a copy of the file on your own Drive account. Since you are the owner of the copied file, you may download it to your local system this way. Please note that this works only if you are signed in to a Google Account.
Also note that you are the owner of the copied file and will be held responsible for policy violations or other issues linked to the file. Another option is: Any public folder in Drive can host files and provide direct links to the files. This will provide a folder that will give direct links to files inside the folder.
Note: hosting view will not display files created in Google Docs. It is working fantastic even though I have 40, active user. I used this solution because I did not have time to search too much!
