![]() Well that is certainly something to write home about. ![]() These things get worse the more people you try and share a project with. It's unfortunate because we have otherwise seen fewer other issues that we persistently deal with when using Dropbox and file based sharing, such as unreliable project file commits and locked project files. We suspect VW is connecting / communicating with the server so much that any change in latency, even minor, cause short pauses, which are simply maddening. This gets progressively worse the more network traffic there is, as one might expect, but to a degree that illustrates it was not made for this kind of setup. ![]() Basically we see a lot of lagging or delays as we work on a file. I discussed this a little in the below thread. I have actually found worse performance so far from using the Project Sharing Server on a cloud server. If that is not the case and you are comfortable with storing your project files in cloud providers then there are no drawbacks of using PS with VSS over PSS. PSS is to be used in companies with very strict security rules where Internet is highly restricted or companies that do not trust cloud providers to store their data. VCS sync is now fast using LAN sync (for users in the same local network), delta sync and regional storage (Migrating where your cloud data is stored can significantly improve sync speed. There would be no difference in sync speed. I would say that both solutions are robust and there is no compromise with reliability when using cloud providers. Changes to the project files stored in cloud providers are orchestrated by other service that has been there and tested for a number of years now. When using cloud providers that issue is not there, as everyone has a local copy of the project file and the modifications to it are done on the same machine and platform. PSS orchestrates the access to the project file and avoids conflicts and locks. That file being accessed by different platforms (Mac and Win) simultaneously often left the project file in a broken state (locked, partial etc.). The project file can be stored on different platforms (network drive, on Mac, Windows, Linux, Synology device etc.). The main issue PSS (Project Sharing Server) is trying to solve is the access and modification of the project file.
