dropbox lansync
$ dropbox help lansync dropbox lansync [y/n] options: y Dropbox will use LAN sync (default) n Dropbox will not use LAN sync
Dropbox LAN Sync is a feature designed to speed up file synchronization over a local network. When you enable LAN Sync, Dropbox uses your local network to transfer files between devices that are connected to the same network, rather than uploading files to Dropbox's servers and then downloading them to another device. This can significantly reduce the time it takes to sync large files or a large number of files between devices on the same network:
- Local Network Transfer: When a file is updated on one device, Dropbox first checks if other devices on the same local network have the same Dropbox account. If they do, Dropbox transfers the file directly between those devices
- Faster Syncing: Because the transfer happens over the local network, it’s usually faster than syncing via the internet, which can be constrained by upload and download speeds and other factors
- Resource Efficiency: Using LAN Sync can reduce the load on Dropbox's servers and bandwidth usage, which is beneficial for both users and Dropbox.
To use LAN Sync, you generally need to enable it in the Dropbox settings on your devices. Note that all devices involved need to be on the same local network and have LAN Sync enabled for it to work.
