Comment on Why I Dropped Dropbox and got OwnCloudparent

Comments

How exactly does it (BitTorr..) sync data between my mobile & my laptop? If I have 100 Gigabytes of pics on my laptop. Will it attempt to copy it on my phone or does it cache a small portion? Does that need internet connection or will ad-hoc wifi work?

AFAIK, it'll try to copy it all. However, the practice is to separate content in a number of folders and sync only certain folders on certain devices. Slightly different approach than Dropbox, but works OK.
