globaledit Sync Best Practices

Optimizing your uploads with globaledit Sync

Upload up to 5000 assets & attachments per Sync.
Upload folder structures in Sync.
Upload a variety of asset files including but not limited to: .JPG, .PNG, .PDF, .MOV
Upload multiple sync uploads at one time.
Can customize user preferences.

Attachments need to be Synced in the same instance as the source files they are appending to
Folder name and structure needs to match 1-to-1 in order for the Attachments to be uploaded correctly.
The “uploaded x/x files....” readout is the total of both source assets and Attachments, but his number eventually goes down to match the source files.

Ensure that computer is set to stay awake for duration of Sync.
Ensure that no files are being adjusted while Sync is processing.
Ensure that both source and landing folders in GE are not being moved/adjusted/amended during a Sync.
Ensure stable internet connection via Ethernet connection, Wi-Fi connections can break and lose connection.
Up to 5000 assets can be uploaded via one sync, if over 5000 assets Sync will fail. It's best to split uploads of 5000+ assets into separate Sync uploads.
Uploading into a current globaledit workspace folder already containing assets and exceeding 5000 assets total will fail Sync.
Ensure that globaledit Sync is up to date - out of date versions could cause failure. Download the latest version.

One limit that is in place for Sync and browser upload:
- 512MB per asset upload limit
Currently Sync cannot upload versions.
Cannot be used for download - only upload.
