We've got several machines running Dropbox (all mac osx desktops and laptops - no mobiles / tablet apps). 99% of the time we are syncing data between machines that are in the same room and on the same wifi network, but i dont think its using LAN, just by the amount of time it takes for the data to show up on the other machines.
Is there a way to check if the data is being synced over LAN or back and forth to the Dropbox servers, is there some extra configuration we need to setup to get the LAN working properly ?
what about changes to existing files? in the case of software development, syncing changes to existing files is much more important speed wise than syncing a new file, which isn't too common – Devin G Rhode – 2018-07-12T20:57:38.893
Would a change to an existing file first upload, and only after thats done begin doing the LAN sync? – Devin G Rhode – 2018-07-12T20:58:11.113
1The files are uploaded to Dropbox first. Then the lan sync is used to transfer the files between your computers. – daxlerod – 2013-10-16T19:23:40.263
