Cloud based file sync for SBS?

Hey All, I don't know if this already exists or if you know of a software program that can allow this. I have a large handful of SBS clients and non server environments. I would like to possibly host a server and then have my client's SBS server sync their
files to my self hosting server. The idea is to give my clients greater piece of mind and quick access to data in the event of a catastrophe. I know programs like Crashplan are out there, but does it support SBS with Exchange?

Hi,
Do you mean the online backup for SBS? If the OS version is Windows Server 2012 Essentials, maybe we could use Windows Azure Online backup. For details, please refer to the following article.

Disable file sync for team

Does anyone know if it is possible to disable file sync for my team?

You can do this on the mac by creating a managed preference file and publish this out by profile manager and or other methods such as Munki.
The preference file that handles this is com.adobe.accmac.plist. and the key is called AHPreferenceEnableSync set to Boolean type.
Your users will think that they can turn this feature on but the result is it will fail to load the file sync window and nothing will sync. Below is what the preference should look like after modifying it. If you don't know much about managing preferences please take the time and learn the basics. If you have questions just let me know.

Why can't I use the creative cloud connection file syncing?

I hear people raving about it on twitter, so why am I only seeing a 'coming soon' message in the files tab of my creative cloud interface? I would very much like to use the file syncing to work between two computers! What is going on here? Is there some kind of area restriction going on for this service?

Convert Raw Device to file system based file systems for datafiles [HP-UX]

Hello experts,
Once again in seek of guidance..
I am in the process of migrating my database (Oracle 7.2.3 on HP-UX 10.20 to Oracle 8.1.7 64-bits on HP-UX 11).
Amongst one of our steps is to convert our RAW Device datafiles to File System based files within the same server and version - Oracle 7.2.3 on HP-UX 10.20.
E.g. /dev/vg00/rlvol1 to become /d01/oradata/cmtdb/tbs1.dbf
Is this something possible?
Can i just do the following:
a. Shutdown database (normal)
b. dd if=/dev/vg00/rlvol1 of=/d01/oradata/cmtdb/tbs1.dbf bs=20k
c. chown oracle7:dba /d01/oradata/cmtdb/tbs1.dbf
d. svrmgrl> startup mount
e. alter database rename file '/dev/vg00/rlvol1' to '/d01/oradata/cmtdb/tbs1.dbf'
f. alter database open.
Thanks very much for your replies.
Please tell me about possible problems that i can anticipate.

Feature Request: Cloud Based Library Sync

I'd like to request the following feature for Lightroom 5:
Like many photographers, I use a notebook for field trips, and a MacPro for home. Life becomes painful when I come back from a shoot, as I transfer all my images to the MacPro, but still want to keep the ability to edit them on either machine. What I'd like to suggest is a Cloud Service where all of my directories are synced to the cloud, and on each machine, I have the ability to sync any directory down to that machine, and point to a local directory to find the RAW image files. Then if I make a change on in meta data, or develop, those settings (which are small amounts of data) should sync to the other machine via the cloud.
This would be an enormous productivity boost.
Thank you,
David

It would be lovely, but even the 100 Mbit lines that are appearing in Korea and other places would be so slow.
I'm sure there is an equation to calculate the time for 16Gb to be passed over at 10/100 Mbit line, but that was not all of my shoot yesterday.
4 questions for you
Q- How quickly does a your card reader write to your hard drive?
Q - what is the read / write speed of your card?
Q - what is your internet speed rated at?
Q what do you get realistically downloading a large file from a website?
Answers from my ISP and hardware
A - 1 x 24Mb RAW every 2-4 seconds
A - rated at 60MB/s
A - rated at 10Mb
A - I sometimes get 1000Kb/s
based on my answer 4, a 24 Mb file downloading on my line would take
24 seconds...
I took 700 photos yesterday, ie ±16 Gb
24 x 700 = 16,800 seconds or 280 minutes.
1Gb is taking ±18 minutes
On the assumption you can wait over 4,5 hours to get the images to your large computer which is probably sitting on the desk next to you, (next to your adsl router with network capability) that 16 Gb is just over 2/3 of my monthly ADSL capacity.
Then I want to edit / remove, tweak, make a nice 16bit Tiff of one of the images - 160 Mb....
I've made a pano from 6 images that I combine in Hugin, then take back to LR to edit, its another 16 BIT 14,000 by 3200 px TIFF... 800 Mb - a 15minute upload time.
That and I am not alone as a photographer with having several Tb of images, and that is a fair load of image data. Costly in time to squirt that all to the cloud, and when you hit CMD + S to update all the Metadata when you Geotag 1000's of images, another few days of updating every DNG or RAW/JPEG/TIFF sidecar.
What about your previews, would you keep them local or also on the clould?
You are asking for speeds and power required from a service that are just not available yet and logistically for a while.
realistic workarounds
suggestion one
Set up a server at home, with all your images one one large fast stack of hard drives and at least all your images are referenced from one place.
Have you tried working with LR over WIFI..... it is so slow.
speed it up by using network cables.
Suggestion two
I have all my images on several firewire 800 hard drives and at the moment swap the cables from one computer to another. Using a network cable I would not need to swap the cables over, - but I'd need network capable hard drives which I dont have.
As per the 2 responses above you've hit a physical barrier, pictures move faster thru cables than the air, and putting loads of pictures through the air will be slow, costly and frustrating.
to the future
Put it in as a feature request for LR6 and hope that in 4 years time that we all have access to 100GBit/1000Gbit dual band bi-synchronous DSL free internet so that them bits can zoom in and out of the cloud at speeds than make thunderbolt look slow. Then we'd be talking, but hey my new Canon D1HhellOfAnAmazingNewNumberingSystem 2016 camera has 800 Mpixels with 20Bits of data for each pixel... each photo is 2000 Mb.....
Maybe there is new hardware around the corner where you can make a local cloud in your home or office - wifi and network based hard drives? Now all you need is some way of synching the LR5 database.
I will plus one your suggestion and agree there is great merit in it.

File sync for Mac

I subscribed to CC in July - apparantly while sync was temporarily not working - I am STILL waiting. I have contacted support chat several times and they always direct me to this forum. Could a STAFF member or someone who knows anything about this help me PLEASE! Each time I turn on Sync files, it starts, then says: Creative Cloud Server Error. If I log into CC on another computer, my files are all "empty". This defeats the whole reason for me subscribing to CC, and is extremely frustrating. Please can someone help!! Rochelle (New Zealand)

Hi Artcookie,

File sync for Mac files NTFS

I have a NTFS 6TB raid5 array I use fr backups. For years I have been using freefilesync on Mac to sync my main data (also NTFS) drive. This worked fine but not I am using Mavericks it seems to also think all the files are changed every thine I do a sync. Any idea why this is, is there a different program I can change (not Timemachine as I just need a straight mirror.

Cloud Upload / File Sync Failures

Dear Adobe,
If your uploading of files to share with clients doesn't properly work, what is the advantage of using your cloud service? Twice this month I have tried to upload files for clients:
- The first time was a 2g .zip file of images I was delivering to an agency from one of our still shoots. I tried to upload it both via CC desktop folder and via the web (which I have since read somewhere that is limited to 1g? Is this true?). Both attempts failed, and at least gave me a failure message (although the message didn't help my client recieve their files).
- The second time was today for a different client and was a 1g zipped file. I tried to upload via the web. Not only did it fail, but there was no notification of the failure. Everything just looked as normal but with an empty folder and no upload progress bar.
Why is this happening? I'd like to note that on both of the occasions above I had success upload the same exact files to DropBox and delivered that way. Considering I'm paying you monthly for a service that should be supierior for creatives, shouldn't I expect more? To add insult to this, I actually cancelled my You Send It account to help ofset the monthly price tag of CC... Arg!
So far, twice in the last month I have time and resourses sucked away because of this; if it's something I'm doing incorrectlly, I'd love to know so I can fix it. If it is simply a failure on your end, FIX IT so I am not frustrated every month when I see your chages on my credit card!
Thank You,
/d./

50% failure rate here. Been trying to upload a file since 9am. Am skipping my lunch to fire up an alternative method. Client thinks I've been slackin' all morning. Thanks Adobe.

Is it possible to use a cloud-based file storage workflow with InCopy?

We have outside writers and editors that we do not want to provide server access to due to security reasons. Wondered if it would be possible to store all the InDesign, InCopy files, etc. in the cloud and have all parties access the files from there. Would this work?

File Sync does not stay on in Adobe Creative Cloud - OSX Mavericks

To download assets (clip art) from Creative Cloud Market, File Sync in CC must be on. I turn it on, but when I try to download it turns itself off. Anyone else have this issue?

Please try the workaround posted here:

This seems to have worked for a few other users. Hopefully we'll be able to release a fix to this issue soon.

I can't get the Business Catalyst add on to work due to file sync not working

I'm trying to create a new Business Catalyst site via Dreamweaver. I installed the add-on in creative cloud, restarted my machine and Dreamweaver. I realised that in Creative Cloud preferences file sync was turned off, so I turned it on and restarted my machine and found that in preferences it was turned off again. I need to know why it won't save this setting.

Are you running LabVIEW 7.0? The 7.1 version seems to work reliably but the 7.0 version does not to seem to work most of the time. I am having the same problems as you describe. Must be some bug in 7.0, but I have not had time to compare the code. Anyone?

Firefox requires clicking "Allow" to view one screen in cloud-based database

When using Firefox (but not Windows) in a cloud-based database (SaaS) for facility scheduling, one particular screen (in a series of screens needed for each reservation) will not load until I click the "Allow" button every time. This is enough of a nuisance that I want to tell Firefox to trust everything on the url, my.serviceu.com/. I'd like to know how to do this. I only have this problem when using the system on Firefox, not MS Explorer, but the system is written to run best on Firefox.

Do you mean this?
*Firefox > Options/Preferences > Advanced > General Accessibility [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

PC Suite File Sync

I just downloaded the PC Suite 6.84.10.3 since I have been longin g file sync for long time. Unfortunately it seems to be working only partially. Changes on my E61i files are not identified as more recent from the suite and the older PC files are overwritten on the E61i (yes, I checked the clocks and they differ of 5 seconds).
Also changes on PC files are not always recognized.
Any suggestion ?
Also would be nice to sync files in multiple folders.
Andrea

Hi,
I know, that it not going to solve your problem completely, but with my technique the file sync option is more useful.
- Create a briefcase folder on your PC. This folder will be your sync folder what you set in PcSuite to sync.
- collect all your docs, folders, pictures and so on in this folder.
That's it, your files will be synced automatically. After PcSync finished, you have to sync your briefcase folder by right click on it and choose sync all.
With similar technique you can manage your bookmarks as well if you replace your Mobile bookmarks folder in your bookmarks folder with a briefcase folder called:Mobile bookmarks.
Cheers!

AD sync service account for cloud based application

i have a cloud based application that i am setting up AD sync with. in their directions below i have bolded the ones i need answers too. my domain functional level is windows server 2003
The active directory synchronization requires the following:
A domain user which has the following properties:
The password is known and does not expire - completed
The domain user account has read permissions to all objects in the entire domain within active directory
Confirm that if the domain has been upgraded to Windows 200x functional level from Windows NT4, 2000 or 2003 that we have the appropriate Group permissions below available to the domain user account for the synchronization in addition
to read permissions to the entire domain:
Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible Access
Pre-Windows 2003 Compatible Access
The username and password are passed using the appropriate communication channels - completed
i have created a service account in my AD called myappldap. does a domain user have read permissions to all objects in the entire domain within active directory without adding the to any other security groups except domain users? Or do i have to click on
the top level domain object in AD>go to properties>security>and give them read permission and proprogate down those premissions? Also i do not see Pre-windows 2003 compatible access as a security object i can give this service account read permissions
to. i just wanted to confirm that this is because i am still running a functional domain of windows server 2003?

A domain user has complete Read on everything in the forest.
As for the Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible group, that's a reduced security group to allow NULL password for pre-Windows 2000 DCs, such as the way NT4 RRAS (VPN servers) used. In Windows 2000 and newer, we can eliminate that group, since it's a security concern.
More info to read up on it, here:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/e8dfacba-985f-4042-abeb-f341bf37522f/prewindows-2000-compatible-access-group?forum=winserverDS
Everyone group does not include anonymous security identifier
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278259
As for Pre-Windows 2003, I haven't come across anything that would say
pre-2003. It almost appears that the software is using NULL or some other kind of reduces security on the password. Then again, I could totally be wrong. Is that specifically how the third party software specifies it in the docs?
Can you post a link to it?

Adobe Creative Cloud will not Sync Any Files/Folders (MAC OSX)

I am posting this more as a guide for people having similar issues than I am a question, as it has already been resolved but I could not find this answer anywhere on the forums.
Here was my situation:
After a fresh install of a completely empty creative cloud account, Creative Cloud is unable to sync any files or folders.
In order to troubleshoot the issue, I created a single <folder> and 1 file (Instructions.txt) inside my Creative Cloud Folder that needed to sync. Remember, this was a brand new install on a brand new account.
I then attempted to sync.
Here is an excerpt from my CoreSync log, so that you can see the errors being generated:

I called Adobe Customer Support, and after explaining the situation, was first instructed on how to save a file to my Creative Cloud folder. Just a note to Adobe, when a customer sends you a detailed log file and tells you they have already tried certain steps from the forums, don't start at using Adobe 101.
Customer service insisted that I try deleting options.tix again. I did so, following the instruction posted here: Re: I can't sync to my files In the CC desktop app
This did not work.
Support then requested that I navigate to /Users/<my username>/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/ and rename the "CoreSync" folder to "Coresyncold".
Upon doing, killing "Adobe Creative Cloud" and "CoreSync" processes, and restarting the "Adobe Creative Cloud" Application, all syncing functionality worked correctly.
To summarize, this fixed the issue:
Rename "CoreSync" to "Coresyncold" (Functionally, the same as deleting it)
Kill "Adobe Creative Cloud" and "CoreSync" Processes
Restart "Adobe Creative Cloud"
Here is the process as terminal commands:
mv ~/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/CoreSync ~/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/CoreSyncOld
killall Creative\ Cloud
killall CoreSync
open -a Creative\ Cloud
Good Luck,
Michael

Hi, Thanks for the reply. Everything worked fine until I updated to CC14. after that, I receive conflicted file messages. So, I archived all my files that were in cloud. I opened each file on my Mac and re-saved them using SaveAs so I was sure the file was in the CC14 format. I uploaded each file to the cloud as they would not synch. Now when I work on a file I get double the files showing the original file (with the old upload date) and the conflicted file on my Mac. I have no idea now which file I am actually using is the original file or the conflicted file. Still today, nothing synchs - I get the "Some Files failed to Sync" message - click Learn More and the message tells me that the cloud is working perfectly... but it's not... my files aren't synching... I have worked on two files today and neither have synched. It's the weirdest thing...

Cloud based file sync for SBS?
