Then, say A syncstore-Z and B syncstore-Z and C syncstore-Z occurs concurrently. Consider the case where A,B, and C are machines with local instances of database Z – each of which have changed some thing on their instance. I wonder if a sync store is always “safer” in the case of multiple synchronizations. Perhaps, your problem can be solved in the same way (that is by copying the database to the second location rather than by importing it from the store). It finished in 3 minutes and everything works without problems now. After the sync finished (45 minutes) I took the stick to the first computer, added its store in the sync preferences of DEVONThink on that computer (‘add existing local sync store’ in the ‘… with these locations pane’) and synced the database on that computer with the store (again after a ‘very and repair’ and ‘backup and optimize’). At the second computer I created a sync store on the USB stick (‘add new local store’ in the ‘… with these locations pane’ in DEVONThink’s Sync preferences) and synced the database on that computer with that store (before the sync I did a ‘very and repair’ followed by a ‘backup and optimize’, just to be sure).
Instead, I copied the database from the first computer to the USB and moved it from there to the second computer. I didn’t import the database from the sync store though. Speed depends on the type of USB you use (I use USB 3) and the format (HFS+ is much faster than FAT). Like you, I switched to using a 16 GB USB stick and for me that works very well. (By the way: Bluefrog, can you please have a look at the thread in which I asked how to remove the sync remainders from dropbox and answer my question about the transactions folder? )
The only result is that my dropbox load increased with 10% and I don’t know how to remove it. I tried to sync a 10 Gb database to dropbox and gave up after 4 days and many resumes. Again, the sync to copy to the flash drive works, its when I try to import to another Mac.
This is with a new database that I created with a mail archive import of about 16000 messages, tried to sync with Dropbox and then cancelled, and next tried the local sync store.
Ok so I set up a local sync store on a USB flash drive, performed my sync in about an hour (pretty good compared to Dropbox at 40+ and still going), took the USB drive home and my import to my home machine does not complete successfully.
