Data Transfers · Scheduling transfers
Does Data Transfers sync changes in real time?
Short answer: No. Transfers run when you start them or on a schedule (as often as every hour), picking up changes since the last run. For near-instant mirroring between two of your Macs, use Collab Sync.
No. A transfer runs when you start it or when its schedule comes round — the most frequent schedule is every hour. Changes made in between are picked up on the next run.
If you want a folder kept the same on two of your Macs within seconds of each save, Collab Sync does that over a direct link between the two Macs, with no cloud in between.
