Cloud Project Upload Speeds
I'm currently uploading a Project to the Avid Cloud at 0.2 Mbps, even though I can upload to other services such as WeTransfer at 30 Mbps (I did a test just now as I was typing this message).
Any ideas on what might be wrong? Last edited by chrismeraz; 06-15-2020 at 06:39 AM. |

Re: Cloud Project Upload Speeds
Avid is behind the times with the tech for transfers. Cloud has never worked well.

Re: Cloud Project Upload Speeds
Very interesting decision trusting Avid cloud with your work.

Re: Cloud Project Upload Speeds
Darryl, this isn't for backup (that would be daft). It's for collaboration. If it works, the workflow is much easier than constantly sending files and sessions back and forth.
Has this worked well for anyone? |

There is nothing wrong with making archive copies to a cloud storage provider. But yes don't do that as a flakey cloud project, just drag and drop a session or zip file of a session etc to the cloud... and check the copy completes. Many people do that. It is a useful way of getting assets protected off computer and off site. And makes a lot of sense as part of an proper backup/archive/recovery plan which should rely on multiple copies kept in multiple places (often in multiple formats). Maybe you should spend some time looking through DUC at all the complaints on cloud projects, many issues with Pro Tools First users having issues with trivial projects. And while DUC naturally collects people reporting issues, it still seems a mess. Avid just does not give me any confidence they have the skills to do this. With repeat similar problems requiring support intervention or users just giving up. I would want to hear about a *lot*of people successfully doing collaboration before risking any work in it. You might want to ask how many users are using cloud collaboration in a new thread with a title that matches? That might help turn up more users. And since you raised backup... I hope you have offline backups of the work in your cloud project. But how exactly do you properly make and restore those and preserve the collaboration info? Does save as session do that? Or do you copy project cached files, and how do you restore them if you do? Surely this is obvious? Documented somewhere by Avid? |

Re: Cloud Project Upload Speeds
I've used cloud for collaboration. It doesn't work consistently. Too many issues. After a couple days we gave up.

That will preserve all the collaboration data by converting the Cloud Project to a local Session, and then I would delete the old session on my hard drive after that. |

Re: Cloud Project Upload Speeds
Upload and download seems to work just fine after I upgraded to PT 2020.5.
