Hi there,
I have been trying to use SmartWare Pro to backup part of my documents to Dropbox. While everything seems to be correctly set up, and the process starts ok and things start to be uploaded, I find myself having the following problems:
-
The upload is slow. Terribly slow. We are talking 5 minutes per mega slow. I did check that the upload speed is not a router problem. No firewalls, either. Uploads directly from my computer or My Book Live hard drive to Dropbox are fast, but when using SmartWare Pro they couldn’t be slower.
-
There is no way to upload more than, say, 10 megas at a time. At some point the slooooow process just stops – no information whatsoever, but it shows as non active. I can activate it again and start the backup again – that gives me an extra 10 megas, maybe, in like 40-50 minutes. Long way to go until I can upload the 8 gigas of documents I would like to have in Dropbox!
I even bought a Pro membership of Dropbox so I could use the service for my important documents, and registered for SmartWare Pro, so I am pretty desperate about this. I have tried resetting the computer, resetting the hard drive, logging in and out of Dropbox… To no avail.
Anyone has any suggestions or is having the same problem?
