Did AutoDesk miss a key portion of Project Sync, or did I?

Does anyone know if there is a way to only sync the files that have been changed in the past 24 hours to the cloud?  Or is there a work around that would let us sync on lifecycle transition?  I have not found that functionality and it seems to me like this should be a MUST have for collaboration.  We have several engineers working on projects all day every day and I do not see a clean way to only upload the data that has changed each day.  All I have found is either we have to depend on each engineer to manually push each and every file they change to the cloud or push entire project folders which can contain over 100,000 parts.  Surely there must be a simpler way to only push the files that are changed???

 

Any input is greatly appreciated?

Yes, that was what I was asking.  If you go to C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Vault Professional 2019\Explorer, you should see some files that are GUID based for their names.  Here is an example of the file I am talking about: 

4bc61c6e-6b28-4cbc-8b73-a6b4d054ceafJobProcessor.log

These files are the Job Processor logs (for 2019).  Is there anything in them that shed some light on your problem?  I am hoping Younes will be able to touch base with you as well.

 

Thanks,

Jim

Hi James, 

 

Thank you for the suggestion.  I have found several interesting things in the files you mentioned.  That being said I did have a nice conversation with Younes today and we found a couple ways for me to continue testing which I would like to explore to help determine the best path forward.

 

Younes helped me set up some file paths to make smaller syncs (previously I was attempting to sync a folder with several sub folders containing 110,000 files).  Him and I tested a very small folder containing only 76 files and it was fast and worked perfectly.  

 

I will continue to update this thread as I progress.  Thank you again to everyone who has helped so far, it is greatly appreciated.
