Creative work.
WHAT IS DIFFERENT
File sizes are large Synchronisation consumes bandwidth heavily Local performance matters for editing
WHAT THAT MEANS
Working directly from cloud storage can be slow.
WHAT MANY PEOPLE DO
Work locally, synchronise finished work.
WHAT TO CONFIGURE
Selective synchronisation, so not everything downloads to every device Transfer scheduling, outside working hours where possible
THE BANDWIDTH POINT
A large project synchronising saturates upload and degrades everything else, including calls.
WHAT TO ESTABLISH
Where the authoritative copy lives How versions are handled Who may delete
THE DELETION POINT
In synchronised storage, one person's deletion removes it for everyone.
Restrict deletion where the material matters.
WHAT TO BACK UP
Finished work and source files, separately from the synchronisation.
WHAT TO ARCHIVE
Completed projects, to cheaper storage.
WHAT TO CHECK
Retrieval cost and time, before archiving.
