Using selective sync for only needed folders helps maintain performance. Overall efficiency depends on folder structure, client resources, and the environment.
FAQ: Recommended Folder/File Sync Limits in bZs V2
Q: Is there a maximum number of folders or files recommended for syncing in bZs?
A: While there is no strict maximum number of files or folders, performance can be affected by deep folder structures, large folder counts, and long file paths. Users may experience slower sync speeds or missing files in subfolders with very large numbers of items.
Q: How can I manage performance with large folders?
A:
-
Size Thresholds: In bZs V2, you can configure a size threshold for folder synchronization. Any new folder exceeding this threshold (shared or personal) will not sync automatically and must be manually selected using selective sync.
-
Folder Depth Limit: The Desktop App has a built-in limit of 100 subdirectory levels. Any folder structure deeper than this will not sync beyond that point.
-
Selective Sync: Sync only the folders you actively need to reduce performance issues, though this may require adjusting user expectations.
Tip: For best results, avoid deep folder hierarchies, keep folder counts manageable, and use selective sync for very large libraries.
