does Apollo handle synchronization of images (.dmg) efficiently? As an example: will it copy a 500MB large dmg over the network to the Apollo-device, if I only change a bit within one of the dmg-files? 

 

Will Apollo host my iphone's photos and delete the fotos on my iphone, such that I will significanty reduce storage-usage on my iphone? Or will the Apollo-foto functionality just "copy" my photos to the server and than keep it in sync with my iphone?

Hi Alex,

1) You will need to enable camera Rolls in Apollo utility to synch all your photos & videos  from Iphone or Ipad and Apollo cloud device has 1Gb port in the unit. Well if you upload large file more than 1Gb in the unit it splits the data into small Packets and upload the files Also  Based on the internet speed files will be uploaded

2) Yes Apllo will host the Iphone photos in the utility and files will not be deleted in the iphone Also Apollo will have copy of photos. If you want to delete the photos from iphone please make sure camera rolls feature is disabled in the Apollo utility.

 

Regards

Hari

Thank you. So, Apollo does not help to reduce storage size on the phone. That is not the idea of cloud. Cloud is not about synching, cloud is about remote-storage with remote access.

Thanks for your help, I mainly wanted to have the appollo to have a solution of storage on my devices and still be able to access all photos.

So, I can "move" all photos to Appollo (switch camera-roll on, wait until in sync, than disable the roll and than delete all photos on the iphone. However, each new foto will NOT be transferred to the Apollo without manual action. Right?

 

I DO NOT SEE ANY VALID USE CASE FOR THAT AT ALL. THE BACKUP FUNCTIONALITY OF IPHONE WITH ITUNES DOES EXACTLY THE SAME.

 

Even worse. If I open the Apollo APP on the iphone and do access one of those synched fotos, the APP will access the foto via internet by connecting to my Apollo????? That is really incredibly stupid, given the fact, that all Fotos are still on the phone anyway. I suppose, if I mark one of those fotos, that still reside on my phone, as a "favourite" in the Apollo APP and than it is downloaded into the Apollo APP???? That's getting now more absurd. 

 

Please tell me I am wrong:-)

 

 

Haha, even more funny. It is not even a Sync. It is a pure Copy one way. If I delete fotos on the iphone or if I delete a photo on the Apollo cloud, this "delete" is not carried out on the other device. That means, totally inconsistent status after a while.
