So you don't waste your upload bandwidth uploading stuff that is already there.Īnother feature that I saw the dropbox team is working on is to make dropbox to detect another instances of dropbox running on your local network, and sync the information in between them.
So, for instance, if you upload your pgpdisk file with 2GB to dropbox, and then you change just let's say 100MB of this 2GB, dropbox will be intelligent enough to detect and update only what have changed. For example, if you have an unique file weighting 2GB, let's say for an encrypted disk drive you hold (like when you use truecrypt or pgpdisk), and you change just a couple of files inside the encrypted disk, dropbox will only upload the blocks that effectively changed. It's also important to highlight that it doesn't upload your whole file at once when you change it.
