And the upload?

Just for fun.

Try on an 8 machine.

For goodness sake, slap the user for treating file history as a backup.

The pricing is wildly off sadly as it uses Ebay as the first pricing link, then Amazon second.

1TB Samsung 850 Pro SSD.

My OneDrive for business data downloads onto my desktop too and all data is backed up on my desktop to a proper cloud backup provider.

So I have 2 copies of my data and a true backup.

Do you have a fancy PDF brochure and a nice PPT presentation stating that your solution is high performance and wonderful?

People would rather pay more for a riskier solution if how it is packaged is appealing to them.

Education is 1 thing and works for some leadership types but others just want a flat quick guarantee of "Will this be the right thing, sell it to me" and you don't have much time to do that.

I can't find RMDtech anywhere online.

Pretty much any rep of any company works with a disclaimer, that sounds along the lines of "Any opinions expressed in this communication are not necessarily those of the company".

Any lawyer who has half a brain cell has proven in court that those email disclaimers are worth nothing. I admire the companies who still use them though.

I looked to, doesn't appear to even have a website.

Or even a companies house registration.

Speaking of storage ...did the new licensing model for AetherStore come out yet?

Not heard anything yet

Still waiting to hear news. Version 2 is going to be amazing though.

Let's make it clear, this is assuming no corporate management or endpoint on the devices. The only place you are allowed to make changes is the LAN or WAN. Not the client machines.

The Pro version now offers SSL support

Security should be part of the product. I know the price difference is tiny but It's never great when a company charges more for the security of their clients.

I definitely understand where you're coming from, but I think there have actually been a lot of Synergy users over the years who really haven't been concerned...And since they're providing a for-profit service, it's not out of the ordinary at all for them to charge extra for it.

As a technology company, is it right to charge any of your customers more for the ability to stay safe and secure? Regardless if the customer is aware of such a feature.

The ONLY difference between the editions is SSL and Helpdesk, 0 feature differences, helpdesk is a big expense in labour so justifiably a higher cost...SSL on the other hand is just a way of getting more money. Instead of highlighting the added value of pro support, they sent a message which says, for most of our customers, we don't care about their safety or security.

A friend of mine was coming for a week in May and Spiceworld was part of the visit...A lot of us do plan months in advance including flights.

Some are good, some are bad, read reviews and descriptions before buying a course.

Since Dara IT was started this has been a question that has been in my mind for awhile.

If we offer training, should it be free or paid?

The training has to meet 3 criteria:

• It needs to be high quality. A poor training resource helps no one.
• We must fulfil a need that is not being met. It has to have value
• The training must be self sustaining for the time/effort that goes into it.

Because we want it to meet a certain quality level & be self sustaining, it eliminates the ability of providing detailed training as it is a big investment to pull it off.

So with that in mind, thinking of publishing courses on different topics on Udemy.com which does bring a lot of benefits, so this thread is a general question of, what would you guys be looking for in terms of training and what would that training be worth to you?

Dam why is pay day so far away!

I've had Pertino cause so many network issues with a large number of different services, It is a completely undependable product. They do some REALLY screwy stuff under the hood to hijack traffic.

Look into these guys. Way better designed product.

Hey Sn,

I'm doing a lot of work with these guys at the moment. One of the owners is based in Australia so could be a great fit.

Small team, really committed, I can PM you with details if you like.

When you send an email through 365, you don't send it from your phone, the email is sent over HTTPs to Microsoft and their servers then send it.

Yeah, that's a shame.

I'd be loathe to cripple their upload personally. Especially with DropBox syncs happening at the same time. Hmm...

I'd be tempted to look into a NextCloud deployment where you have an onsite server and a hosted server, the onsite server has all the data stored and then syncs with the hosted server. So there's just 1 device passing files rather than everyone. Then backup the hosted server onto BackBlaze B2.

I've not done NextCloud deployments so this might not be possible.

And to continue that on, each client gets like 5% of the tech because they are usually swamped with more work then they can handle. Yet to see an MSP in the UK get the model right, so many compromises are made and the client suffers as a result.
