I have a user with 33GB 21135 directories and 167198 files of data. Sync on the laptop with the desktop client (3.0.3, macOS) is extremely slow and crashes multiple times without any error. It takes especially long for the ‘Checking for changes in remote’ step to finish. Are there any recommendatio…

So the logs are not catching why it crashes? What is the last thing before the crash? A long time ago, I tried how much I could speed up the upload of a large number of files: Upload performance OC 8.2.1 (50 mysql queries per file) opened 1…
