Upload and Sync's impact on hard drive space?

Collegiate Wesley

If we choose the Upload and Sync option, is that image or video actually downloaded to each user's computer? Or, do users only essentially get a thumbnail of each image, with the actual image/video file being downloaded only when needed?

I've got several GB of motion videos and images I'd love to upload and sync for our users, but obviously I don't want to use up their hard drive space.

Thanks!

Hi, Tim. Opening a presentation will download locally all of the pieces of media in that presentation. Media items not included in that presentation (e.g. items in your "Group Uploads" in the Media Browser) will not be synced unless they're being currently used. Other members of your group will be able to view any items you have uploaded to your group and be able to add them into their presentations (this is where they will be downloaded to the user's local machine). So upload away!
