Hello everyone. I currently am in a situation where I have a server or drive stores and it a goal to move many of my team members over to Box as a medium to long term solution with the benefit of sharing content with external users and member outside my organization. Often, I have to true up our server to the Box hosted materials and in the past with other services, I used Beyond Compare version 5+ and licensed to complete this task. The tool loads my Box shares and does compare or attempts to compare against my data stores. However, the desktop tool will crash or disconnect from Box when the comparison tool either reaches a theoretical limit on inquires or time. I cannot determine which one it is.
I will tell Beyond Compare sync to Box (Drive to Box desktop), so it pushes the content to the cloud. If it goes slow, and in chunks I usually get a long list of folders and files and the tool will copy to the temp doc's folder, and then auto sync at its own pace. But If attempt to compare large counts of folders I will get an error from Box stating “Unable to Open Folder, <Folder name is listed, please try again.” I have to pause any comparison and wait a few minutes and restart the comparison.
I this a security measure to reduce potential exfiltration of data, reduce I/O requests on the system, a limitation on the desktop app, or other.
I am aware of server service level Box application but that is a blind copy or sync feature. I would like to monitor the 1 to 1 folder to look for potential issues with the structure or files that I am uploading.
