4.9 Desktop Considerations

4.9.1 Memory Usage

Initial desktop memory usage testing has yielded the following results:

  • Basic Memory Tests

    • 0 Files: 55 MB

    • 20 Files: 59 MB

    • 1,600 Files: 142 MB

  • Estimates Based on Tests

    • 10,000 Files: 599 MB

    • 25,000 Files: 1.4 GB

    • 50,000 Files: 2.7 GB

4.9.2 Caveats

  • Re-indexing on the server might cause files to be re-downloaded to the desktop.

    If you are using two Filr Search appliances, re-indexing the appliances at separate times prevents the clients from re-downloading all their data.

  • Renaming local files that have been shared causes the shares to be deleted.
