QuickPlace Offline: Large File Solution for Unreliable Networks

The QuickPlace offline feature is an ideal way to deal with slow or unreliable internet connections.

(PRWEB) August 25, 2006 -- Today, the QuickPlace offline feature is an ideal way to deal with slow or unreliable internet connections. QuickPlace offline works by downloading a full replica of the QuickPlace to the local computer (workstation or laptop) and then operating disconnected from the internet. Users can then schedule or use the automatic schedule to synchronize to the server on the internet. So, this means they are immune from any internet disruptions while working. Users can upload or attach as many large files as they like and because they are working locally, the speed is as fast as the computer can handle.

After users have finished working, they can start the synchronization process and leave the computer do all the hard work. It uses a very solid approach to synchronization that ensures the information is broken up into small enough chunks to get through any type of connection. It will then assemble them at the other end and retry any part that did not work (without having to start uploading from the very start). This process can take as long as it needs and does not require users to wait for any progress bars or retry any uploads.

So, if users have to work with very large attachments and their internet connection gets clogged and need another solution rather than "retry later", they can use QuickPlace offline to work and synchronize to share the files with their team. To work offline, they just need to click "work offline" from the QuickPlace (ProjectLounge Premium and above) and follow the instructions. ProjectLounge has already done all the hard work on the server side to make sure it "just works."
