Gobbler and DP
Posted: Tue Jun 18, 2013 2:09 pm
Have to say. In our rooms and outlying buildings here, we are extremely pleased at how we integrating Gobbler with DP8. https://www.gobbler.com
It has solved a big age old problem for us. We are using it to shuffle all our work between staff and between clients and thus far it has worked seamlessly. Notes on the files sent and rec'd can also be applied easily. And it is fast !!!They have developed some way to do much faster that ftp speed up and down transfers and it automatically lets you know when files are up, and when and by whom they have been downloaded. Encryption scheme seems really tight.
One other cool feature is you can turn on 'scan' on individual drives, and then when you arent working in DP, it'll back up to your personal GB area of Gobbler space. (yes it knows when DP isnt active) I dont know that we will use that the auto backup all that much as we have 3 backup sets including one that is vaulted and protected in media safes on and off site. BUt for those folks wishing offline storage it seems a nice added bonus.
The only so far that we might need to see tweaked better is the up/down speeds of video files. As I understand it, they have thus far been tweaking everything for the audio community and will expand further into video.
So far, I would have to guess that Gobbler is saving us at least a few hours of work and headaches from managing our transfers a week, and that makes it well worth the small fees.
They do have some cool videos on their site that explain most of the stuff pretty well.
