I run two crews with Trimble robots and Access on Trimble Yuma2 tablets.?ÿ I often need to send a different crew on a job and it's becoming a full time job keeping track of which job is on which DC.?ÿ I'm looking for a way to keep the two data collectors synced or alternatively, an automated way to ensure that both are dumping jobs and exported coordinate files to a common directory. I've tried Trimble's Access Sync but it just doesnt do a good job for my work flow.
What is the operating system on the Yuma? With Windows PC tablets, Google drive works very well at syncing to the cloud and other PC's.?ÿ
I only have one tablet, but I use Google Drive (now Google File Stream for business accounts).?ÿ You can share different folders with people to sync the data to multiple recipients.?ÿ Also, on the DC side of things, you can choose to only sync specific folders, so you are not syncing your entire Google Drive.?ÿ It has worked well for me.?ÿ As you said, Trimble Access Sync didn't really fit my workflow.
Trimble Access and Dropbox both have quirks about where their folder can be located (Access) and named (Dropbox) that make it difficult to completely automate the process.?ÿ?ÿ
For now I've created a basic Dropbox account with a single folder that both DC's have access to.?ÿ All active jobs live in the Dropbox folder and are moved into the Trimble directory while on the job then moved back to Dropbox when leaving. A bit cumbersome,?ÿ but I won't have to worry about Access Sync giving me files that are weeks out of date when I move a job between DC's.
