I want to move my itunes and photos onto dropbox and so we're talking about approx 50Gb of data. I'd rather initially copy the data via USB drive or over home network across the different machines (3) and have dropbox keep them synced from then onwards, therefore avoiding 50Gb upload to DB and then 100Gb download to two other machines.
If I were to exit DB on all machines and copy the itunes directory to the same place in each of the three machines' DB folder , what would happen when DB restarts? Will it try to upload, compare & then download all three sets of data or will it hopefully just say file exists, same timestamp, nothing to do here?
If not, any ideas on how I can do this? I know I will have to let it upload the data to DB.
TIA
