Synchronisation

For the moment, I have left synchronisation of the pictures I take on my telephone with OneDrive on; it is convenient and I have yet to see a bill for the increased line traffic thereby incurred.

Sometimes it happens quite quickly, but overnight seems to be more usual. So the synchroniser gets cracking when we have mostly gone to bed and all that fibre optic band width is sitting there more or less idle. A sensible use of resources. Which last night amounted to six snaps of the same objects, about 25Mb worth. Maybe I will remember to check when it is sixty snaps, a not unusual rate of snapping when we are on holiday - a time when we are apt to be relying on the BT fon service for computer connection, rather than the far superior service we get at home. So that might be another bottleneck.

A down side of all this is that the telephone is kept busy overnight too, servicing requests from the synchroniser, with the result that what was a fully charged battery when I went to bed is now only half charged.

PS: fon no longer seems to be the brand name of the moment with BT. The word is recognised but not majored on. See reference 1.
