Chunked transfers
Every file travels as a series of small pieces, so a hiccup costs you seconds instead of the whole upload.

Stop 01 · Sync, one hop at a time
Sync that travels in small hops, never one giant leap
Sync files in small hops so nothing gets stuck mid-journey.

- Half-synced files left behind
Big syncs fail in the middle. Stop by Stop Sync cuts every change into small chunks, delivers each chunk to the next stop, and checks it off before moving on. If your connection drops between stops, the trip picks up exactly where it paused, and the pieces that already arrived stay put.
On board
What you get at this stop
Resume at the last stop
Close the lid, lose the Wi-Fi, switch networks. Sync continues from the last verified chunk, not from zero.
Change-only uploads
Edit one slide in a large deck and only the changed pieces ride along, saving time and bandwidth.
Conflict copies, not overwrites
If two devices edit the same file, both versions are kept and the newer one is clearly marked for you to review.
Bandwidth limits
Cap upload and download speed during work hours and let sync run at full speed overnight.
Choose what each device syncs
Keep the full archive on your desktop and only the current projects on your phone or travel laptop.

Questions about Stop by Stop Sync
What happens if my connection drops halfway through a big file?
Nothing is lost. The chunks that already arrived are kept, and sync resumes from the last verified chunk as soon as you are back online.
Will sync slow down my video calls?
It does not have to. Set an upload cap for working hours and Stop by Stop Sync stays within it, then speeds up when you lift the cap.
Can I sync only some folders to my phone?
Yes. Each device has its own list of folders, so a phone can carry just the essentials while your desktop keeps everything.
