Question
Huddle Desktop App - Synced Folders or Network Storage
Hello,
I hope this community can help clarify how the Huddle Desktop app works.
I was invited to a Huddle platform by my employer and I’m using my personal computer (the company does not provide computers).
Naturally, I’m concerned about adding software to my personal computer.
- How does the Desktop App function? Does it integrate into Mac’s Finder so that I’m able to browse files like a network storage drive?
- Do I have to access files via a standalone app?
- Does the app create a local folder on my computer that is then synced to the Huddle platform?
- If I’m invited to multiple workspaces, are the files associated with those workspaces downloaded (synced) to my local drive?
I’m asking because I have limited space on my personal computer and am concerned that if the app uses sync technology, it will eat up valuable hard drive space on my machine.
Lastly, I’m working on professional design software like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Premier Pro where files often get into the 1TB size (and I don’t mean a folder with multiple files that add up to 1+ TB. I mean a single editable video or design file that is 1TB or larger). Will these file sizes pose an issue for the desktop app or sync technology?
Thank you for your help.
