Speeding Up Google Uploads on a Mac

• #1

And so I accept embarked on the process of uploading my eighty GB+ library to the deject, just the upload speed is between 50 KB/s and 1,5 MB/south. My upload bandwidth is 100 Mbit/s. Are the Apple servers slow because of all the traffic, or am I doing something wrong?

• #two

Mine's fifty-fifty slower, between 200KB to 1MB/sec. I suspect all the new users are flooding Apple tree's servers. Information technology was likely going to have days to upload anyhow.

Likewise, most broadband in America has a slower upload speed than download. My upload speed is 5Mbps, which equals 625KB/sec upload tops. Information technology's going to take a very long time.

Mine says "Updating.." Pretty sure it should be uploading with a progress bar right?

• #5

OK... yesterday night I wrote to Tim Cook complaining about the speed (or lack of...).
I simply got an e-mail and a phone call from his PR office, we will talk back when I go back at domicile. Is in that location whatever question I should ask in your opinion?

Same issue it's ho-hum every bit hell.
I have a 40gig photo library to upload and information technology seemed to get-go out ok uploaded a cpl of hundred photos merely now it'southward merely not doing anything.
if I open up a browser window & login to iCloud go to photos & hit the upload icon then select a bunch of random photos from the media tab information technology uploads them at a decent rate (for my connexion) and I can see a progress bar but if I go to preferences in photos I just run into the greyness bar with 'uploading **** items' and the button to pause for one twenty-four hour period.

My net isn't the fastest, but even so the upload speed is incredibly deadening. I accept a 200gb library (roughly 29,000 photos and 1,000 videos) and have been uploading ever since the total version of photos came out. I've only uploaded nigh iii,500 photos and 250 videos in that fourth dimension, which makes me think it may take over 1 month to completely upload my library. It's crazy.

My internet isn't the fastest, merely still the upload speed is incredibly slow. I have a 200gb library (roughly 29,000 photos and 1,000 videos) and have been uploading always since the full version of photos came out. I've only uploaded about 3,500 photos and 250 videos in that time, which makes me think it may accept over 1 month to completely upload my library. It's crazy.

Does the residual of your Internet bog down when uploading? I find surfing very hard when uploading and if I turn on my Television set and effort to stream Netflix, it doesn't piece of work. I e'er have to close off the upload, watch my plan and then start up the upload again. I have Time Warner, 22mb/sec downwardly, 2.5mb/sec upwards, but under the Network Tab (on my Mac) in the Activity Mgr, it shows only a steady 350kb/sec upload. I started with 12000 photos about a week agone, and am now downward to 2500 to upload, but I decided not to try and upload my videos and just exported them out of Photos to a different identify on my hard drive. Not ideal, but figured they were going to hold up the works forever.

Yep, it does tend to ho-hum downwardly the internet, although non consistently. Sometimes it seems fine and other times it'due south bad. Jason Snell wrote about information technology on his blog a while back.

Cheers for that link. Idea possibly I was crazy or some thing. I'one thousand trying to upload on my iPad as well and it started and then just stopped. Hasn't done a thing for a few hours. Not sure what that is all about. Seemed to slow down my network some, but and so suddenly my network went dorsum to full speed and I noticed that my photos were no longer uploading via the iPad. No idea what that is all virtually. Me thinks, this is not ready for prime time.

My other business organization is that if I determine to dump this whole idea and plough off iPhoto library, what happens and so? Will it automatically delete all my photos on all devices and then I have to redownload 12000 photos? I selected originally to store originals on my Mac in the Photos library, only I don't think that means they stay there, does it? In other words, if I turn off iPhoto library, won't it tell me that all my photos will be deleted and I have to redownload them? Are they however accessible through iPhoto or is that library in iPhoto actually now the Photos library and will be gone if I turn off Photos library?

My speed is near 150 to 450 KBPS. Not pleasant when you need to upload 30GB of data.

Happened to me too. Yous demand to reset it.

How practice y'all reset it?

Agreed. I have almost thirty GB, and information technology'due south going to accept a long time. (I've been uploading since 10.0.three was in public beta - about 30,000 files, and just passed the one/iii bespeak. Finally have fewer than 20,000 to upload.)

• #eighteen

Update: I was off past a zero. 300 GB, not xxx. That would explicate why information technology's taking so long!
