Cloud sync allows you to copy content to cloud storage accounts, for backup as well as archiving in multiple resolutions.
When content is archived in multiple resolutions, Emby apps will automatically choose the version that is most efficient for them. This will help relieve stress on your internet connection as well as your server's CPU. Apps will browse the content through your Emby Server as normal, but will stream from the cloud during playback.
Cloud Sync is currently available for:
- Drop box
- Google Drive
