[Qgis-user] Saving qgs project file takes forever on VPN - no problem with data

[John Harrop]

Is the VPN doing the locking or QGIS?  We used QGIS with shapefile data over Dropbox and had a few conflicts with accidental multiple editors.  We now enforce read only to everyone except the directory owner (using Dropbox to enforce).  That has worked fine.

I have fairly slow saves, but I must admit its getting to be a big project.  Smaller ones (also on Dropbox) are fine.  But Dropbox should appear to QGIS as local files with the synchronization going on in the background.

Regards,

John

There are 3 people all working on one project, we plan to do it in turns, what happens if we make a mistake and try to open the main project or edit some of the layers on the server two people at the same time via vpn (we are physically in different parts of the country).
