Overview
The Content Insight report presents a breakdown of the data for the job, including a file size breakdown that can be used to understand transfer performance. In addition to a summary of the size and file type breakdowns, the screen identifies the count for different file extensions, folder depth groupings, and modified date groupings. Where applicable, SkySync will use the content modified date when supported by a given platform. This ensures accurate modified date timestamps when viewing the Content Insights charts. You can click on any item category and view the items for that category.
SkySync uses standard base-2 conversion for transfer values. Only transferred content counts towards the licensed Transfer Limit (bytes under management). Simulation Jobs do not count towards the licensed transfer limit until they are converted to jobs and actually transfer data.
