ADVANCED - Multicloud

- All CacheDrives that map to at least one share under this pool will be displayed on this page.
- When uploading a file, the CacheDrive will upload to the primary storage, immediately followed by uploading to the secondary storage.
- After completing the upload to both storages, the file can be downloaded from the destination CacheDrive's primary storage. If downloading from the destination CacheDrive's primary storage is not successful, the file will then be downloaded from its secondary storage.
- Defer Upload to Secondary
- “Defer upload to secondary” will upload files to the primary storage first but will defer uploading to the secondary storage.
- After a file has been uploaded to the primary storage, the file can be downloaded to the destination CacheDrive from the storage which has the files, even though this storage is not the destination CacheDrive's primary storage.
- After all files in the queue have been uploaded to the primary storage, CacheDrive will start uploading to the secondary storage.
- Defer Upload to Secondary only works for sync shares.
