Hi,

Are there any plans to use Remote Differential Compression (RDC) on Windows to speed up file synchronisation?

Basically, RDC enables an application to only synchronize changed parts of files instead of copying the whole file. This might speed up syncs in general and especially when syncing virtual machine files (vhdx, vmdk etc.).

RDC is described at Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_Differential_Compression) and of course at Microsoft (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa373254.aspx).

Cheers,
