File Sharing between Groove clients

[john bornholt]

We have a corporate Groove 2007 setup where we share workspaces. Mobile/home
workers want to also use it synchronise their notebook and home desktop using
the File Sharing option in Groove. Will Groove keep a copy of these file
shares on the corporate server as well, or is it just a local syncronisation
in this case and nothing goes through the server?

Groove does not keep any workspace content on servers. In the case of a
transfer that uses the Relay server, the content is on the Relay server only
until it can be transfered to its destination.

In the case of a single-member workspace (which I assume is what these File
Sharing workspaces would be), the Relay server is not used as a store and
forward device. This means the user will need to be logged on to Groove on
both computers at the same time in order for data to transfer.
