Optimize File Access for India Office -- 3
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
We are headquartered in Europe, where our primary 16 TB Samba file server is hosted on Hetzner Cloud (Debian VM) . This server is mapped as a network drive for approximately 35 users in our European office.
Recently, we established a new office in India, which is connected to our European infrastructure via a site-to-site VPN. Currently, 8 users in the indian office have the same Hetzner-hosted file server mapped as a network drive on their PCs. However, due to high latency (150–170 ms between india and Hetzner), they are experiencing significant delays when accessing files.
The users in india only require access to a few specific folders (around 4 TB in total). We are looking for an efficient solution to improve their file access experience — ideally something that allows real-time or near real-time synchronization of those folders locally in india .
If you have any suggestions or solutions that could help — especially for folder-specific sync or caching — we would greatly appreciate your input.
NB: We don't use Active Directory or Entra. and the file server contains mostly Adobe, Autodesk, Microsoft files.
