DropBox API Performance Report

Performance Results – MySite##

(OneDrive, DropBox, Box, & Drive)

 

This Report summarizes the results of the performance test done on the 4 cloud services (OneDrive, DropBox, Box, and Drive).  

 

The purpose of this Report is to present it to people so they know what to expect when using one or more of the cloud services with MySite## Web Server.

 

This test was performed using MySite## web server. MySite## displays photos and videos stored in the cloud service(s). The Download function of this website downloads files stored on cloud services and builds a menu driven website that displays photos and videos. You need not know anything about website development and everything can be done from a smart phone or tablet. 

 

There are 3 Performance Beds defined (Small, Medium, & Large). Only the Small (Bed1 Set1 & Set2) is reported in this report.

  • Bed1Set1 – Photos - 2Gb
