Calculate upload duration - how to get the value

When uploading, you upload a file, for example, to share it with someone. This can take anywhere from a few seconds to several hours to upload, so it's good to know in advance how much time you'll need to take.

How to calculate the duration of your upload

If you want to upload a file, the duration of the upload depends on several factors. For example, especially with larger amounts of data, it is advantageous if you have a high bandwidth. Otherwise, it may well happen that an upload sometimes takes a day to be completely executed. It is also advisable to exchange larger amounts of data over a LAN connection, as this is both faster and more stable. So ask yourself the following questions in advance to get a suitable result for the duration of your upload:

• How is my bandwidth? Keep in mind that the download speed is always higher than the upload speed. If you are not sure about this, then you can find numerous providers on the Internet where you can perform a "speed test" to find out the upload speed.
• What is the amount of data to be uploaded? Diese wird Ihnen für gewöhnlich in den Eigenschaften der jeweiligen Datei angezeigt.
• Verfügen Sie nun über diese Informationen, dann können Sie auf den Websites verschiedener Anbieter diese Daten eingeben und anschließend eine treffende Dauer für Ihren Upload erfahren.
• So bieten etwa Rechner-Online oder auch Felix Mössbauer entsprechende Upload-Rechner an, die Sie kostenfrei nutzen können.
