Cloud Storage Testing

Topic

New Reply

After testing some of the free versions of desktop cloud storage software I’ve narrowed my selection down to a few options before putting out money for a paid version. Three I’m leaning towards are Sync.com, pCloud, and Google Drive.

My reason for including Google Drive is not it’s encryption policy but because you can add files/folders located in different locations and when changes are made in those original locations they are reflected in Google Drive. Not sure what this process is called.

Most other cloud Desktop applications seem to need your files/folders copied to their one single location otherwise any changes made outside of that location don’t get updated to the cloud.

Even the encryption app Cryptomator, which I was going to use in conjunction with Google Drive, works from one location so it kind of defeats my purpose for using Google Drive

What I’m hoping to find is a quality cloud storage option that works like Google Drive so I don’t need to re-locate my data that I plan to store in the cloud.

Thanks in advance

What do you mean “different locations”?

Have you tried Synqion (known as TeamDrive outside the US)?
Zero knowledge encrypted cloud store and share.

Different locations such as a folder on my D: drive and another on E: drive all being drives not partitions on one drive.

I’ll have a look at Synqion

Thanks….

How are you attempting to store the data in the cloud? Is it a backup copy / synchronized store?

To manage that I would use Karen’s Replicator. Create jobs to copy files from each disk to a specific folder in the cloud.

Mainly I’m using the cloud as a backup storage. I’ll look into your idea of Replicator. I think I still have the last version they put out.

I guess I could just upload my data to a folder in the cloud as you stated.

 

Thanks….
