Comment on Google Drive misplaces months' worth of customer files
BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 10 months agoI know for a fact that Google scans everything, including zip files, and WILL delete things they deem a problem.
I tried to store my own, paid for, copies of software, like office. Google deleted it. OK, I’ll zip and password protect. Nope, scanned, deleted. Never bothered trying to encrypt first, just moved on from Google.
Now with tools like Resilio, Syncthing, and Tailscale, cloud holds little value other than backup.

I really like Resilio a lot, after lots of issues with other sync software, it’s made for an excellent personal cloud.

I like Resilio, especially the selective sync feature. Unfortunately because it keeps the file index in ram, it kills my phone with my media share. It also uses a lot of resources on my Windows machine.
Syncthing doesn’t have this performance hit, but… It doesn’t have selective sync.
Sigh.
So I use both for different purposes, with Resilio not running by default.
