ryryonline Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I am a big fan of having backups to the cloud in case of fire, theft, act of the almighty, etc. Therefore, I believe that irreplaceable files, such as photos, should be stored in the Cloud. While there is already a Dropbox docker, I would love to see a plugin that will let you specify User Shares to be backed up to Amazon Cloud Drive (not S3) or Google Drive (and Google Photos). For example, the plugin screen would allow me to choose my services and enter credentials (Google Drive, Amazon Cloud Drive, Dropbox, etc). Then I would go in a User Share, check the services I want to use to put in the cloud, and what folder they would be stored in. The plugin would then keep that share in sync with each service specified. There are already a couple of FUSE services for Linux that handle the syncing (ocamlfuse, acd_fuse). If they are tested successfully, I couldn't see the interface being too tough. However, I'm not a coder nor do I have time to learn, but this would be amazing. Quote Link to comment

kizer Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 So to make sure I understand your request since you have my attention too. For example you would create a "Cloud" share and every time you put something in that "Cloud" share it would sync with a service of your choosing? Quote Link to comment

Barry Staes Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I'd use it. I'd really have a local copy to go back to. Another question: could this folder (user share) even be versioned, perhaps using another plugin? Quote Link to comment
jonp Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Yeah, we could probably do this. Good idea! Quote Link to comment
tr0910 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Implement rsnapshot this way to have all versions of a file stored. Crashplan and it's problems could go by bye. Quote Link to comment
twok Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 sounds like an great idea. Quote Link to comment
