Who this is for
- You treat your Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox as the working copy and want a separate backup somewhere durable.
- Your important folders live in a workspace provider, but your disaster-recovery plan is “we hope it stays there.”
- You’ve tried to remember to export a folder on the first of every month and given up by month three.
Cloud storage is not a backup plan
A single cloud drive holds the live copy. Sync isn’t backup — a deletion, a ransomware run, or a billing lapse takes the destination down with it. A real backup lives somewhere else, on a different account, ideally on a different provider.
Manual exports work once. They don’t survive a busy quarter. The folder you forgot to export is the one you’ll wish you had.
How it’ll work
- Connect the source — Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Nextcloud, or another provider.
- Connect the destination — S3-compatible storage is the common choice; Drive, Dropbox, and others work too.
- Pick a schedule — daily, weekly, or continuous.
- Let the schedule run. Each run only moves what changed since the last one.
Where the transfer actually executes — our servers, your browser tab, or a server you own — is a choice you make once. The homepage walks through the three options.
A schedule that actually runs
Set it once and the job runs on its own — daily snapshots, weekly workspace copies, a continuous mirror of a critical project. The schedule keeps the backup current. You stop being the cron job.
Only what changed
Each run compares the source against the last successful backup and copies only what’s new or changed. The first run moves everything. Every run after that moves a fraction — fast, predictable, and cheap to store.
A report after every run
When a run finishes you get a structured report: what copied, what was skipped, what failed. Keep it as the audit trail. If something failed, re-run only the failed items instead of redoing the whole job.
Common pairs
S3-compatible storage is the most common backup destination — durable, cheap at rest, decoupled from your working provider. The same job can also write to a second cloud drive or a Nextcloud / your-server target you control.
- Google Drive → S3-compatible storage
- OneDrive → S3-compatible storage
- Dropbox → S3-compatible storage
- Nextcloud → S3-compatible storage
- Google Drive → Dropbox
