Hi Sudhir, I've experimented with Google Drive and local encryption software like CryptSync and others. That made the data structure on the local PC quite complicated. I could not use that for inexperienced PC users. Above I could generate a lot of conflicts that were sometimes difficult to resolve. Maybe ownCloud can do better.
At Google drive it's impossible to replace a file with the same file that has on older modification date. This can happen in case of restoring files with the original one's. Also opening .xls files can change the result into a newer modification date. At the local PC the modification date will return to the original value after closing without changing. In Google Drive the original modification will never come back. At Google drive I have also seen remains from conflicts, remains that should not be there. I would first test data integrity and conflict handling with max. 1GB. The next resolvable issue is an example of how things can go wrong at too many download interrupts. https://github.com/owncloud/mirall/issues/1949 Anyhow the Google Drive storage sounds attractive. Good luck.

Server side encryption should keep data safe. Before I start uploading 100 gb, what are your experiences with it? Thanks, Sudhir. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ User mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.owncloud.org/mailman/listinfo/user
