Alternative to OneDrive

Hello,

OneDrive does sync well with offline files but unfortunately Windows 10 (I suppose through the new update) automatically sets all my files to share on OneDrive, which means I have to manually set all the files I don't want to upload to "Always keep on this device."

I create large media files and related digital production platform files, so OneDrive makes for a very unwieldly workflow, not to mention that Microsoft 365 does not work well on more than one machine (account sync errors are a constant.)

That said, I moving out of the Microsoft Office ecosystem and to a platform that is more attuned to modern cloud tech. Unfortunately, Microsoft is a decade or so behind in this regard.

Thanks,

DC

Thanks but the Office backup solution doesn't work for me because I am using two computers to create documents and files. This wouldn't be an issue if Microsoft could figure out a way for users to use Office on more than one computer. Maybe someday....

Dear DavidCumminsYB,

I am Renzo, as an Independent Advisor and Office user, I'll help you with your question.

There are a lot of tools to sync files to their own clouds the best are(Google Drive and DropBox) but to be really honest, for me OneDrive it's much better.

I have over 6 terabytes of media files for multiple projects and growing. I them backed up on multiple drives, including RAID 5 Drive and on Verbatim BDXL M Disks for archive. The last I looked, OneDrive won't hold all of my media.

Thanks,

DC

Hello Craig,

OneDrive automatically uploads any and all files on my computer. Yes, I can set a file to  "Always keep on this device," but this makes for an unwieldly process every time I create a new file that I don't want on OneDrive. On this front, Google Doc's / Drive and Adobe Cloud provides far better control with Adobe being the easiest to use. Plus, Office 365 sucks across multiple platforms - constant account errors. With Microsoft woefully behind on offering modern cloud tech/services, I decided to migrate to another platform as my Office 365 subscription winds down. I may come back to Office 365 when I'm convinced that Microsoft finally understands the cloud and can build apps that prioritizes user friendly experience over engineers.

Thanks,

DC
