Why Personal Cloud Storage is so bad on Linux?

desconectado@lemm.ee to Linux@lemmy.ml – 112 points –

The main cloud services don't even work natively (GoogleDrive, OneDrive, iCloud) basically the only mainstream choice is Dropbox. I tried to use Google Drive in Mint, and it's a pain to get it to work, and usually it stops working after computer restarts.

Someone has a recommendation about how to handle these services?

You can use rclone

I second that.

With the additional advantage that rclone has modules like crypt and join, which allows you to keep your data encrypted no matter which cloud you use, gaining more cloud space by joining clouds, etc.

rclone

rclone bisync, even it's not good in production, I been using it for 1.5 years, just need to check the log regularly... I just hope this function become stable enough to be on mainstream, then almost all cloud storage works well on it...

I didn't know this option. Will certainly give it a look.

Just make sure, that you have logs for it, and check before sync. because sometimes in bisync, you can lost your file... but I already manage it by excluding a lot of .swp, ~.lock., and other temp files.... Mostly temp files is there cause of broken bisync, and when resync, the file that suppose to be synced, deleted...
