Sync files to your local device storage on Android and Windows.
Sync files to your local device storage on Android and Windows.
Hi there! You're looking to avoid paying for cloud storage and keep everything on your own device. The current setup uses Google Drive as the backup, with a sync app for both your phone and laptop. Unfortunately, the DriveSync app only supports cloud storage, not local network drives. Are there any affordable alternatives you could try? Your USB SSD is connected via your Linksys router—maybe a different method or tool exists.
You’d prefer not to rely on a network drive. Once installed, it should automatically sync data across all machines using the same shared folder as before. Since your previous request didn’t include a network drive, it shouldn’t be included in the setup process.
Sure, I’ll make sure to include those details. It’s important to note that you should have a copy of the files as a backup. In fact, Windows offers a backup option for network drives—perfect for this situation!
That would be fine too. If your network storage can handle running apps, syncthing should work as well. I use it on my server—it has the necessary shares, keeps important files, and retains deleted items for 30 days, unlike the other machines.
