FFS and cloud services

[alone]

My goal is to sync one-way folders on my laptop with folders on different cloud services (OneDrive, DropBOX). I'd happy if I could use FFS paired with some other program. Is that feasible? Which program do you suggest me to use with FFS ?

I use the cloud services' desktop clients just fine

I also recommend the cloud provider's desktop clients. I've used both OneDrive and Google Drive and they are good.

There are some apps that will mount your cloud provider as a drive or directory. I've used Mountainduck and AirLiveDrive but not had good results with them. They tend to be slow and sometimes caused my system to freeze for awhile.

Thanks a lot for your prompt replies! For simplicity I'd avoid the cloud provider's desktop clients: too complex and furthermore I'd double the need of space on my laptop. I'll give a go to Mountainduck and AirLiveDrive keeping in mind the heads-up @dennisb gave me. Any opinion on other alternatives such as rclone and robocopy ?

Hi @alone,

I pair FFS and rclone everyday.
I rely on rclone to provide connectivity to multiple Google Drives Microsoft OneDrive and Amazon storage service and pcloud.

You can mount over 50 Cloud providers. They have a new provider for the iCloud only it's not functional yet.

Thanks for your reply @John1234, you're the perfect target for helping me or at least to clarify my ideas. I'll move to the Help forum

Hi @alone

I'm working on an Rclone Tips page. I'll post the link when I have it formatted. It will help you with the basics and getting started creating a remote.

I've been using FFS + Rclone together for years now.
