odrive

I love it and hope they can get it to work with the new Google Drive Backup and Sync features. I can't use it until then.

good

• Cross Platform, Able to connect to onedrive for business, manual sync, selective sync, Scheduled sync supported
• If Unexpected error happens on system files, sync will stopped (temporary solution are archive system files to 7zip)
• Removes files on sync, it is disaster that one day I cut and paste all onedrive files to odrive folders and realize that everything is gone, perhaps odrive think it as unrecognized sync so it deleted it !

Parallels Desktop 15 will likely support new features like Sidecar when macOS launches this fall. Several features are missing from the trial version. https://crackcool.com/parallels-desktop-15/

Doesn't permit moving / copying content from one cloud to another UNLESS you allow it to be downloaded to your local device -- entailing consumption of TWICE YOUR bandwidth - one for downloading then one again for uploading to the other cloud - as well as OCCUPYING DISK SPACE on YOUR LOCAL DEVICE!

Starting at $99 recurring, the offered value is minimal.

I have used odrive for about 3+ years... This review is going to look like a shill.

This review is only going to be in relation to using backblaze B2 as the endpoint storage container.

I was seeking to move away from large offerings like dropbox for privacy reasons. Looking around I found backblaze as a cheap and seemingly reliable choice. The only thing that was left is that I was seeking a desktop sync like the one offered by dropbox that made things nice and easy.

Here comes odrive. I by no means use all the features that odrive offers but for a simple list of options and reliability odrive has been perfect. It's not a victim of feature creep like other offerings like mountainduck but also provides a ton of options for various end points not just B2. I have not been able to find fault in their software but again I'm not trying to do anything too fancy.

For the price I feel like I am still getting far more than my monies worth when looking at the whole package. With both B2 price and odrive my price per year is still significantly lower than all prepackaged offerings that comes with desktop syncs.

The downside.

• The website feel dated, navigating the site seems like it can really use some TLC. It appears to be a very small or independent developing group that works on the software.
• All issues notes, any data that is updated seems to only be updated on a forum. The forum itself is horrendous when used in this manner and should be better organized to at least split it up into sections. but I have found no way to easily navigate these areas.

Little worrisome that their blog hasn't been updated since 2016 and some of their Twitter reviews seem to have broken profile pics.
