04/14/2017, 8:55 PMI've never felt like i was missing a feature from the Windows app. I'm really lazy so I just want it to automatically monitor the folders I configure and have it auto sync to their cloud when it sees changes. - j

04/14/2017, 8:56 PMit's worked really well for that use case. I also use Veeam Endpoint to backup my OS drive and dump to a second HDD. Then spideroak uploads the files each night - j

04/14/2017, 8:58 PMthe one thing I don't like about their windows app is the syndication process upon first install/update. it can take several hours if you have a lot of data. it's basically creating a local index of all your files. - s

04/14/2017, 8:58 PMthey also have a feature called Hive that syncs folders between devices. I don't use it but could be useful for some. - k

04/14/2017, 9:01 PM@Steve Elgan how much data do you have stored thus far? - j
Jarian Gibson
04/14/2017, 9:01 PMYou could setup a sharefile storage zone and have spideroak back it up - j
Jarian Gibson
04/14/2017, 9:01 PMUse sharefile for front end - s
