To backup my files from different Google and OneDrive accounts as I move between teaching jobs and school divisions, I’ve just been downloading all of my data from different services and domains (different school divisions) to a couple of external hard drives. I do the same for my personal Google and OneDrive accounts.
I keep one of the hard drive in a fire proof safe. The other is connected to my Mac Mimi. Sometimes I rotate the drives. And I am going to start using BackBlaze .
I think that my next step is to setup a Synology NAS to replace the cheap external hard drives I’ve been purchasing.
From the research I’ve done so far, I think I’ll be using the Synology Cloud Sync tool (app?). Using that tool, it seems that I can connect to my many work and personal accounts and either sync or download data.
Does it make sense to edit my files online rather than locally and just choose to download the data to my NAS rather than syncing? In some cases, when I move from contact to contract, I lose access to some of my cloud accounts. If I choose synch, and I loose access to one account, will the Synology app delete my local data because there’s no longer an account to synch with?
Also, is there a limit to how many Google, OneDrive and iCloud accounts the Synology Cloud Synch tool can connect to simultaneously?
