Hi welcome to my new video
In this video I will show you how to backup and sync your data to Google Drive
First you install Google drive desktop for your computer
Of course you need a Google account
By default Google will give you 15 GB of free storage
I connect to my Google account
If that's not enough for you you can pay extra for more storage
After completing the installation on your computer, a new Drive named Google Drive will appear
This is my old data being stored in the cloud
Here I have prepared some data to backup and sync to the Google Drive cloud
So how to do that
Next I will introduce you to the free software SyncBackFree
With SyncBackFree you can back up, synchronize, mirror your data to external storages, file servers and over the network
But for the purpose of this video I just show you how to backup and sync data to Google Drive
SyncBackFree supports you to create different profiles for different purposes
As you can see here you have three ways to protect your data
It's Backup, Sync and Mirror
With backup and mirror your data will be copied one may
With synchronization your data will be copied two-way
I recommend you read the guide to get the best way to protect your data
Let's try to create different ways to protect data
First we back up the data to Google Drive
Here I back up the data stored in a folder named SrcBackup
This data will be backed up to Google Drive
On Google Drive storage there will be a folder called DstBackup
This folder will back up the data stored in the SrcBackup folder on your computer
This activity is one way
This way, if a file has been backed up, then when you delete it in the source folder, that folder still exists in the destination folder
Next we will come to the second way which is synchronization
This way the data will be synchronized two-way
If you add a new file or delete a file in the source folder and the destination folder, the file will be synchronized with the other folder
Not only that, changes to a file are also synced
This activity is bidirectional
And finally the third way, mirror mode
This way the data on the destination directory is always the same as the source directory
This activity is one way
Files on the destination folder will be changed or deleted to ensure that the data always matches the source folder
Those are 3 ways for you to protect your data
Next is how to schedule the execution of the profiles you have set up
You will be asked to provide your computer password
If your computer doesn't have a password you can leave it blank
You can schedule execution by day, week or month
Also you can backup or sync manually
Here I schedule tasks by day, once a day
As you can see, the data will be backed up, synchronized to Google Drive in different ways according to the way we set it up
So I have introduced how to synchronize and backup data to Google Drive with SyncBackFree
In addition, SyncBackFree also helps you back up, synchronize your data over the network, external storage or file server.
This way you can back up your data to a NAS server, another computer on your local network
Thank you for watching, don't forget to like and subscribe to the channel
Next I will create a new file with sync folder on Google Drive and see what happens
Because synchronization is bidirectional, this file will appear in the SrcSync folder on your computer
