Why Personal Cloud Storage is so bad on Linux?
Why Personal Cloud Storage is so bad on Linux?
The main cloud services don't even work natively (GoogleDrive, OneDrive, iCloud) basically the only mainstream choice is Dropbox. I tried to use Google Drive in Mint, and it's a pain to get it to work, and usually it stops working after computer restarts.
Someone has a recommendation about how to handle these services?
You're viewing a single thread.
I keep seeing this question pop up. "Why doesn't [closed/proprietary technology] work well in Linux?"
This question should be asked at whoever makes said technology. You are their client, why don't they support your operating system?
That responsibility should not fall on the shoulders of the thankless volunteers that do their best to create an awesome OS.
Alternatively you can buy one of the commercial distributions and become a client. Then you can ask your supplier why don't they support that technology.
Case in point, Mega.nz offers a native GUI client for Linux and went out of their way to also make a full command line client.
Support those services that don't treat you like ass, y'know?I agree! But it's surprising that even Google doesn't have a native app for Drive. There's one for android, but not for Linux? I'm guessing it all boils down to number of users,, but still...
For personal use, i use FreeFileSync.
Really awesome, works like a charm.
