ExpanDrive 6レビュー–改善と警告

に

ExpanDrive LogoAs you may have read in my previous blog post on ExpanDrive 5, it had some great features, but some significant caveats. Now, ExpanDrive 6 is here, released almost 6 months ago (July 5, 2017) it’s had some time to release minor updates and bug fixes. So as a traveller looking to keep my local storage at a minimum while having everything backed up and readily available in the cloud, I’m excited to see what version 6 brings to the table. It comes with claims of being 500% faster and the addition of offline-sync mode. It also adds two new cloud platforms, BackBlaze B2 and Google Team Drive as well as a new user interface.

ExpanDriveクラウド統合の7日間–レビュー

2017年12月17日更新： This review was based on ExpanDrive 5. ExpanDrive 6 has been released with some big changes. 私のレビューをチェック!

ExpanDrive LogoI started trialling ExpanDrive 5 to see if, compared to オドライブ, it would be a more or less viable alternative to running all the different cloud synchronising apps for all the different cloud services I use. That includes Dropbox, Amazon Cloud Drive, Google Drive, and OwnCloud. I’m also looking at it as a way of reducing the data footprint of those cloud platforms on my local machine, so not actually storing files locally is a significant benefit here. Manually removing files from synchronising with my various cloud accounts is a pain, especially since there are terabytes of data in my Dropbox and it takes quite a while to load the full folder tree.

ExpanDrive behaves like an external USB attached drive, or more accurately a series of USB attached storage. Each of your cloud storage systems becomes a drive connected to your computer. As long as you are on the internet, you can then enter these storage destinations anytime and access the files on them as you would any other external drive. Similarly, you can save directly to them just like a regular external drive. The only difference is that the speed of access is highly impacted by the speed of your internet connection.

30日間のOdriveクラウド統合–レビュー

I started trialling Odrive 30 days ago to see if it is a good alternative to running cloud synchronising apps for the many different cloud services I use. Those cloud services include Dropbox, Amazon Cloud Drive, Google Drive, and OwnCloud. I am also looking at ExpanDrive as another possible option. Besides doing away with additional applications, … 続きを読む

OdriveまたはExpanDrive for Cloud Unification？

に

2017年12月17日更新： この比較はExpanDrive 5に基づいています。ExpanDrive6はいくつかの大きな変更を加えてリリースされました。 私のレビューをチェック! I’ll be updating this article soon to represent a comparison between Odrive and ExpanDrive 6

それが私が現在解決しようとしている問題ですが、何のためにですか？

上手、 オドライブ そして ExpanDrive どちらも、コンピューター上のローカルドライブであるかのように、クラウドプロバイダーへの統合アクセスを提供します。これは、ファイルの同期とファイルのローカルコピーを保存する必要をなくすことができることを意味します。

As an example, a typical Dropbox setup would have your Dropbox folder on your computer where you store everything. If your local hard drive gets full then you need to look at what you can remove by selectively synchronising the files you need and not the ones you don’t. The downside of this is that when you do need some of those files you chose to stop synchronising you have to either re-sync them or download them from the web interface, neither of which is ideal. Odrive and ExpanDrive take this and say ok, how about we just synchronise the files we need as we need them and until we need them they live in the cloud, thus freeing up lots of local disk space. In addition to that, they enable access in the same way to multiple cloud storage providers such as Amazon Drive, Google Drive, Amazon S3, OneDrive, Box and more.

Which one is better, though? I don’t want to fork out cash for something I don’t use in the long run, and ultimately I’d like to use it across a few computers without paying extra.
