Having spent a few months since its release, I return to give it another shot to Google Drive to back up my files.

A few months ago my experience left much to be desired but it stands to reason that Google is investing heavily in this product, and therefore have improved.

So I’m back to paying $ 4.99 per 100 GB of storage, time for a month. I installed the new Google Drive on my server 2008 R2 and I’ve gotten a good savagery of files to upload.

For almost two days and has backed up files and 43 GB. As they say it is very slow and that I have a good connection to much more. But hey, I do not worry too much that is somewhat slow with this initial load files.

The truth is that until then everything had gone well. This morning has been a implementation pete. An error of primary key violation if I remember correctly it was one of the mistakes that I constantly when I tried it out a while.

I closed the program and I have rebooted and within 5 minutes it has failed again. I repeated the operation and now takes a couple of hours and so far looks good.

I hope you continue to support files and I can stay with Google because it has a price infinitely better than other alternatives.

Although I still see many shortcomings regarding SugarSync, if at the end I see it works well I’ll change because «need the money», albeit a tad tedious to organize files.

Should improve the desktop application and allow something as simple as seeing that missing to synchronize files, and which is currently.

Well, I’m after finding perfect backup system.

Some time ago I hired SugarSync space and the truth is I am very happy. Currently I have 50 GB worth my time that I have not any complaint about the application. I still miss that can sync folders of removable drives, but even without that gives many turns to the other systems.

Yesterday I started to try Google Drive and good, still has a major drawback with respect to SugarSync, and everything has to be centralized in a folder. On the other hand the price difference is very big so I have launched to try one month.

I Contrado 100 GB for $ 4.99 / month and we’ll see. With SugarSync 50GB I said I got by, but really if I had more space might make backup more.

But I found a problem and in my server (Windows Server 2008) I do not get the desktop application installed. Really installed if installed, but when you login remains indefinitely in a «Please wait …»

That if I is a problem as there are parts that come from the server backup and if the application does not work because not enough for me. For example do I backup the entire folder «wwwroot» or daily backups of MySQL or SQLServer.

EDIT: The solution is to add to Internet Explorer Secure sites domains «https://drive.google.com» and «https://accounts.google.com»

Knowing that is Google is to be put batteries and must be given time. It is a product that just released and I’m sure that will come subsequent updates with new features and bug fixes.

For now I continue with SugarSync, but when I work in the Server surely pass me Google Drive. It has fewer features, but the price is much less.

Looking for a place to store a backup of my photos and other important data I decided to try DropBox.

But as it was expected, the free version is very short and the paid version seemed very expensive. That is why I looked for alternatives and after trying several I have choosen SugarSync.

It is similar to DropBox, but with some advantages. First of all, instead of having synchronized a single folder (though you have several inside) you can add all the folders that we want, even if they are on different routes in your PC. This is a great advantage because that gives us total freedom to organize our things on your hard disk.

The software that is installed is also much more advanced than DropBox, allowing to associate one folder «A» with one folder «B» from other computer or other computers. These folders remain synchronized regardless of the name or the location of each one.

Also, there is software for Windows, MAC, Android, Symbian, Windows Mobile, Blackberry, iPhone, iPad…

They have a free version of 5 GB, and 30 GB for less than $ 5 a month, which is what I have hired. If anyone is interested in trying I will appreciate it you do it through the following link, so I will get a little storage extra.
