Work on your locally-stored data via synced devices in IDrive Cloud Backup!
January 16, 2019While telecommuting is quickly becoming the preferred way of working for many professionals, there are certain challenges to it. The foremost is probably the hassle of carrying work laptop or device while traveling. Flash drives and cloud storage services make a more feasible alternative but their reliability is constrained due to file sync and security limitations, respectively. Fret not as there's a simpler alternative to access and work on sensitive files without having to actually carry your device: IDrive's 'Online File Sync' feature.
The Online File Sync feature lets you access a locally stored folder anytime from any of your sync-enabled devices via cloud. Once the feature is enabled on your computers, IDrive cloud backup automatically creates a unique 'Sync Folder' in your online backup account and on each of your computers. Any modification made to the folder is synced in real-time across your IDrive online backup and all linked devices. The sync storage is a bonus storage space with the same limit as your cloud backup storage space.
You can also share and collaborate on the sync files with anyone via email. As the owner of the files, you can edit the access right at any point in time or discontinue sharing them.
