Windows 10: Goodsync OR?

I have been using Goodsync for the last few years but they have double the yearly subscription, I use it to back up my files and folders from one external hard drive to another, so anyone know any another programs that will do a similar job?

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I would suggest you to check with the different user account & check if the issue persists.

If the issue persists, I would suggest you to contact the GoodSync manufacturer to check if the good sync is compatible with windows 10.

Hope this helps, if the issue persists we will be glad to help you.

Thank you.

 

Cannot take ownership of a share on a WD cloud drive since upgrade to Win10 - Owner is listed as "nobody (Unix User\nobody)"

I run a sync utility from Goodsync to syncronise my Docs, Pics, etc to a WD cloud drive - it has worked perfectly for a couple of years, until last month when I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 - now I get continuous permissions errors.

Goodsync have told me I need to amend the fileshare to grant Full Control etc - tried that, but I am unable to change any permissions on any of my cloud drive shares. They are all list with the owner as "nobody (Unix User\nobody)" - I've tried to change
that, but get repetitive errors telling Access Is Denied

Now for the strange bit - despite the Goodsync software throwing up permissions errors, and despite me not being able to adjust settings, my data is still being syncronised via Goodsync, and I can still navigate to the share and write/delete files.

Who the heck is nobody (Unix User\nobody), why are they the owner of my shares, and how do I change them to something more meaningful?

 

Goodsync - confused about Synchronize or Backup

I need to backup my computer. It was quite a while ago, but I've used Goodsync in the past and remember it being really good. I just purchased/installed the most recent version. But I am very confused about the difference between "Backup" and "Synchronize", and between "File to sync" and "Right". I need to know how to take files from "Source" and copy them to "Destination". I want the files to overwrite pre-existing files in "Destination". But if "Destination" has files that "Source" doesn't, I dont want them deleted. Though, I'd also like to know how to do the same process, except DO delete files in "Destination" that "Source" doesn't have.
I created a job with a "Backup" type, but when it analyzes, it shows files that look like they might be deleted if I process it. This is where the "File to sync" and "Right" come into play. Do I "sync"? Do I "right"? how do I know what to do. "Backup" type says that it includes the deletion of files. So does that mean that if "Source" has files 04-13, and "Destination" has files 01-10, then after "sync" process, "Destination" will now have files 04-13? With 01-03 having been deleted? I want this option for sure, but I need to know how to make it where "Destination" ends up with files 01-13, files 04-10 having been updated.

I definitely don't want "Destination" files to have any effect on "Source" Files, unless of coarse I created a new job. So, I don't see "Synchronize" as being the option I want.

Ive seen a couple of youtube videos that demonstrate the very very very basics of creating a job, but they don't go into situational explanation.

Any help would be deeply appreciated.
