  1. Need Backup & Sync Desktop Client with Certain Characteristics


    I'm looking for a Windows 10 compatible desktop backup and sync app that has the following characteristics:

    (1) Google Drive: Can backup files to Google Drive (My Computer)

    (2) One-way Copying: Allows me to configure the backup app to specify one-way copying. I do not want the backup app to modify the contents of my computer disc driver *ever*. In other words, if I add or remove files on my computer, I want the backup software to add or reomve files on Google Drive, but if I add or remove files directly on Google Drive, the backup software should do **nothing** on my computer.

    (3) User-friendly: Easy-to-use drag and drop interface.

    (4) Maps Folder Hierarchy: I do not want to sync contents of a single "sync folder". I want to specify any combination of folders on my machine and have the backup software both copy the files in those folders to Google Drive *and* duplicate the hierarchy of subfolders under the folder I choose to backup.

    Are there any packages on the market capable of doing all these things?

    Thanks.

    :)

    That's why I'm posting here asking around to see if there is a program that does everything I want. Google's Backup & Sync will modify your machine. I hate that. It's free, but it's just too light weight and lacks configuration options.
