    One drive Sync and Backup Problem


    I am helping an elderly neighbor set up her new HP laptop. She had turned on OneDrive, but ran out of space. I helped her purchase more space 100GB, and syncing commenced again. But it did not complete: Only 14 of 16 GB of pictures got synced, and when we turned on picture backup function, it gave us a strange message about an ".conetoc2" file, see attached. I tried to find this file or folder in Pictures to delete it, but could not find it. Very strange.Suggestions?MikeT in VA

  2. Unable to sign in to Google Backup and Sync

    Hello,
    I am having trouble logging in Google Backup and Sync on one particular Windows 10 PC in my house.
    It started around the April updates.
    All my other PCs could log in to Backup and Sync without problem, but my main PC cannot.
    I tried many methods (registry cleanup, firewall, antivirus, etc.) and even using the ISO to reinstall Windows 10 (still keeping my apps and files) but I still get an "Error Something went wrong. Your account might not have been added" message when I tried to log in on the first step for Backup and Sync after reinstalling the software. When tried to log in with a browser, after all the steps the browser got stuck on a blank page without anyway to proceed.
    I sought support from the Google Drive forum, but the suggestions they gave still did not solve my problem, and then they just gave up. I wonder if anyone here could help me?

    Here is the error message (the next button was unresponsive): Imgur: The magic of the Internet
    I checked the log generated by Backup and Sync, and I noticed an error at the end and not sure if it is related: Imgur: The magic of the Internet

    Here is the post I made on the Google Drive forum: https://productforums.google.com/for...ve/N3ZwAB6-R_c

    Thank you

    Crossfire sync problem

    Hello

    thank you for all the responses.

    I enable vsync in the advanced tab of ccc but it doesn't help.

    It's happening now in mass effect 2 which is unreal but it also happens in civilization 4 and pirates(an old game).

    I don't think it's my display or a cable because when I don't enable crossfire I never have the problem.

    My next step is to change the cards around to see if it's my linked card that's the problem.

    Qubit is correct it looks like a video sync problem. Like when the traking is of on a VCR.

    Keep the suggestions coming.

    One drive Sync and Backup Problem

    Using network hard drive for backup

    It depends what sort of backup you want to do. If you're happy just backing up regular files, then there are a bazillion (really, that many!) different bits of freeware to do that. There is a good list here:

    Download Back Up Tools for Windows - MajorGeeks

    and pretty much all of them can do network backups. Some even have fancy options like encryption. Really, the most useful thing is just being able to schedule them and know they ran OK.

    You may also want to make a system image backup too, and you'll find that software in the very same list.

    I don't have Windows 8 as yet, so I'm afraid I can't suggest any for that platform. Personally, I use Clonezilla for image backups.
