Windows 10: Sync two 2 drives same computer

Timothy Payne1 · Oct 22, 2024

I have two equal sized RAID 5 Arrays, one SSD and one HDD.I use the SSD and have the HDD as a backup in the event of a drive failure in the SSD array.If a failure occurs I will backup the information on the SSD array to HDD array while I correct the failure and then proceed as normal.I would like to keep both the SSD and the HDD arrays in sync to both eliminate a last minute time consuming backup and minimize the disruption of a failure.FreeFileSync has been recommended but I not sure if it works on two drives, the same computer.Does Windows 11 have any features or apps that perform this task?

No One Drive sync

Equipment:

Microsoft 950 Windows Phone.

Microsoft Surface Pro 8 running Windows 11 Professional.

HP All-in-one Desktop running Windows 11 Professional.

Background:

I used One Drive to sync files between the Microsoft phone and the HP computer. I didn’t realize the Surface Pro was syncing to One Note until I transferred a folder (using a USB drive) to the Surface Pro and received a notice that that my One Drive was full. I deleted some files from both of my computers and One drive. The hurricane brought my work to an end and I don’t know what I did (step-by-step) prior to the shutdown.

Now:

Now I have no One Drive connection between the 3 Equipment items. How do I get back?

Updates on how to sync Google Drive content to your computer

What’s changing

In the coming months, we’ll make some changes to the solutions we offer to access Google Drive files and keep them in sync on your desktop. There is no immediate action required, but we suggest familiarizing yourself with the changes and plans described below.

Currently, we have two sync solutions available—Drive File Stream, which was built for business users, and Backup and Sync, which was built for consumer users.

Some of our Google Workspace customers have deployed both sync solutions, which can be confusing for end users and challenging for IT departments to manage. To address this, we're planning to unify these sync clients later in 2021, bringing the most used features from both Drive File Stream and Backup and Sync to all of our users. Check out the Additional details section below for more information, and sign up to preview the unified sync client in beta.

Who’s impacted

Admins and end users

Why it’s important

We’re planning to unify our sync clients and bring all of our customers the best and most used features from both Drive File Stream and Backup and Sync. This will create a powerful and unified sync client for anyone who uses Drive, whether for business or personal purposes, and will:

Make it easier for admins and IT teams to manage deployments

Reduce user confusion around which app to use

Result in better performance for end users

The beta for the new unified client will help organizations currently using Backup and Sync understand how the new client will work prior to it becoming generally available later in 2021.

Additional details

Drive File Stream is now Google Drive for desktop
As of version 45, Drive File Stream is known as Google Drive for desktop. This is simply a name change; all functionality will remain the same and most admins and end users won’t need to take any action to continue using the client. See our release notes for more details.

Backup and Sync functionality and users will be transitioned to a new version of Drive for desktop later this year
Later this year, Backup and Sync users will need to transition to Drive for desktop, the unified sync client. Until then, we’re working to incorporate features from Backup and Sync into the new solution and to make it as easy as possible for users.

We’ll announce when Drive for desktop is ready for Backup and Sync users. We will share more details later this year on how Backup and Sync users can get started with Drive for desktop. We will provide 3 months’ notice for Google Workspace admins and end users before the deadline to transition to Drive for desktop. The transition will be self-serve for end users. More details on consumer timelines will be announced closer to availability. Visit our Help Center to learn more about which features will be transitioned to Drive for desktop.

Google Workspace customers can now preview the new Drive for desktop client in beta
Google Workspace customers with end users who are currently using Backup and Sync can apply for a beta of the new unified Drive for desktop experience, which includes Backup and Sync features. Learn more, and sign up for the beta.
