Then, how to protect data on the external hard drive? As a computer user who cares about data protection, you may be aware that cloud storage like Dropbox becomes increasingly popular. Also, it is easy to be damaged after long-term use. For example, you need to bring your data always with you so as to use it as needed, but it may be lost or stolen accidentally or even be detroyed by a hit or flood. However, sometimes, users may find it has some shortcomings. In the past, external hard drive is considered one of the most used physical storage devices to protect data from a disaster, because of its portability and large capacity. What is the best way to backup an external hard drive? Can anyone suggest a solution that will allow me to upload this folder in a convenient and relatively speedy manner? Thanks! I've been trying to find other options, and I just haven't found anything that would seem to suit my needs. (Dropbox's own streaming upload seems to be orders of magnitude faster.)įinally, I've considered moving my Dropbox folder to the EHD, but this seems very inconvenient for any times when I don't happen to have my EHD plugged in. I've also tried using GoodSync to do a one-way sync to the cloud, but the upload speeds seem to be so slow that this is turning out to be impractical. I've tried using MacDropAny by Zibity to create a symbolic link, but when my EHD is no longer connected, Dropbox seems to assume these files have been deleted, and propagates the deletion to the cloud. My computer's hard drive is nowhere near as large as my EHD, so I can't just move the file to the Dropbox folder. I want to backup about 500 GBs from an external hard drive to my Dropbox Pro account. I've got a puzzling dilemma that I've been trying to solve for weeks. Need help: Uploading large folders to Dropbox from external hard drive
