Archiving to the cloud?

Question

Data synchronization

Hello!
Tell me some simple programs that will help you automatically back up data from your computer to the cloud.
I use google drive myself. But you have to throw files into it yourself.
I would like to mark the necessary folders on the hard drive, and that they would be sent to disk every couple of days in a separate folder, which is cleaned from the previous copy. That there was no dump of files or copies that have not been needed for a long time.
upd.
I ask forgiveness. Windows axis.

Answer 1

Take any backup program (which you like, of which there are a whole bunch) and put the Google drive folder in the copy location, I'm sure it's possible. You can also try to connect a Google drive via the WebDAV protocol as a network drive, if something goes wrong with specifying the Google drive folder.
I think, regarding "porridge in the destination folder", there are many programs that can create archives. For speed - you can add an archiving mode without compression (set compression to 0), set "automatic addition of the archive" so that only changed files are archived, and so on. Just "play" with the settings of the program for archiving, one, two, three ... there are really a lot of them and a lot of free ones, for almost any OS.

Answer 2

Under OS X there is Arq.

Answer 3

If G.Drive is already installed on your computer, then you can immediately store files in it that you want to synchronize with the cloud. But this is if the deletion of files from the folder itself is excluded.
Or use DropBox - in it, even if the files have disappeared from the folder and synchronization has been completed, they can be restored via the web interface.
But at the same time, it seems to me not advisable to keep 2 copies of files on one computer / disk; it is better to keep the files in the cloud folder right away.
