Seafile WebDAV vs the REST API: What to Use for Transfers
Seafile's WebDAV is off until an administrator enables it, and Seafile's own manual calls it slow for many files. Here is how to move files in bulk, and how Blober connects.
Filen vs Proton Drive: How Their End-to-End Encryption Differs
Filen and Proton Drive both keep your files unreadable to the provider, but they build it differently: AES-256-GCM versus OpenPGP, German versus Swiss law, audits, and how easily your files can leave.
How to Back Up Filen (or Move Files Out) Without the CLI
Filen's own routes for WebDAV, S3 and rclone all go through the Filen CLI, which is being replaced. Blober backs up Filen, or moves files out of it, without the CLI.
How to Move Files Between Koofr and Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive
Koofr can connect Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive on paid plans and nothing else. How Blober moves files between Koofr and any other cloud, and what the free plan limits.
iCloud Drive and iCloud Photos: How to Transfer Files In and Out
Blober connects to iCloud Drive and iCloud Photos through Apple's own web login. What the integration can do, how uploads to iCloud Photos work, how it compares to rclone, and the limits to know before you move a library.
Blober vs rclone for Proton Drive and Proton Photos
rclone syncs files into Proton Drive, but photos arrive as generic icons in a folder, with no previews, capture dates, or place in the Photos timeline. Blober uploads the thumbnails and metadata Proton needs. Why that happens, and when each tool fits.
How to Move Photos from Proton Drive Files to Proton Photos (and Back)
Proton has no way to move photos from My Files into Proton Photos, because the two live in separate storage areas. Blober selects all your photos with a glob, moves them in one workflow, and can send non-photos back out of Photos to Files.
Alternatives to Google Photos: The Full De-Googling Round-Up
The main alternatives to Google Photos (Ente, Proton Photos, self-hosted Immich, iCloud, Amazon Photos, Flickr and plain object storage) compared by privacy, storage, price and features, plus how to move your library out.
How to Move Google Photos to Proton Drive (Without Google Takeout)
Proton's official Google Photos import needs Google Takeout, and its desktop import is Windows-only. Blober transfers your entire Google Photos library to Proton Drive directly, without Takeout, on macOS, Windows and Linux.
Proton Drive Is Hard to Migrate To or From. Blober Makes It Easy.
Proton Drive's apps are good sync clients with no way to transfer from another cloud. Google Photos import runs through Takeout, rclone's backend is Tier 4, Linux has no desktop client, and the iOS Files integration is gone for now. Where Blober fits, and when rclone is the better choice.
Proton Drive vs Proton Photos: What's the Difference?
Proton Drive is file storage (folders, sync, sharing, Docs). Proton Photos is the photo surface inside it (timeline, albums, EXIF, auto backup). What lives where, and how the choice shapes a photo migration.
Proton Photos vs Google Photos: The Honest Comparison
Proton Photos (inside Proton Drive) and Google Photos compared on encryption, storage, compression, face recognition, albums, sharing and pricing, including the gaps Proton still has and how to switch.
