What Is Proton Drive? Is It Free, and What Is It Used For?
Proton Drive is end-to-end encrypted cloud storage from the makers of Proton Mail, with a free 5 GB plan. What it does, what it costs, and where it falls short.
Blober vs RcloneView
RcloneView puts a GUI on rclone and inherits its 70+ providers and its limits. Blober is a separate desktop app with GoPro Cloud support and full Google Photos downloads. Where they overlap and where each fits better.
Back Up Google Photos to pCloud Without Takeout
Moving a Google Photos library to pCloud by hand means Takeout batches, zip extraction and uploads that break and restart. Blober copies the library straight to pCloud with each file's embedded date, and resumes if the connection drops.
Download All Your Box Files Without the ZIP-and-Time-Out Trap
