Well, and note that you might explore other parts of the solution space ;-) For instance, - rclone, <https://rclone.org/> supports every popular cloud provider, and, being a tool written for heavy duty tasks, provides for fine-grained control over what is synchronized. The inconveniences of using it are: - You'd need to write a script which calls rclone with a set of command-line parameters which do what you need (sync some folders while exclude some subfolders in them). Luckily, rclone implements the "dry run" mode of operation so you can tinker with its parameters until a dry run shows it's about to do exactly what you want. - You'd need to create a scheduler job to run rclone periodically: it has no continuously-running "monitoring" service which would sync stuff "ASAP". - SyncThing, <https://syncthing.net> is a user-friendly tool which works excatly like all those commercial cloud-sync pieces of software, but is heavily confgurable. For instance, [1] deals with exactly your case. A drawback is that you have to host its "cloud part" somewhere - usually on a rented VPS/VDS, or on a computer at your friend's basement. This is precisely what most users of commercial cloud providers are understandably reluctant to do for a multitude of reasons. FWIW, I personally use rclone to sync photos from my laptop to the cloud. Since I'm a bit of a tech-freak, I use strong encryption when doing so as it's trivial with rclone. 1. https://forum.syncthing.net/t/how-do-i-ignore-folders-and-files/15004/5 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
