We have some thoughts and ideas that you should read.
Free online email services like Gmail have become very popular in recent years. They take minutes to register and are extremely easy to access from just about anywhere, allowing the user not only convenience but also complete anonymity. Since Gmail is designed to be a more complete service, containing productivity and organization tools designed for both personal and business needs, there is an increasing necessity to make sure the data there is safe and sufficiently backed up.
Google offers all users the option to archive data and will even let you choose which data you would like to back up, whether it is your Gmail, documents in Google Drive, your calendar and over 15 other tools. Since Google’s extended storage plans are more costly than other cloud storage providers, some people choose to have their own cheap storage option, separate from Google, at their disposal.
OpenDrive is not only an affordable option when it comes to cloud storage, but it is one of the most versatile services out there today. Their Unlimited Plans, starting at just $12.95 per month or $129 per year, allow you to store any file type at any size. Although not all services are connected and seamless when it comes to backing up your data, only a few simple steps are required in order to make sure that all of your Google data is properly archived and uploaded to your OpenDrive account for safe keeping.
Here’s how to archive your Google data:
Once you have downloaded your archive, simply upload the zip file to your OpenDrive account, in an appropriate folder, and then unzip that archive once upload is complete. A set of complete Google data archives, including your Gmail, calendar, documents and all other important data, will expand into that folder on your OpenDrive account for easy access and restoration in the event of a catastrophe.
Storing archives is just one of many convenient features OpenDrive has implemented to make sure that you are able to back up and store your data, regardless of what other tools you use. OpenDrive is designed to integrate with virtually any other online service with as little hassle as possible, and their Unlimited Plans give you peace of mind knowing that you will never run out of storage space and it will never hurt your wallet.
