  1. Never mind. This will not work for my use case. I did not realize until I installed the software that the files Cloud Drive sync are automatically encrypted. My wife would not be able to share files with other family members off the cloud drive. Back to the drawing board.
  2. My wife has a good drive folder that she has been using to sync to a set of folders on her Windows 11 PC. The Google Sync application seems to always have issues keeping in sync. We currently use your Drive Pool application and love it so I wanted to see about the Cloud Drive and if there is a way to do the same thing that the Google Sync application does. Her current flow is that as she does family genealogy, certain photos, files, etc., and the folders she is working in are created and new file are added and such. That folder and all of its content get synced to her Google Drive where she can give other family member's read access to the data so they can get to what they need. Would Cloud Drive work for this? Would we have to change the workflow? From what I quickly read, I might have to create the Cloud Drive and then find a product to do daily/hourly/whatever time frame sync's from the main folder to the "Cloud Drive" folder and let it be the one that gets updated. That way she has her copy of the data (which is kept 3 times across a Drive pool) on site and then the version on the Google Drive. Did any of this make sense? Would this process work? Anything I am not understanding? Thanks so much!
  3. Well, we have moved off of 90.2% finally. Now we are at 90.4%. At this rate, it will complete sometime in 2025! When I hover over it does say it is working, I am just not sure why this particular 10% is taking so long. Oh well. Thank you all for the assistance
  4. Thanks. I tried it and it went through, counted up, and it came right back to 90.2%
  5. I have a large pool (large to me) that I have set the duplication to 2. The process is stuck at 90.2% and has been this way for weeks. Any suggestions on what I can do to get it to finish?
  6. My issue is that is any of the drives that are part of the pool are NAS, then I couldn’t backup them. I was hoping that having them part of the pool would “hide” the fact that they are NAS.
  7. I use Crashplan Pro to backup my data and one of the things that Crashplan does NOT do is backup NAS drives (something about the way Windows sees them or some such). Anyway, does a pool drive look like a regular internal or usb connected drive or does it look like a NAS drive to the Windows OS? What if a I have NAS drives as part of the pool, does the answer change? Thanks
  8. <Windows 10> I have a drive (P:\) that s getting very full. I want to add a drive and then create a pool with P:\ and the new drive (we'll call it Q:\). However, after I am done, I need the pool drive to be P:\ for other things in my system to work. Can I just add Q: to P: and make them be a pool with P as the drive letter? I just started using DrivePool (as is probably obvious) and the one pool I created immediately created a new drive letter instead of merging together under a current letter.
