  1. Need to correct myself: Now I get the error message with 847 too .
  2. I can confirm this issue - got the same error message with 848. Tried 849 and 850, but both versions don't open the GUI at all (as reported here). Now I went back to version 847, which works fine for me.

    Crashplan refugee

    I’m also affected from CrashPlan’s shutdown of their consumer service (using their family plan since 6 years). But I don’t consider using CloudDrive for an alternative backup solution. I use CD (together with DP) for what I think it is intended to be used, as a perfect solution to securely store data in the cloud but in a way that I still can directly access them. Sure could a cloud drive or a pool be used as a destination by any (local) backup solution, but I guess that might have a negative performance impact, especially if the backup solution should do things like versioning or deduplication and needs to go through the CD/PD software layers in order to get the backup into the cloud. Therefore I’m evaluating backup solutions that are designed to target cloud storages “directly†(e.g. Duplicati, CloudBacko, MultiCloudBackup or Arq Backup). Another good CrashPlan alternative might be Idrive. They currently have a great offer for CrashPlan users (I will probably take it).

    Hide Drives In Pool

    You don't even need folder mount points for drives in a pool. DP can handle completely unmounted drives. You can also add, remove or change a drive's letter or mount folder any time before or after having it added to a pool.

    Writing Enabled?

    I think, the setting you are looking for can be found under Manage Drive -> Performance -> I/O Performance. Unselect the "Upload threads" checkbox. This will stop any data upload for that drive. (The "Writing enabled" box seems to be an informational item, which cannot be unselected directly.)
  6. When I recently saw this issue, I created a ticket and provided a couple of affected chunk files. Now I did some further investigations and identified what these files have in common: It’s the first two characters. All my affected files start with “P1â€, “P2â€, “P3â€, “P4â€, “P5â€, “P6†or “P7â€. The rest of the file does not matter and the issue is not restricted to chunk files. It applies to any file, even to ordinary text files, which start with such a header (when I upload a .txt file to ACD with something like “P1 bla bla …â€, it shows up under “Photos & Videos†with “Could not Displayâ€). I finally found the reason, why ACD identifies these seven two-byte strings as picture headers: These strings (P1, P2, … P7) are the seven magic numbers of the Netbpm format (portable anymap format). Maybe this help to develop a solution.
