We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
I just want to have all of my files backed up!
Just save multiple copies of them? ACD wasn't supposed to be used, especially by people that know about this sub, since early 2017 when they closed the API to ACD_CLI and rclone, and then slowly to everything.
Yeah, this wasn't helpful, at all. I have had Amazon Drive for years, well before 2017, and wasn't on this sub until a couple of years ago.
