  • rclone

    "rsync for cloud storage" - Google Drive, S3, Dropbox, Backblaze B2, One Drive, Swift, Hubic, Wasabi, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob, Azure Files, Yandex Files

  • I use multiple cloud storage services for redundancy than periodically rsync from cloud storage to a local device for private, local backup using rclone[1]

    I’m sure there are downsides but I like the benefit of passive image backup and periodic sync.

  • git-remote-dropbox

    A transparent bridge between Git and Dropbox - use a Dropbox (shared) folder as a Git remote! 🎁

  • For what it's worth, git also can fail in some pretty bizarre ways in Dropbox for much the same reasons. I've used git-remote-dropbox [1] in the past to use Dropbox as a git server.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • syncthing

    Open Source Continuous File Synchronization

  • Malware built into iOS makes it impossible to install Syncthing[0], which is a problem for most of the people who use iCloud tp sync their files.
