![]() ![]() ![]() I had it set on backing up RAW files too, but it wasn’t backing up anything but CR2 (Canon RAW files) and DNG (Adobe RAW files, or digital negatives). ![]() Have a look at the screenshots taken from my settings for the app below. I have it set to back up only photos and videos and yet it backs up a lot of files with strange extensions that end up counting toward my storage quota on Google Drive. Neither of the apps allow you to make them use less energy (to work slower, etc.), so they churn away at your computer’s resources even though they’re supposed to work quietly in the background.Īnother issue that still occurs is that the app backs up files that it’s not supposed to back up. To be fair, Flickr’s own Uploadr is also an energy-hungry app. And even when it does its regular backup in the background, it’s still climbing toward the top of the active apps. You can see it at the top of the active apps in Activity Monitor (on the Mac), eating up all the processor cycles as it iterates through its list of files. Which is somewhat okay, but when you start it back up, it does a re-check of all the files it’s supposed to back up, and that is an energy-hungry process. It gives an error message popup and says it needs to quit. One issue that occurs over and over is that the app crashes. I thought I’d do a follow-up because, as you may have guessed already, there are more issues I want to point out and also a few pieces of advice that might help you in your use of the app. There were several issues with the service that I outlined in there, such as the app backing up files that it was not supposed to back up, the service counting files toward the quota even though it was supposed to compress them and allow unlimited free storage, etc. I reviewed Google’s Backup and Sync service back in December. ![]()
