Share Folders To Multiple Cloud Providers?

Hello

I have unlimited sotrage with Google Drive and 5tb with One Drive, I want to share the same set of folders that get updated regularly to both providers, how can I achieve this without having to hold 2 copies of the same data locally?

Thanks in advance :)

    Why would you want to do that? (curious)

    The only way possible I think would be to download both Google Drive / One Drive applications and then create a batch file (like a script) to sync a local folder (master) on your computer to the respective cloud.

    Hello

    Thanks for the reply, I hae lost data over recent months with both providers, not "in the cloud" but as a reult of sync issues that went un-detected until I upgraded machines and realised around 10gb of data was not there so it is a backup of the backup exercise so I do not lose any more.

    I have both of the installed, I thught it would be a simple right click on a folder and the sync to onedrive or sync to google drive but sadly this does not seem top be the case.

    I could have a go at a batch file but how would it work? IE would it simply copy and paste data into both folders or would it handle it in a more intelligent way?

    Thanks

    can't you change the "default" folder in both those syncing programs to the same folder?

    Or add the folder to the list of folders to sync?

    You can do it with owncloud - but you need to run the server as well as client

    My Pictures folder upload to both Google and OneDrive simultaneously.
    My documents load up to Dropbox, Box and OneDrive.
    I find that each acts independently on the PC and uploads whichever folder they are pointed to.
