backup to goggle drive..?

Heedtheadvice

Gdrive gives a basic storage of 15GB for users. I have used for years purely on a drag and drop from PC.

A friend needs to 'backup' data from 2 PCs - data only totalling about 7GB- running under win 10. Net connections available

Is there a way to cheaply (free) auto backup to gdrive (being free), say the user directories from one and then have the other sync to the backup. And under user control reverse the actions on infrequent occasions. I suppose sync all three locations from a defined master?

I am familiar with doing a similar backup regime using Macroum Reflect but I understand that now needs to be paid for and the friends cash is quite limited!!

Or any other ideas?

Thanks

You can be signed into the same Google account on multiple computers.

The 15Gb limit is per user account, not per computer.

PHK

Google drive itself offers backup and sync. Just go to the Google Drive website

Thanks both.

@Neil, yes appreciated.

@PHK I thought it might but was being lazy!! Will have a look.

I have photos on G Photos, documents on Dropbox and some others on One Drive

A mix and match of all the freebies!

I had two Google accounts, each with the free storage space, but was approaching the limit, and was already getting concerned about having to recover data from two accounts. So I paid for 100 GB of space and consolidated the two accounts.
