Check out their pricing (the Pro plan is probably best for SMB - $15/year for 3 accounts and $5/account after that). Unfortunately, the best things in life aren't free, especially when it comes to Google Apps (you have to pay to add a lot of functionality that Google omitted in building out the platform. They even sync changes back to Google's format online.
One of their key features is converting Google files to Office format when syncing Drive contents to your computer. Instead, I would recommend using a third-party client like insync.
pointed out, the Google Drive client does not convert native-format Google Docs/Spreadsheets. They provide a great service for some years already and will likely stay around.ĭisclaimer: I haven't personally tried them I'm going to try to answer your specific question about backing up native-Google-format files to your local computer, but I'm not sure how practical or extensible this will if you're trying to back up an entire organization in this manner.Īs E. All the reasons why OwnCloud makes the most sense.īut if you're not willing to go through all the trouble of the 1 time techie setting up, simply take InSync. And if you're with business Google Drive, makes no sense to pay more for a smaller service. In my head, if you're personally using Google Drive, makes no sense to pay for a smaller service. I'm only trying to elucidate why I would, right now, highly advise using OwnCloud. Open source, offers unnamed priced business. This is my on going personal research listing the most interesting ones I've found: Most of them will help syncing with other services, such as Dropbox ( referral link). And each one do it in a different peculiar way. In any case, there are plenty of tools and mostly services out there you can use to make that local copy.
But you do have a local copy of them! Go figure. Oddly enough, video files (smaller than 15 min they say) also do not count to your drive quota limit. Also, even its "offline" feature, while it seem to work some times, it often fails. It doesn't save local copies of most files that do not count towards your limit (mostly docs, sheets, etc) anywhere in our hard drive.
