    Too much salt is bad for you.

          Random salt is applied, so different encryptions of the same file will produce different results.

          File size will increase by exactly 32 bytes.

          They have their own custom format which uses AES-256.

          Thus, files encrypted by GoodSync are only decryptable by GoodSync software, same goes for the file and folder names.

    This actually works !!!

    It's allowing me to do things with onedrive accounts that I can't get working using Microsoft's tools…

        Backing up his porn to OneDrive

        Like accessing and copying files between different onedrive accounts without sharing the folders.

        • onlinepred on 23/07/2019 - 09:09

          Oh right, so if you have multiple onedrive accounts this helps. Why are you backing up files to multiple accounts??

      There is a GoodSync package for Synology - I'm running it after I picked up a free copy of the client in the last deal, and liked it. Supports local and remote connections, so you can backup to your NAS from offsite or onsite. If the backup destination is only written to by Goodsync you can radically improve performance by not doing a full compare for each sync, which is nice.

      I've been happy with Goodsync. I've tried a number of backup / sync clients over the last few years since Crashplan killed their home product. FreeFileSync, Cloudberry Backup. The former is pretty good, but limited only to local / SMB / FTP. The latter supports a number of cloud services, but it's clunky and CPU intensive by comparison.

      Does anyone know of a clean means to browse the history to retrieve a given version of a file? I'm currently versioning by other means, but would like to understand how this works, and docs are pretty light-on for detail.

      • jollster101 on 24/07/2019 - 11:22

        Thanks. Do you have a link to the package by chance (assuming its not a native offering and needs a 3rd party community repo)?

        • hughc on 24/07/2019 - 20:48

          The package is from GoodSync themselves.

          https://www.goodsync.com/for-nas-synology

          Unless you purchase and assign a licence to it, it runs in a cutdown fashion (maybe with a storage limit). OK for try-before-you-buy at least. I paid about $50 AUD for it.

          The free client giveaway (ie this offer) is a pretty crafty one; it's one free client per account, but there's no percentage in signing up more than once to claim multiple clients, as you need to have the clients on the same account to communicate with other registered services on the account (not an issue if SMB or FTP are the only protocols you want to use).

          That said, there is a 'merge accounts' feature in the admin ui, so maybe it's possible to sidestep the limitation.
