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.
