It’s a valuable addition that not all backup services offer. This functions similarly to a Dropbox folder. SpiderOak will automatically create a Hive folder on your device when you set up your account. SpiderOak One’s syncing service is called Hive. This granularity enables you to avoid backing up unnecessary files and saves storage space. Limitations include file size, file creation date, and file type. The platform also gives you very granular control over what files SpiderOak One backs up within the folders you have chosen. You can choose to back up your data in intervals ranging from every five minutes to every two days. You’re also given a great degree of control over the backup process.
The program automatically backs up the files that you select from your device, which saves you having to remember to sync files manually. The newer focus on security is an excellent evolution of that idea, just, not ready for the big time yet, imo.SpiderOak is a solid backup provider with a feature-rich platform. But that's how I see them handy services that have a subset of the tools an enterprise network would be dealing with, that allows practically anyone their own private cloud. I think these are great for individuals who want to bring a little slice of big networking home for the family to use. I obviously can't make blanket statements for enterprise IT, but I work at and get exposed to some larger networks, and these services simply aren't appealing on many points.Īll that said, I am an avid dropbox user, and I will surely investigate using SpiderOak and some of the other mentioned services. I suppose it wouldn't surprise me much to see smaller places allowing users access to these services, but i think in those cases you are dealing with a fundamentally different set of security and network needs. These services allow users to adopt a cavalier attitude towards security and network resource management, which is just as important as security to any large enterprise. That is simply a matter of exposure to the right information to make informed decisions.
IS has much better syncing tools, and a much better understanding of what should be shared/synced, and more importantly when it should be shared/synced, than most end users. That cuts off some more esoteric devices, but our users seem to be ok with it. We still support all the gadgets, but generally secure access to company resources via NAC and/or VPN, and then force users through Citrix. This is the same point of view we have for all of these third party services, at least in the enterprise shops I am familiar with. I would also be inclined to make sure some level of protection is in place to prevent even getting work data into these services in the first place, ie - blocked at the firewall/filtered/proxied, etc. I know I wouldn't be.nothing about this product makes me feel any better about letting my users have it on their work devices. They may have tried, and enterprise IT simply wasn't interested. While I'm sure there are other ways to find and backup that app information, having it that integrated and automatic is a big plus.įor the life of me, I can't figure out why DropBox refuses to provide an enterprise version for in house use. Like you I have apps that are able to store/backup information or databases to my Dropbox account. The hidden gem with Dropbox is the app integration that I am finding. Have Dropbox, SugarSync accounts and have looked at and tried SpiderOak, but can't go all-in with SpiderOak because of the poor mobile app. Yeah, app functionality and integration is becoming key as I am using more devices.
#Spideroak dropbox how to#
Never mind i figured out how to do this in the spideroak ios app. SpiderOak, it would be nice if you allowed us to put a 4 digit pin on the iOS app. the dropbox ios app recognizes i have mini keepass and im able to "send" the file to mini keepass i put my database file in dropbox and its synced everywhere including iphone. Im trying to figure out how to use SpiderOak ios app along with mini keepass on ios/iphone.
