Overview
If you are using cloud services like Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, or Evernote, you may have questions about how the Code42 agent interacts with these services. This article provides links to more information about using the Code42 agent with several popular cloud services.
Considerations
Dropbox
Dropbox stores files directly on your computer's hard drive. The Code42 agent can back up these files like any other personal file on your computer. Read Back up Dropbox for more information about including Dropbox in your file selection.
Google Drive
You can back up files stored in your device's local Google Drive folder with the Code42 agent. However, you must first make the files available offline. Read Back up Google Drive files for more information about how to make files in your Google Drive available offline.
Evernote
When Evernote is installed on a desktop or laptop computer, your notes are stored locally on your computer as well as in Evernote's cloud. You can back up the files stored locally either by backing up your entire Evernote database, or by exporting and backing up individual notebooks. You can read the advantages and disadvantages of both methods in our how-to guide for backing up Evernote.
iCloud
To back up files stored in iCloud, follow Apple's instructions to save copies of your files from iCloud. Then, add the copies to your Code42 agent backup file selection. You must repeat this process if you change the files in iCloud, because changes made to the iCloud files are not applied to these copies.
Microsoft OneDrive
OneDrive uses smart files, which are placeholders designed to save space on your computer's hard drive by storing files in Microsoft's cloud. The Code42 agent can back up these placeholders only if you use OneDrive's "offline" mode. Read Back up Microsoft OneDrive files for more information about your options when using OneDrive and the Code42 agent together.
