Keep copy of all data

Greetings! My intention is to keep a synced copy of all files on a HD, and use an SSD with selected synced files. This way I have a local copy, but can keep my main drive as empty as possible.

The only way I can think of to do this is to have another MacOS installation (perhaps virtual), and sync the HD with that. Is there another way? I would be happy with launching a script every now and then to sync the HD-copy.

Hi @staffan,
You could sync your drive to two different places using the “sync to odrive” feature. https://docs.odrive.com/docs/manage-sync#section-sync-external-folders

On your SSD you can have the default odrive folder, and you can use sync to odrive to map your remote odrive content to a local folder on your second hard drive.

OK! So I can use external sync to sync to a folder that is already syncing to another within the odrive folder? Sounds perfect.

(I missed the notification, so I took a long time to respond… sorry)
