Ok so I have an issue that's kinda convoluted. I'm building a new PC in November.

 

I have a Synology and I use Cloudstation on it between 5 computers in the house. All our important writing and documents are on it. Cloudstation is basically a folder that syncs between all the computers that have the same folder. 

 

I could never figure out a way to have it back up to an offsite by itself, which it has the ability to do, so I downloaded Google Drive on my big computer (the one I'm replacing) and I forget how I set it up, but anything that's added to my Cloud drive folder is automatically uploaded to google.

 

Everything in Cloud drive is kinda mission critical stuff and I forget how I had Google Drive monitor the folder.

 

So I have a few questions:

 

1) Is there a way to have Google Drive monitor certain folders? I really forget how I set this up and it's been 2 years since I did it.

 

2) Is anybody here knowledgable in Synology who can maybe DM me about setting up a cloud backup to my Amazon Drive since I get 100 GB on there? I might have to ask this on the Synology forums though but I thought I'd ask here.

 

3) What is your preferred method for automatically backing up important things that are less than 20 GB in size? All this is is documents, writing, and some important photos.
