Is there a way to get google drive to automatically back up folders, I want to be able to back up my adobe premiere files without having to worry about it, if not is there any other free way that I can do this?

Google Drive is not a backup solution, because as soon as you change the file there (by accident or on purpose), it changes in the cloud too. You can use it, but it is not a proper backup nor designed for it exactly.

True.

It's redundancy, not backup, but I think that's what OP wanted.

Spend As Much Time Writing Your Question As You Want Me To Spend Responding To It.

If I'm wrong, please point it out. I'm always learning & I won't bite.
