TrueNAS to iCloud sync

[georgelza]

Hi all

I know there is NextCloud... that does NextCloud and TrueNAS sync.

Is there however a package that does a sync of a TrueNAS folder to iCloud ? and vice versa...

Been looking, does not look like there is the ability in cloud sync to do this, with iCloud at least, however there is for DropBox, which we also already have a small account for... and I like the single account... with shared folders.

I'd like to be able to sync my dropbox folder from my mac with the cloud folder, but then also sync a folder from the TrueNAS to the cloud.

so I've configured a push task to push whats in a "photo" folder on the NAS to a folder on DropBox. As this sync is using my dropbox credentials that I also log in from my MBP.... question, will this create a sync of this Dropbox folder back of the data to my MBP ?

Try Google Drive

If I already have Dropbox... and it uses the same CloudSync, why would I switch to Google Drive.

I use rclone to sync datasets with several different cloud providers.

not having worked with rsync before, is it bi-directional.
would have been great if the dropbox app was available as a plugin or jail.
second great would be if you could sync into a folder and tell the dropbox/iCloud app not to include that folder in the bi-directional sync.

As I already use dropbox on my MBP, and I share documents with my wife via DropBox also, I can't backup folder from TrueNAS to that structure as it then syncs them down to me and wife also,

So I've decided I'll do a separate sync, probably to google, purely as a offsite backup.

Use the ? items in the cloud sync task setup. They explain the difference between sync, copy and move.

You would need a push and a pull job for the same cloud location in order to have bi-directional sync

You can have as many sync jobs as you want in order to be granular by directory if necessary.

Cloud sync tasks are using rclone in the background (not rsync). You can do your own CLI versions of that with cron tasks if you can't get what you want out of the Cloud Sync tasks GUI.

would have been great if the dropbox app was available as a plugin or jail.

Code:

root@jail:~ # pkg search dropbox
dropbox-api-command-2.13,1     Dropbox API wrapper command
dropbox-uploader-1.0,1         BASH script for the Dropbox backup service
p5-Net-Dropbox-API-1.9_1       Dropbox API interface
p5-WebService-Dropbox-2.07     Perl interface to Dropbox API
rubygem-dropbox-sdk-1.6.5      Library of the Dropbox API web endpoints
