Someone sends you a Google Drive link with 100GB of files.

Here's a workflow that still feels unnecessarily difficult.

You receive the shared link.

You want those files in your own cloud.

Before moving 500GB of cloud data, shouldn't you be able to see what will happen?

Cloud migration sounds simple:

Source Destination Start

Until you're dealing with hundreds of GB or thousands/millions of files.

How much of your cloud storage do you actually need?

I've been thinking about this while building Syncrix.

Running out of storage usually leads to one obvious solution:

Buy more storage.

What if your cloud storage had one interface?

The more cloud providers I connect to Syncrix, the more obvious one thing becomes:

People don't necessarily want another cloud.

They want an easier way to manage the clouds they already have.

I know the file exists. I just don't remember which cloud it's in.

This might be one of the simplest reasons for building Syncrix.

Once you start using multiple cloud providers, your files become scattered across different ecosystems.

Google Drive.

Your cloud storage is becoming a junk drawer.

I think this is one of the less obvious problems with using cloud storage for years.

At first, everything is organized.

Then you accumulate:

A backup isn't very independent if it's stored in the same place.

One question I've been thinking about while building Syncrix:

If your files are in Google Drive, where should your backup live?

Creating another copy in Google Drive gives you redundancy, but you're still relying on the same provider.

I don't want another cloud storage provider. I want one place to manage the ones I already have.

That's becoming the core idea behind Syncrix.

Most of us don't use just one cloud anymore.

You might have:

Upload once. Send it to multiple clouds.

Another workflow we're building into Syncrix is multi-cloud uploading.

Instead of uploading the same file separately to Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, S3, etc., you can select multiple connected destinations and let Syncrix handle it.

But there are two other workflows I think are particularly useful.

How much duplicate data is hiding across your cloud accounts?

This is one of the features I'm most excited about in Syncrix:

Duplicate File Detection

Imagine you have:
