What are some things you would improve, or add, to SpiderOak?
A script that would allow for a file manager (Dolphin, Nautilus, et al) to have right-click “add to SpiderOak” option.
SpiderOak allows deleting older versions through the command line. I'd like to see that functionality put into the GUI.
As a new user it is difficult to tell. Also as a 72 year-old pensioner, and domestic user, 100GB is way over the top for my needs - although $50 a year for 50GB would be ideal for me and many others in my position.
I would add a two-stage backup capability, such that synchronization would happen both to a local backup disk on my network server AND off-premises at SpiderOak. The directories to be backed up would default to being identical on both services, but there is no reason to require that they be identical.
Faster recognition of new files and faster syncing to other devices (it can occasionally take a few minutes to detect, upload, finalise, and then sync down). Mainly it is just simply excellent!
Add option to easily clean, for example, all files older than date X. Or all “duplicated” files older than date X, etc.
Picture (and other file) backups on Android.
Make the UI more intuitive and user-friendly.
Possibility to upload files via the web.
This is the first I've heard of this service. Maybe if you put yourself out there a bit more, others might get to know you.
Add an estimated time to completion based on the current network performance. I have a slow link, so during backup upload, I need to plan my PC usage by leaving my PC on for a longer time.
The only problem I've had with SpiderOak was that the size of data being backed up on each device all was counted across all the devices. I.e. 1GB on Home + 1GB on Work = 2GB in total space used.
Ability to see the files are already in your directory before attempting to restore them after an OS reinstall.
It should be much easier to share files you have on your SpiderOak drive.
One of the primary reasons as to why I am not specifically using the services is that it is not fully compatible with my screen reading software. Unfortunately, being blind, one has got to settle for the more accessible software.
