Coming from a Windows machine there were a a number of utilities that allowed the user to 'sync' local folders, ie, those outside the GD folder, with the GD itself, so basically backing up local files.

I'm trying to achieve the same thing on a mac without actually having to change the location of my important files. Is this possible? So I'd like to use the Drive service as a backup service for my important data on my MBP

I suppose one problem with this is that, I would be cloning the same files and thus using twice the space (assuming I make stuff available offline) which will take up more HDD space.
