FAQ and Knowledge Base

OneDrive, Dropbox, Creative Cloud Files are cloud services that provide a local path, or a mounted drive, where you can access all your cloud files. You can access, copy, delete and edit the files, just as if they were stored locally, using Windows File Explorer or any other application including ViceVersa and VVEngine.

The mounted drive / path will behave like any other drive or network share: ViceVersa will be able to synchronize/replicate files from/to the drive, from other hard disks or external USB drives, SSD.

Some of these services also support change notifications (for example, OneDrive does), so that VVEngine will be able to execute in real-time, detecting file changes in the cloud drive and synchronizing / replicating changes locally. For example, one could setup a real-time sync between a folder on OneDrive and a folder on a local USB drive. Each time a change happens to the folder on OneDrive (a change that can be made on a phone for instance), the change is automatically replicated to the USB drive.

If you have a lot of files on OneDrive or other cloud services, you might want to make a copy to a backup drive for safety reasons. For that, you can use ViceVersa, which will compare your OneDrive vs another folder and only copy files that have changed since the last mirror, without copying every file each time.
