OneDrive, for example, does not allow you to encrypt data either while it's moving between your device and the cloud or while it's sitting on the cloud – so if someone gets into your OneDrive folder, they can access (and change) your data.

Third, since many cloud storage sync and share locations have become targets for hackers, only backing up to OneDrive might put your information at risk. Drive cloning using a mirror image duplicates all the information on your hard drive enabling you to get back to regular use more rapidly. However, it does not make a full image of your hard drive that will enable you to use a bootable media for complete restoration.Ĭomplete system backups allow you to recover your hard drive settings and restore your applications. File recovery allows you to download documents, spreadsheets, music, and images. If something happens to your hard drive, you can't restore applications and operating system settings. Second, sync and share only works with files.

If you accidentally delete a file or make a change to it, the actions occur in both locations. First, sync and share stores the same files on your hard drive as in the cloud.
