It seems like they changed their sync model. The client syncs with the email provider directly now instead of using their server. This is great.

That's a bit harsh. Most people don't understand technology on a functional level. Ask a "regular" person how programming, the internet or their mobile phone works and they won't be able to give you a technical explanation. In fact, most modern technology tries to hide the internal workings.. "it just works".

Does anyone know a good offline backup solution for drive? Preferably something that takes automated snapshots. We're currently using drive to store a lot of original content, the loss of which would severely cripple our operations..
