Sync all home shares with Amazon Cloud Drive
Is it possible to sync Home Folders with Amazon Cloud Drive? I was able to configure sync of individual shares that are not Home Folders, but not Home folders as well. They do not even appear in the list of shares.
Hello A_Hjulstad,
I don't think this is possible as they do not appear to be listed to the shares that are possible to be synced with Amazon. Home folders are personal folders that only the user and admin can access.

Regards,So, in order to get backups to Amazon Cloud, I will need to create the shares myself, outside of the /home directory, and sync them separately?

Yes.
There are also some other disadvantages related to using the /home directory. One is that if the account is accidently deleted (which has happened with ReadyCloud accounts), the files in /home are deleted too.
It's also not as easy to restore /home from a backup as it is to restore shares.
