Sync TimeMachine data with Amazon Cloud Drive
I love the feature that automatically sync your ReadyNAS shares with Amazon Drive, but I would also like to sync my iTunes backup hidden folders as well. Does anyone know of a workaround to get this to work automatically?
Hello drewbyty,
TimeMachine can be backed up to the NAS however it uses AFP and the share it generates is hidden that only TimeMachine can read while the ones the sync with Amazon are the shares that are accessible through Samba protocol.
Maybe you post this as a suggestion at idea exchange board.
