Large amounts of data transfer out of cloud to Ready NAS
Hi, I have a new Ready NAS 212
At the moment I have data locally, on dropbox, on amazon photo drive etc. I have a mac and PC
What is the safest way to transfer the data from another cloud storage to ReadyNAS? I've tried google and calling support but they didnt know!
I know I can then set it to back up to dropbox so I have offsite storage as well.
Bonus points if you know a good way to indentify and remove duplicate data inc photos
Thanks

Re: Large amounts of data transfer out of cloud to Ready NAS
If you simply want to copy data from your various cloud storage, then I suggest copying the data to one of your PCs, and then onto the NAS. Use a wired ethernet connection with the PCs if you can.
You could use Duplicate Cleaner to identify duplicate files ( https://www.digitalvolcano.co.uk/dcdownloads.html ). Note I haven't used it myself, this is just an option you might explore. Perhaps don't delete the duplicates right away, instead consider moving them into a temporary location and manually verify that they actually match.

Good idea to keep duplicates for a while. I’d always been nervous of the duplicate checkers but if I keep it that will reduce the risk.

Thank you. It’s too much data to fit on the laptop, I could move it in chunks but didn’t know if there was a (safe) direct way.
I'd move it in chunks. There are some cloud services you can enable on the NAS, but I think you'd still need to verify that everything was copied if you used them.

I can personally vouch for Fast Duplicate File Finder. If you are dealing with tru (100%) dupes, the free version will do the trick. You can set it up to show you the images before you decide to pull the trigger and delete.
