I have tried using Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox and iCloud of course. Among all, this Dropbox client really stood out as low energy impact syncing service. Which I would like to share with you.
Maestral
- DropBox client – which means you need to register an account on Dropbox for it to work.
- Download Maestral on their official website. (Again, it’s free and open source, no worries.)
Reason To Use
- Free and open source (So they don’t do sketchy stuff)
- Lightweight – battery saving and improve laptop performance.
- Easy to setup (Under a few minutes, you have a fully working syncing folder)
Worth Noting
- Google drive has been buggy for me syncing on macOS and it consume a lot of memory.
- Dropbox official client uses a lot of memory.
Their github repo.
I will keep on finding services like this, stay tuned!
Cheers
