For some product marketing companies, the FTP server provides support for the company’s data maintenance by saving important data content. If someone makes the corresponding content modification in an FTP server, and there is no corresponding record for backtracking, then the company will encounter economic losses due to data loss, so it is crucial to do a good job of data backup. 

After syncing FTP data to a safe cloud storage service, such as Google Drive, the company can perform the corresponding data backtracking and perform data restoration from Google Drive to reduce losses if the server encounters a data loss.

Besides, FTP is a professional file transfer tool, in order to use it well to store and transfer data, users need to have a lot of professional knowledge. And, compared to Google Drive, FTP does not provide file editing tools and other suites that can be integrated, so to better handle stored files or folders, users can sync FTP data to Google Drive.

Common Way to Sync FTP to Google Drive

How do you sync or transfer files from FTP to Google Drive? As far as we know, many people choose to sync files from FTP to Google Drive through FileZilla or other tools manually. 

These software applications can connect to all popular cloud storage services, including Google Drive, Google Photos, Dropbox and Amazon S3. And these applications can perform remote sync, which allows you to sync files and folders from an FTP server to any cloud service and vice versa.

But in the process of using these desktop programs to sync files, users have to manually perform the operation steps accordingly. And people always make mistakes, don't they? In this way, some crucial data will likely be lost or forgotten, and this will be a big loss for some users who use Google Drive as a tool for storing company-level projects, videos, or websites.

To avoid losses, many people may want to get a better tool that can sync their files from FTP to Google Drive continuously and automatically. At this moment, a free multiple cloud storage manager---MultCloud may be able to bring you a different experience!
