Arq

Arq: A fast and feature-rich tool that lets you encrypt all your cloud-stored data

Having data stored in the cloud provides a convenient way to access it while on the go, but even so having a backup of it is a good idea.

Arq is a streamlined tool that lets you encrypt your cloud-stored data in a simple manner and supports numerous cloud services such as Google Drive, Amazon Cloud Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, SFTP, Google Cloud Storage, AWS S3 and many others.

The program can backup files regardless of their size, and you can also use it to create backups for your internal and external network drives. The first thing you need to do is to create a connection with the cloud storage service of your choice by entering the proper credentials.

Arq includes a de-duplication feature that ensures a specific piece of data is only uploaded once to optimize network traffic. It is also possible to exclude files using filters such as their name or exact path, set up transfer rate speed limits and configure the maximum storage budget.
