How to transfer files between different web technologies

If you have data in any of the online storage systems like Dropbox, SkyDrive or Google Drive etc. and want to make another duplicate copy of this data as backup or if you want to backup your data from your website like Wordpress or want to have a backup of all your photos from picasa or flicker then there is a web based tool called Backup Box by Mover which will help you to transfer files.

The problem that we have today is that there are too many web technologies and they don't sync together. Backup Box will help us in getting this issue resolved. It is more like a middleman between various web technologies. Backup Box takes your files from one place and transfers or converts them to another place. Files are transferred one at a time and are kept in the memory only when it's being transferred and are completed once the transfer is completed. Most of the features are free of cost.

Once you register and login, for a free account there is a limit of 10 instant transfers per month. There are no restrictions for file size by Backup Box but some connectors like Box (100 MB), SkyDrive (300 MB) have transfer limits. Backup Box does not restrict any sort of file types, however, some connectors like SkyDrive do.

Data backup time depends on directories and files. More the number files, more will be the time taken to transfer files.  File transfer should not take much time and is much better than our manual process. In the worst case if the transfer fails, Backup box team will either try to fix that for you or will keep you informed that the backup has failed.
