Protect Your Cloud Storage from Ransomware — Immutable Backups with RcloneView

· 4 min read

Ransomware doesn't just encrypt your local files. If your cloud sync is active, it overwrites your cloud copies with encrypted versions too. Your Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox can all be compromised in minutes.

Cloud storage feels safe — "it's in the cloud, it's backed up." But cloud sync tools work both ways. When ransomware encrypts files on your computer, sync clients dutifully upload the encrypted versions to your cloud, replacing the originals. Within minutes, your cloud storage is full of encrypted junk. The solution: backup copies that ransomware can't reach.
