A Google Drive Alternative - Maestral

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.

Here is the walkthrough video

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
