SmileWorthy: CloudPull

We like to use Google Documents for online, real-time collaboration. We use it to take notes when we have meetings. We use it to edit product bullets. We use it to create spreadsheets when doing product planning. Generally, we’re thrilled with Google Documents, but we use it for enough important stuff that we worry about our data.

Enter CloudPull from Golden Hill Software. CloudPull provides local, hourly backups of our Google Documents. I back up my local machine to both a Time Capsule and via CrashPlan, and with CloudPull all of our Google Documents are included in those backups as well. CloudPull is a great, straightforward solution to keeping local backups of Google Documents. It also includes support for backing up everything on your Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Contacts.

CloudPull is a wonderful piece of software, and it offers a great deal of peace of mind for its reasonable $24.99 price tag.

CloudPull is truly Smileworthy.
