• [PRoot-distro-tui-u] took me two days just to add the export function going, at least its working now

  It's a pain actually, the https://github.com/winfsp/sshfs-win really bugged me to hell actually until it finally worked with https://github.com/evsar3/sshfs-win-manager. Source: 10 months ago

• WinFsp · Windows File System Proxy

  Another neat application is SSHFS-Win, from the same authors of WinFsp itself. https://github.com/winfsp/sshfs-win. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• WinFsp · Windows File System Proxy

  I use this along with https://github.com/winfsp/sshfs-win, which allows me to mount ssh filesystems as windows network shares, and it's awfully slow.

• How long would a USB stick last in storage?

  Upload what is on that stick to a cloud based system that is not vulnerable to degradation of hardware, you can get a lot of storage for free on sites like dropbox.com, mega.nz, or icloud. You can also always make multiple backups. Source: 10 months ago

• Dropbox data gone

  Did you try logging into dropbox.com and checking there? Often the files remain online even if they are removed locallY. You have to log in with the same account you deleted Locally. Source: 10 months ago

• Author Resources: Tools and Software

  Dropbox: You absolutely NEED backups. Ideally, both physical and cloud backups, because if you only have one backup, you're not backed up. I can't even begin to tell you how many writers have lost days, weeks, or even entire novels worth of work because they failed to back up their work, then had their computer break or had some weird software snafu.
