but the cloud side happens quite a bit more. but in 10 years, I have witnessed the loss of data in Cloud based services just as I have witnessed a hard drive malfunction and lose data. It's not the hacking of info that bothers me as we can encrypt the hard files or the cloud files. Good luck with your transfers - I hope you get a better transfer experience than I do.īTW - I completely understand you keeping some things off the Cloud and only wanting hard transfers. It's maddening and wildly frustrating to me. and I've never been able to just have one list that sync exactly the same and I end up with a lot of duplicate Contacts because once the Contacts have been imported into Outlook, they take on some independent field titles and become a second set of contacts when syncing back to the Google side of the phone.
I don't, but there's no fool-proof alternative that works as well as these competing services work.
