I think you either have to download or delete those files. The exact process is mentioned in the support pages.

Thank you - so what would happen if my one if my harddrives fail, but they had files on this service and on there beforehand? Would they remain for a limited time on the server, and then be deleted...

Yes it will save older versions.

Are you sure about the cloud storage? Source please. Cos I didn’t find it anywhere. Sync is not the same as cloud-only storage.

Not true. The SpiderOak ONE software has, in addition to Backup, a sync function, and also a cloud storage function, which is similar to Dropbox, Onedrive, etc.

You will not be able to use spideroak for uploading files to the cloud like Dropbox or sync.com. Spideroak is strictly a backup service.

For the price, I moved from crashplan to Backblaze.
The control you have is completely different and I am not happy with the way they exclude or include file types. Kinda stuck with it.
