Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I backup my Google data?

Google does not help you recover your personal data. See various Google product forum posts below.

• All emails from Feb 9th to Feb 12th are gone.
• Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All my emails are gone from my gmail account.
• I lost all of my gmails from Feb. 13, 2012 – Feb. 21, 2012 . How do I recover these? I wasn’t online when it happened.
• I just accidentally deleted ALL of my mail by creating a filter to automatically delete a spam dating email.
• I accidentally deleted Drive folders
• I deleted my gmail account but then only i noticed picasa account also got deleted.. how to retrieve the album again??

The above are just a few examples out of hundreds found on the Google Product forums from users who have lost their data and can neither retrieve them nor get help from Google. Although it’s too late for these users, it shouldn’t have to be for you.

Is it safe to backup my personal Gmail data at SpinOne?

Yes, it is 100% safe.

• 

  SpinOne never asks for your Google password. It communicates with your Google account via OAuth 2.0, Google’s latest and most secure API, developed by Google’s own developers.

  SpinOne uses Amazon S3, GCP & Azure to store users’ backed-up data. Even if Google is down you will have access to your Google data via your SpinOne account.

• 

  SpinOne provides a 256 bit SSL secure certificate to access your user account. All security concerned financial service institutions (banks, brokerage firms, etc) use the same type of certificate.

  SpinOne does not share your user data or emails with any 3rd party. No other entity will even know that you have an account.

SpinOne may provide the following advantages, depending on the compared vendor:

• FREE accounts.

Google’s users only. You must have an Individual or a Business account with Google. At the moment, SpinOne’s cloud backs up only Google clouds. Development is in progress for Twitter, Linkedin and Facebook cloud backup.

Troubleshooting: Error (403) "The domain policy has disabled third-party Drive apps".

It means the domain administrator has disabled third-party apps access to your Drive documents. You should ask your domain administrator to grant access for SpinOne application to activate the Drive backup service.
