What I "just simply" want to do is have a full cloud backup (sort of like Time Machine in the sky) but I have local access to my files. I don't want to have to pull files down whenever I need them.

Any other recommendations where I can set up an automatic backup (even weekly) and still access all my files locally?
Thanks in advance!
