Installed Mint (lemmy.world)

Mint is great but I have to fix my screwups.

My cheap laptop has a 128GB SSD. I have 30GB available .

I installed Mint on Sunday on a 15GB partition then realized I was immediately out of room.

Now I believe I have reformat, repartition to maybe 25GB and reinstall. Any better options?

Also, I could probably reformat the entire laptop if I could only figure out how to replace the Google Drive for sync backup for roughly 15 GB of personal photos and videos.

Technically, I wouldn’t have to do anything as it is already backed up but I guess I’d need a way to copy everything over to a Linux alternative that can be backed up from Mint.

Thoughts?

I meant rclone. You might be able to do it with rsync too, but rclone is the one I was thinking of. I actually setup my own self hosted Nextcloud server. Then I used rclone to sync everything from gdrive and onedrive to my Nextcloud servers block storage. Then I just use rclone, scheduled on a cronjob, to back up that block storage to storj.io. Anyways, worse case scenario, with rclone, you got something.

I will take a look at rclone too.
