CloudChute

The product is a Mac backup application that copies folders to an existing Google Drive, Dropbox, or Box account and retains cloud copies when files are deleted, corrupted, or infected locally, addressing the risk that standard sync mirrors deletions. It sells to individual Mac users and small teams including consultants, agencies, and producers who use consumer cloud storage and want off-site protection alongside Time Machine. It is positioned against standard sync apps as a one-way backup engine that preserves point-in-time history and optionally encrypts files locally with AES-256 before upload.
