Using SM as a backup drive?

I don't know if there is a way to do this or not but I was wondering about if it's possible.

I like the thought of using smugmug as my offsite storage. I also have a gmail account and use a program called g-drive that makes a "drive" on my computer that is linked to my gmail account. I can drag/drop, etc. just like it was on my computer.

If there was a way to do this with my smugmug account I would use my organizing software to archive photos to smugmug.

Does anyone know if there is something out there that can do that?

    I can not locate it on smugmug anymore, but there was a URL that you can attach to as one of your 'My Network Places', called "Smugmug DAV".
    It works, kind-of, but it is very buggy.

    Found it!! clap.gif : use this URL:
    https://upload.smugmug.com/smugdav.mg

    But, again, be beware, it is rather buggy.

    The link doesn't work for me.

    I have been using Smugmug as an online storage place. I like the idea of having a remote backup and all my friends can now see all the photos I took over the years, that I never sent to them.

    You can and should not 'click' on the link in my previous message (i disabled it deliberately there). Opening this one in the browsers will not work.
    Instead, go to your 'My Network Places' and when it asks for a target, provide this link.

    Somewhere on Smugmug are the installation instructions... i forgot how i exactly did it...
