What is your preffered Cloud Storage (not self hosted)?

I am looking to go premium plan with either just thinking about what the best solution would be?

What is your favorite when it comes to the likes of DropBox, Google Drive, One Drive, Box and Amazon Storage?

    I have a free plan with all of those except for Amazon, and I use Odrive to manage them all in once place.

    Dropbox: 56GB

    GDrive: 20GB

    One Drive: 30GB

    Box: 50GB

    Total: 156GB, not bad for personal backups.

    I've used Dropbox and Google Drive, I prefer Google Drive out of them. I've not used the others but I can't see the reason to compared to Google Drive (but I'm a Google fanboy, over here with my Pixel). Plus 100GB is only $1.99.

  • one advise since i am not using any at the moment. If you do select one make sure it has server encrypted side.

  • Depends what you're looking to store your budget, and the level of security you demand.

    Personally I prefer SpiderOak and Tresorit for my important document storage, backups of password safes, etc - SpiderOak is the cheaper option but is also US-owned (I know that matters to some) whereas Tresorit is a Swiss operation but considerably pricier.

    Easy 1 TB for 2 bucks.

  • I prefer pCloud, it's fast and reliable, mounts the storage as an external drive, has an official Linux console client and WebDAV support. Client-side encryption is available as an add-on. Using it for full/incremental backups of my servers made with Borg Backup and Duplicity.

    I think it's too early for archive data, fine for periodic backups I guess.

    Only 2$ p/m for 100gb?

    100GB would be enough for sure. This is just for some important data to be always available for Uni, Work, Code etc.

    For my PC, server, media backups I got a 3TB NAS installed :P

  • I'm testing out Sync which is similar to SpiderOak in a number of features. Like SpideOak, Sync is still based within one of the 5eyes countries, Canada. Plus, $8/m gets you 2TB.

  • Google Drive is faster than Dropbox, also dropbox dont have a 100G account, only 1TB.

    I use Google Drive for some big files, and dropbox (5gb account) to txt, docs, and other simple stuff.

    Also Google size increases gmail and all the related apps too.

  • Amazon Drive of course, it's unlimited. Just mount it and add encryption on top, then you can put owncloud, WebDAV or whatever else you want. It's a no brainier to go with anyone else.

  • i use One drive that comes with my Office subscription (Family subscription gives me upto 5 TB) ..dont know what to do with that much space. Trying Plex cloud as a use for that.

    also there is google drive and dropbox as well, which i use very often (more of dropbox)

  • Amazon Cloud Drive

  • I've found Dropbox to be the best solution that gives me the least headaches. I have the 1TB plan there and it just works.

    He's also terrible, but you're an order of magnitude worse.

    If it'll make you feel better, I'll say the same thing to him.

    Most of my storage is used for Debian GNU/Linux ISOs, along with various other distributions.

    debian-jessie-minimal[the force awakens].iso.mpv

    I've got 11GB on this machine, and it's holding 3 ISOs.

    /dev/sda5 11G 6.0G 4.1G 60% /

    So? :D

    200gb is not the same as 900TB or 10PB he wants to upload
