Cloud Storage

Post by **GORDON** » Sun Jul 15, 2018 3:42 pm

What are the cool kids usingm these days? I'm about to get a 1TB google drive for $10/month, but I wondered if there was anything better.

Also, can I give it a drive letter, and just treat it like it was local storage?

At work I've created our own private cloud that doesn't rely on any external companies.

At home we could use some cloud options if we so choose, but I've stuck with ext HDs and a fireproof safe.

I'd like something "fire and forget." If I can get a.cloud.drivd and assign it a drive designation in Windows, then i can back shit up to it without a thought. I don't have anything confidential, so no concerned about that.

If.the house burns down, will be nice.to know I can recover pics and random stuff.

I used Dropbox, which you can selectively sync to the cloud. 1 TB is 9.99/month. It occassionally goes on sale for around $69/year

We use Onehub. No complaints, beats the private FTPs that always felt like a hassle to setup.

I use MS Office 365 for the office suite and they include 1 TB with the package.

I don't have a lot of stuff. Pics and mp3z on an external harddrive. For documents, sometimes dropbox or google drive.

I also have a shit-ton of AWS credits so I can basically store stuff in S3 for free if I want to.
