L@@king for Cloud Storage! Easy Sharing, Easy Backup, Fast!

May 14th, 2021, 15:01

Hello,

I know there are a couple of threads out there about this but nothing very detailed. I have checked YouTube, official websites, and checked pricing. I am looking for something kind of special and I am not sure if it exists. It may not.

What I want is something like Idrive with an Amazon Photos flare to it. I want to backup everything I have to the cloud and then be able to share it with ease. i.e. picture or video. (not necessarly need an account to view the file, however this is not a deal breaker) I also want decent speeds and for everything to not run like a turtle.

I have heard that Idrive is great however, they are slow? Is this true? I like Amazon Photos, free unlimited photo storage if you have prime. However, for non-photos i.e. videos and other storage concerns their "cloud storage" can get expensive fast.

Anyone found the perfect solution?

-fast
-great pricing, however not too worried about this
-incredible sharing capabilities
-updated designed, doesn't feel like I'm in the 90's when using the software
-please fill me in on other great benefits not listed here if needed

P.S. I have (8) 8TB drives I will already be backing up everything to locally (copied twice). However, I want cloud storage in case house burns down.

Look forward to hearing all of the solutions!

Thanks!

I want cloud storage in case house burns down.

for such scenario we back up to mutually to eachother with a friend. Pretty easy to do with synology nas, probably with others as well. However, 64TB is a considerable amount of data on its own...
This does not offer the sharing capabilities though, since everything goes there crypted of course.
I wonder if sharing is an critical requirement, as you can do that from your location too, the backup does not need to have such capability.

Try Backblaze, there is regular cloud storage, or you can try a personal backup, for 6$/month you can backup 1 pc with unlimited storage, just all drives have to be connected to that pc, network drives does not apply. with that you get 1 month file history for extra 2$/mo 1 year file history, not sure if u undertood correctly but just extra 2$ - forever :)

if you register from my affiliate link and after 1 month free you will buy it i will receive a 1 month free
