I decided to build my own mini NAS using unraid for the management software. I have 30TB of storage and I'm using Owncloud as my "cloud " alongside with syncthing (to pull my data from google drive.
If only Dropbox didn't cave to Apple and block us from using external drives on Apple machines with their service. I've been using Dropbox for years and now am looking for another sync solution.
@@likebliss Apple forces all cloud services to sync all files in a particular folder. So you cant choose where you can keep your main dropbox folder. So, for those who had it on removable storage now cant do that anymore.
Great video but: 04:05 not true. I get a similar problem like Google Drive when I upload more than a video ( in this case Pcloud is responses much faster than both of them) . And Google Drive is also much faster than OneDrive ( at least for me in Germany )
I'm not sure how much Box has changed since you looked at it, but it as a video production company it is the storage company I'm switching too. Unlimited storage and files up to 50gb.
Mind boggling recommending onedrive, especially on a mac. It's the most buggy piece of shite, slow to upload, always has errors and chews up resources. Heaps of people have reported the same issues. It's the WORST, by far.
honestly something i dont get with all those cloud storage comparison videos is why noone mentions cryptomator. Literally all the security concerns of cheap and big company storage solutions like google drive or one drive disappear if you simply encrypt your data yourself before uploading them, yes google can see your stuff...but its all encrypted now so they cant really see it. that way it basicly doesnt matter at all wich provider you chose and you can just pick whatever and its way cheaper than paying for ''secure storage solutions'' OR you could get a 5TB Nextcloud storage from hetzner for 5 bucks a month, and basicly own your own cloud that way
Hii how you is there a cloud to as for social media back up I hate that instagram has this new block feature even if someone created a new account it’s aggravating 😡
Ha, sounds like you're not a big Sync fan 😀 I have to disagree with the reasoning though. Yes, the user interface is more bare-bones, but if you're a freelancer storing customer data, or you don't want the other service providers accessing your data (like Google, Dropbox, OneDrive, etc. does) then Sync is the better choice. Plus they do have a beta version for download-on-demand files, but otherwise, all files are automatically stored both on the computer and in the cloud.
I haven't tested pCloud before. The lifetime business model is interesting, though that's a big investment to make up front for a service that may go downhill over time.
I've been using pCloud for 1.5 years now... first used the free account for 6 months or so and then bought the 2 TB premium 1.5 years ago on Black Friday sale. So far, my experience has been quite good. Though sometimes their servers get slow and such, but those issues were something I used to face more at the beginning and now it has been more or less fixed. And come on even tech giants like Google or MS or Apple have downtimes.... just a few days ago Apple Mail was completely down for hours...
I'm using pcloud, the free plan, not really need a huge storage as of now, I just like how they handle the storage by adding a partition instead of folders in my PC & laptop.. I don't need to logout if one of my colleagues borrow my laptop, just unmount it~ 😊
For more storage, I just, created channels in Telegram and upload compressed files onto them..😅 Unless they're media files, cuz sometimes, you just wanna watch them straight away..🎉
I just need under 100GB for very little money. So Google Drive still is the best contender. It may not have a good interface but I don't need to share with anyone so it still works for me.

@@dustind9242 Where is your location-independent backup?

what do you mean? how do they block you from using external drives? I'm considering switching back to Dropbox after 10 years on GSuite
@@likeblissDropbox don't block anything and I've been using them for more than 20 years.. I have a limited space with them and I've never looked back

It's good until you go over 1tb and your account is locked out for a month. The day you are emailed is the day the account is locked.
@@techjunkie2010 Box locks your account if you go above a certain storage threshold? This is the first time I've heard of this

Since you have Apple hardware, what about iCloud Drive?
It's horrible for sharing stuff.
Found this video well looking for a replacement for dropbox, I was laughing at the pricing compared to where we are today in just 11 months.
Very informative video. Thank you so much for all the value provided Craylor.
Shadow Drive offers 20GB for free and is based on NextCloud, what do you think?
Great video! informative and well spoken! big thumbs up!

Not to mention they scan everything you upload to put ads later...

But is google and one drive safe
What about Proton Drive
Too new, no desktop app, and slow
I've not tested it yet. Maybe for the next comparison!
Thank you!
Great info dude. Your hands are distracting.
Should have used MEGA
What about pCloud? Did you test that one as well?

Do not use dropbox
What about "we-transfer"?
Google drive on android is horrible
Dropbox will not let me sync osx - DS Store issues - I can not resolve that issue. Open for infos : )

Can't beat Google Drive or OneDrive for your needs.
Exactly my case too. G-drive works great for me. Though I agree it can be frustrating at times...
lol MS is same price $2.99 a month
I am going to pCloud for my artwork. Yeah they a bit pricey.
Is there a cloud storage who is good and build on web3.0
Skiff
bro the fkn hands
