You forgot to mention security on the cloud providers. Sync offers true E2EE (end to end encryption). pCloud also offers this, but at a premium. The other providers hold users encryption keys. IDrive is great for price, but when you read further in their details, they have ok encryption services and they give you the option to change how the encryption keys are held. This is crucial when choosing a cloud provider as privacy is critical in today’s tech age.
Great point. I used Dropbox for years and loved it because it's rock-solid and fast. I eventually switched to Sync though because with my freelance work I store customer data, and Dropbox makes no bones about using your data (or metadata) for marketing purposes. Sync has end-to-end encryption and zero-based knowledge, which is my main concern. It's much slower than Dropbox though, so you have to bite the bullet on that. I may check out pCloud again after watching this video, since performance looks better than it does with Sync.
@Id x Sync keeps the files encrypted on their end, and they're a Canadian company, not beholden to US laws. Not that I store anything illegal, but it's just an extra protection for user data. I would imagine the free version works the same, except that you get only 5 GB, which isn't much.
The Apple iCloud storage system is confusing for a system that is meant to be integrated. I only used it briefly when my iPhone's storage got full when I was on holiday. It wasn't straightforward to download all that data back to my computer's drive. It was difficult to know whether it was on my phone or in the sky and if I was about to delete it by accident or not.
iCloud is an cloud storage, it doesn’t backup the data back to your pc. You should’ve seen a message about you can’t use iTunes and iCloud to backup your iPhone at the same time. If you have a lot of picture you will have to turn on optimize iPhone storage under settings > photo. Just TH-cam a iCloud walkthrough video.
Here is my two cents why you should avoid Apple's iCloud. Try saving your videos and pictures from the camera roll to a folder in your iCloud Drive, and it will take ages, days to sync. You might see then in the iPhone, but at least in my case, I didn't see all the videos and pictures while accessing them from my Mac Mini M1. From 114 items, only synced 68. After waiting 5 hours and trying to figure out with the help of Google why it was taking so long, basically troubleshooting everything. I discover that it's a common 'issue' reported everywhere, but seems like Apple doesn't seem to care to fix.
@Sam & Colby Shorts I just got emailed that their cloud will be removed and files will be deleted on 1 Sept 2022, maybe different by country, I'm not sure.
Been through it once, you have to call Apple and get to lvl2 or above technician and they can get it resolved. Been using iCloud since day1, loving the backup/sync feature.
OneDrive for work and iCloud for personal If you have kids or love to take a lot of video/pictures, iPhone with iCloud is the best since it will free up the space on your iDevice when the space is running low, you don’t have to delete or lower the resolution manually. As for OneDrive, it works best with Office 365 e3 or office family plan.
It's insane the quality of your videos, and how informative they are, and you only have 31.3k subscribers. Keep up the amazing work! I love your videos!
5:40 Useful to know as most of these services don't mention if they keep backups. You'd have to pay a lot more for a business plan if you wanted that. I've always used local HDD backups only but now, unfortunately, having to give cloud a go as well as my local backup. At least with the cloud versions I can share the photos with family.
I've been a Dropbox user for years and I've used OneDrive and Google Drive. When it comes to consistency and reliability, I'll go with Dropbox any and every day. Mind you, I have a very specific use case. I use Dropbox primarily for my photography storage as a secondary aspect to my backups along with local NAS. Also, this is how I share photos with my clients. I've never had an issue with it and it pays for itself.
I just recently downloaded dropbox for my mac, I am using Google drive but can you please tell me is it possible to stream data from dropbox without storing it locally like google drive. I think drop box store data locally.
thanks for the info. I was deciding between Sync and Dropbox, for their unlimited storage. though it requires a minimum of 3 user accounts, paying $720/yr is better than slowly losing my 10+ years of photos due to hdd and ssd failures. yep, Samsung ssd failures before they even reached the 5 year mark. so painful.
What about Jottacloud? Servers in Norway, wich have one of the worlds best privacy laws. Unlimited file size. Unlimited storage, (at least it was when I signed up), but the upload speed slows down after 5TB.
What about nextcloud? Self hosted, No limits on storage and built in collaborative office suite and other apps. No data mining. Works on windows, macs linux and phones.
I use Microsoft 365 family with 1tb per family person up to 6 users 👥, it's been 4 years since I have this plan and i don't change, my personal life is professional is on my Onedrive.
Great video thanks, was hoping we'd be able to find a replacement for Dropbox (we store around 15TB) and it gets a bit unstable. The next step would probably need to be AWS. PS what software do you use to edit your videos?
I want to know what if your google account being hacked will you be still able to see your photos in your google drive account? What program is best to use without having a google account?
Excellent Video, and I greatly appreciate your efforts as always. One quick question was there some reason why you didn't look at BOX? It has been around a long time, I have enjoyed using BOX over a few of the different groups you have pointed out, not sure how it matches up with these groups now. Cheers
Pete, which of these services support symbolic links on Windows? And which one provide mobile apps to automatically upload photos and videos while preserving folder structures? To both questions, the only one I know so far is OneDrive.
Great video, thanks. I was with iCloud and recently upgraded to the 2TB plan however, I noticed my new 16" MBP with 512GB was nearly half full as there was so much in iCloud drive and it was taking upvital HD space. I still have no idea why it does that? After watching your video I have gone with OneDrive. Everything so far looks great. Once uploaded from iCloud, I'll go back to the basic free plan.
12:38 onwards - you talk about sync and the teams option, but then conclude by stating 'pcloud is basically the one to check out' - is this not meant to reference sync?
I recently tried uploading an 8.72Gb uncompressed .MOV file to Google Drive (I had more than sufficient space on Google Drive). However, during the upload process, it inexplicably, without asking permission, compressed the file down to an unusable, pixelated mess at a mere 500Mb!! I specifically needed to pass the full, uncompressed video to someone who was adding audio to the project ... and he needed the high resolution uncompressed file, otherwise each time we shared the file, it would be re-compressed multiple times. I've searched online for Google Drive to reach a support email or chat window with no luck, just the usual corporate run me in circles, taking me to unrelated, irrelevant online articles but never reaching a Support contact. Do you have any idea how to stop this from happening, without having to zip each file before uploading? I've not yet checked to see if it does the same thing with uncompressed high resolution Tiff images.
How are you uploading it? There are settings somewhere to compress files as you upload to save storage space. But that’s more around the mobile app to upload your camera roll
Hi Pete, I find your review and presentation excellent, focusing clearly on what's important. Just one question....I am an expat ( teacher) working in China. Yeah...with all that that entails. I do use VPN services quite successfully for all essential connections, and wonder what the implications would be for signing up for any of these services you reviewed. Would I be able to use these services safely...on normal open broadband ( without VPN ), because they are encrypted? Or would I have to connect via a VPN, which would choke the upload download speeds, heavily impacting the ability to use cloud storage effectively? Hope you might be able to shed some light on it for me. Regards, Peter
Nice summary of the different cloud services. I liked the iDrive cloud service, but I thought I heard you say the max file size loadable was 20Gb ! Or either 10 gb or 20 gb !, This is too small for very large image files that can easily go above 100gb per file. I need a cloud storage that can store my photo images that are large files, and also need a service that give at least 5TB of storage capacity. Who would you recommend.
I am currently with dropbox, and there are many things that I love about it. However, I now need to sync (not backup) files from my pc's internal hard drive, my pc's external hard drive, my husband's hard drive, my husband's external hard drive, etc. Dropbox can't handle this. Is there something that can?
review terabox pls, it's 1tb cloud storage, I've used to backup software and files that are not very important, I still hesitate to save my personal data there
What storage would you recommend for video editors where we need huge amount of storage for passing back and forth raw files. I ise ftp normally, as it has resume, but not as convenient as the cloud storage. However I found all cloud storage struggling with files larger than 4GB where they stop downloading and when you try resume it start from scratch again.
@@PeteMatheson Ah I see, so the saved files are protected. That's the main thing. If I delete something I need, then that's on me I guess. Very much appreciate your video and reply!
OneDrive only syncs Desktop, Docs and Photos folders. It won't let you (de)select subfolders within these and won't let you select any other folders to include. You can move, e.g. your music collection into Docs to sync but that is a pain. I found this a major limitation of OneDrive. I use Google Drive for every day syncing and iDrive for periodic backup.
What? I use it regularly and I'm really not sure what you meant? I don't use syncing of those folders, I have dedicated folder for OneDrive, and it absolutely backs up everything I want. Also, you can set files to be available 1) both in cloud and locally, 2)only in cloud and 3) only locally, and you can set it individually for each folder.
@@munjevitijuric5689 your method of putting everything into a dedicated OneDrive folder won't work for me. Changing the file paths would break my other backup solutions and Lightroom. I want OneDrive to back up the files/folders I choose from their current locations without needing to move them. Google Drive works that way, so why can't OneDrive?
@@andreassakka3577 ah ok, thats a scenario I didn't use so you're probably more experienced here. I use solely Onedrive, and in this case it works for me
I use Icloud and google, I was just sent a link for unlimited google storage - I can't get on it, however people on "comments" say they getting it. what is your opinion. I pay for 200GB apple cloud and 100gb google
Tera is a Chinese company with a lot of ads. Degoo is very limited, with ads, and even comes with limitations with paid plans. And they also use google cloud to save files which allows them and google to read all of your files. They also randomly delete your files.
The Onedrive (I don't pay for it and bad reviews have me hesitant to do a subscription through it) and a couple programs on my computer keep yelling at me that I'm out of storage, so I'm looking into using cloud storage. I'm a digital 2D/3D artist and getting into game design so I run art programs, Blender and Unity, so I'd love to know if anyone has a specific recommendation for what cloud service I should use given that information. I'm leaning towards Google (Still not clear on the difference between Google Drive and Google One aside from the $2/month difference in price for 2TB?) but I'm worried it only applies to Google Suite files like Docs and Photos and stuff and not the non-Google files I need to store. I'm very new and ignorant to this stuff I'll admit.
Bro Google Drive is horrible! Truly horrible... Corrupted Files, Missing Files after Upload... It's completely unreliable as soon as you use more than the free 15 GB version. Use the free stuff, but stay away from the paid version my friends
For someone who's run an IT business for 10 years, I'm sure you are aware of user experience, specifically sound levels on your videos. Please ensure all your sound edits and inserts are of an equal sound level. Its pretty disconcerting to have the main content at one volume, and suddenly have music riffs and intro playing at jarringly loud volumes. The problem is exacerbated when using headphones, which I am, and I'm sure others are too. I didnt click on your video to listen to your loud intro and riffs. Its not hard to consider audio user experience, please do.
@@PeteMathesonYou had box in the thumbnail but didn’t mention it 😢 Have you ever tried box not to be confused with drop box. Can you review ios cloud apps?
Pretty sure OneDrive is a close second for value. For ~$8 a month you not only do you get MS Office, but you also get 2TB of storage PER PERSON with family sharing. Most family sharing plans share the overall storage amount.
@@Brad-cb2dt Its fine as I went to the page and almost purchased the family package as I saw 2tb. But the 2tb was in my head :) re read and saw the 1tb.
@@TheStevenWhiting "Only". On the other hand, you can link the accounts together, so you can use 6 TB, which is pretty amazing. I thought about iDrive as an alternative, but for me MS has a far better reputation as a company behind the cloud...
@I killed that beard guy It's only a few steps: 1. You need to share the necessary folders with the main account. You can simple put everything under a single folder (I mean the whole directory structure) and in this case you have to share only this folder. 2. There is a menu item on the left side in your main account (in every accounts actually) which called "shared", "shared items" or something like that. I'm a bit unsure about the name, because I use UI with my own language. 3. Right click on this specific shared item and there is an option which like "add shortcut" and that's it. After it you can see the shortcut and you can browse the other drive.
I used Microsoft's One Drive for a year now and am so discontent with it. I encountered so many problems and bugs that I am going to change the service now.
Dropbox free plan offers so little storage that I didn’t use it for anything but to store 1Password vault which is years ago before they migrated to their own system.

Yeah it’s not the best that’s for sure / but it’s certainly the cheapest which works for a lot of people!
@@PeteMathesonYou had box in the thumbnail but didn’t mention it 😢 Have you ever tried box not to be confused with drop box. Can you review ios cloud apps?
I just don’t like the iCloud ui. It’s very , 2000. Looks dated.
Just Dropbox
I use testlfight to get a free version of dropbox so i bassically get dropbox 3tb for free

Pretty sure OneDrive is a close second for value. For ~$8 a month you not only do you get MS Office, but you also get 2TB of storage PER PERSON with family sharing. Most family sharing plans share the overall storage amount.
You only get 1TB per person according to their site in the UK. Assume same everywhere else.
@@TheStevenWhiting oops, my bad.
@@Brad-cb2dt Its fine as I went to the page and almost purchased the family package as I saw 2tb. But the 2tb was in my head :) re read and saw the 1tb.
@@TheStevenWhiting "Only". On the other hand, you can link the accounts together, so you can use 6 TB, which is pretty amazing. I thought about iDrive as an alternative, but for me MS has a far better reputation as a company behind the cloud...
@I killed that beard guy It's only a few steps:
1. You need to share the necessary folders with the main account. You can simple put everything under a single folder (I mean the whole directory structure) and in this case you have to share only this folder.
2. There is a menu item on the left side in your main account (in every accounts actually) which called "shared", "shared items" or something like that. I'm a bit unsure about the name, because I use UI with my own language.
3. Right click on this specific shared item and there is an option which like "add shortcut" and that's it. After it you can see the shortcut and you can browse the other drive.
I used Microsoft's One Drive for a year now and am so discontent with it. I encountered so many problems and bugs that I am going to change the service now.
Using PCloud on my mac m1 and windows... LOVE IT! Especially the external drive feature
pcloud has a music player so you can download your favorite music and create a playlist
Dropbox free plan offers so little storage that I didn’t use it for anything but to store 1Password vault which is years ago before they migrated to their own system.
would like to see mega in the next video since i feel the value privacy more
