Ask HN: What Cloud storage provider(s) do you use?
Dropbox, Google Drive, One Drive, S3, etc?
Why?
If more than one, do you put specific files in one over the other?
- kasperset 10y agoDropbox
- logiclabs 10y agoBackBlaze B2 - Cost
- bndw 10y agoGoogle Drive for random things S3 for photos
- endswapper 10y agoS3 because I am essentially tethered to the AWS ecosystem after receiving AWS credits from Y Combinator Office Hours. This is no complaint, I love the ecosystem.
- gexos 10y agoGoogle drive for everything important, dropbox for random stuff.
- ohgh1ieD 10y agoI use SpideroakONE https://spideroak.com https://spideroak.com ( even though it's encrypted, I still encrypt it on the cmd before pushing it into the cloud )
- jotato 10y agoOnedrive. Microsoft gives out storage every time I turn around. I think I have upwards of 300GB available at this point.
- avitzurel 10y agoDropbox for syncing between computers S3 for backups and photos with mirroring to Google Drive (For faster restores) S3 for blog/static sites
- NetStrikeForce 10y agoOneDrive as I've got an O365 account and it backs up my pics on my Android phone :) I've got a (paid) Google Drive account too and I'm considering using it for replication. Does anyone have an IFTT recipe to copy files between providers? Forgot to add that I've got a free Dropbox account with old, unimportant stuff.
- emilburzo 10y agoFYI, Google Photos[1] automatically backs up photos, besides being a decent gallery app. It also doesn't use up any storage if you choose "High Quality" (probably visually lossless).

- snehesht 10y agoPersonally I use dropbox, blackblaze. In my day job we use Google Drive, S3. try rclone.org
