Ask HN: What cloud storage can you recommend?

3 points by k__ 7y ago

I have 6 machines. 1x Android smartphone 1x Android tablet 1x PC desktop (Windows) 1x PC notebook (Linux) 1x MacBook Pro 1x EC2 based cloud dev machine What is the best way to have directories that are synced between all these machines? There are so many solutions out there, I just don't know where to start. I want my images on all but the EC2 device, but I want my dev stuff on all but the android devices, and such things.

OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox etc. ...they all can sync selectively and can be used on Android, Windows, Linux and macOS.

  Aren't there any differences?

    There are some subtle ones. It depends on what you need. :) If you simply want to sync some directories, there isn't really much difference and you can pick one or the other.

      Thanks. Then I will probably go for Google Drive.

If you want something that you can host yourself, Nextcloud might be worth a look. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nextcloud https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nextcloud
