To be clear: you're presumably not paying for redundancy there (which you usually are with cloud providers), so you're trading price for an increased risk of data loss, which may or may not matter to you.
- sn_master 6y agoI understand. I have a paid Dropbox and GDrive accounts which I use for important data. Having a 2 TB storage that I can use to share whatever I want with others or even across my devices is pretty useful for those cases. I have downloaded data there since I created my account that still is safe and available after almost 5 years.
- crtasm 6y agoGP's point is that it's not safe, without redundancy when the drive on your seedbox eventually dies - everything on it is lost.
- sn_master 6y agoSure, that's why I only use it for temporary situations (e.g. sharing a file with another device/person) and not for long-term data storage solution.
