It seems when it comes to cloud storage, you best bet is going with a company who's main product is cloud storage, and not just an afterthought or value-add like it was for Amazon.
Or build your own NAS is you have the time and experience.
- prepend 4y agoI’ve been pretty happy with my NAS choice (knock on wood). I spent about $1000 on a synology and drives and that’s given me 10 years of 10TB so it’s actually pretty cost effective too. Cheaper than Dropbox or OneDrive. I only wish there was some community disk swap program that would be good for reliable off sites. I looked into storj but you have to share like 100mb or something to make enough to pay for 1mb.
- vineyardmike 4y agoAmazon had a short period where they offered unlimited storage… and a few people took advantage of it too much so they stopped that. The product never really took off as a value add (too many other services). Amazon is also known to kill products but only ones no one uses.
- robotnikman 4y agoOh yeah I forgot about that. I think they originally planned to have integration with Plex too, but for somewhat obvious reasons that got axed.
