Ask HN: What is the best cloud storage provider for Linux?
Hi HN.
I am looking for cloud storage, which has:
- sync on demand
- can be mounted as a drive on Linux
- speedgoose 4y agoFor servers, I would go with a S3 compatible cloud storage. You can mount is as a drive on Linux using a FUSE S3 client. The best S3 compatible cloud storage depends on your location, your needs, your budget. Remember to check the bandwidth cost. For example, AWS S3 is overpriced by design if you use it to download files outside AWS.
- warrenm 4y agowhich client would you recommend?
- speedgoose 4y agoI would avoid mounting to the file system if possible. But if it's a must, s3fs may work. I havn't used it in production personally. Otherwise as classic S3 clients I like Cyberduck on mac, and s3cmd on the CLI. Minio's mc CLI tool is also worth to mention if I want something much smaller than s3cmd.
- aborsy 4y agoAWS S3 has been the best in my experience, if you can afford the egress fees.
- ThePhysicist 4y agoI like Tresorit, works quite well on Linux, has end-to-end encryption and can mount your files as a user filesystem. Syncing works pretty well, too.
