Back up everything for $10/month? That's appealing.

  For most people S3/Glacier hybrid zones are probably still cheaper. But gDrive is definitely more "noob" (or your mom and dad) friendly than AWS. Anything under 1TB is less expensive.

    How is it more "noob?" Considering the esoteric file format Arq uses, I will not call backups with it to Google Drive simple. If anything, they might be very confusing. I wonder is Stephan meant Google Storage instead... UPDATE: Just read that is uses "appdata" directory. Mom and dad will not 'see' the data.

      What's more confusing for a beginner/my mom, telling them to enter their gmail and password or having them log into AWS, create a new bucket, selecting the appropriate region, copy that super long unreadable ID and key, and take into account # of request and any delays during restore?
      • Fastidious 12y ago
        The second, for sure. You are right.

      Right. Also that means the backup data won't accidentally get copied to your hard drive by the Google Drive sync client.
