It's what works for you. Honestly, I love cloud storage. I decided to go with Microsoft's OneDrive because it has unlimited storage, and if there's any data that I need encrypted, I can just encrypt a folder on the sync-drive.
Just remember to have a back-up of your photos and other digital things that you can't lose at an off-site location also. There are several solutions that can do this that doesn't involve the "cloud".
I love the cloud though. Could it be compromised? Maybe. Could a fire happen in my house where I lose everything? Maybe. But as it stands now, I could walk away from everything I own, walk into a store and pick up a cheap laptop and access all my data again. But that's just me.
Some people are paranoid about their privacy and data (and a justifiable paranoia, don't get me wrong), but use a solution that works for _me_ personally. Everyone is different and will need a different solution. There's really no one-size-fits-all.
- Veratyr 12y agoI'm just curious, how have you been able to avail yourself of their unlimited storage? I signed up too but their API rate limiting is draconian enough that I can't realistically use that for uploading large amounts of data. Their native clients might fare a little better but they require a ton of disk space if you're doing a large upload it seems.
- GoofballJones 12y agono, not yet, but from what I understand they'll be implementing it slowly. I mainly got it though because getting 1TB cloud storage for the price is still cheaper than Box or Google Drive or Dropbox, the "unlimited" is just icing.
