Online storage !!

[MiniMoke]

Hi all,

I have been looking a long time for a good, cheap online storage solution - with more and more digital photos and other data accumulating, we are of course aware of the risk of a hardware failure!

Local backup is of course the first line of defense, but if your house burns down.... bummer.

I have been using Dropbox for over a year now, with 100GB storage space plus some GB for some referrals. Now I got the expiration reminder for end of the months and, I guess 99$ are quite some money for everyone nowadays.

I have searched for alternatives and found this: COPY.COM

15GB free and 5GB for every additional referral (limited time offer for the launch period). Nearly identical features as Dropbox, speed is quite good, very good even, and if you need much more space, 250GB cost only 9.99$ a month!

Shared data only partly count against your limit, unlike Dropbox!

A real nice solution, just make sure you check out their offering!

I am not affiliated in any way with COPY.COM! But I'd like it if you used the following link to get an account with them. Doing this will net us both 5GB additionnal storage, so a whopping 20GB for you, better than Google Drive!

I just use the web hosting company I use for my photographic web sites. I already pay to host the sites and extra storage is cheap.

Also Flickr will store large JPEGS for free. It is trivial to make them private so others can't view them.

I have a home NAS that I use for primary storage.
I make a secondary copy once a month to a secondary NAS and back the primary up continuously to the cloud with Crashplan+.

Crashplan is unique in that it works directly from NAS boxes like QNAP and Synology and the fact that they allow seeding of the backup and recovery via shipped hard drive.

They also DO NOT throttle after a certain size and they allow unlimited size for $59.99, which if you are backing up a NAS box = 1 computer no matter how many client computers you run 🙂

It's fast, efficient and more importantly, high performance!

I have 50GB with these guys, works very well...

Only wish they allowed sorting of files in the iPhone app like Dropbox, maybe in a future release?
