You can get a 5TB tier for GDrive after you purchase the 2TB tier (it's not advertised otherwise).

(you can also go to 10TB or 20TB, but those are only billed monthly)

 

TBH, I'm not super familiar with the desktop experience for GDrive as I use Rclone to back things up to it.

Hello,

 

My current data storage situation is:

- 1TB SSD (boot drive)

- 4TB mass storage drive

- 2TB storage drive

- 1TB drive

---

- 1x external backup drive that backs up photos, videos, documents folders

 

I want to add a cloud back up to my storage solution but don't know where to start.

I want to back up 4TB of data, does anyone know any cloud services that can achieve this? As far as I could tell Microsoft one drive and google drive won't allow 4TB of data to be stored.

 

It would be ideal if I can simply select the folders I want to be backed up.

 

Thanks.

I have decided to use Google Drive 2TB option (after checking I only have 600GB of data to backup), with the google drive desktop app (I suspect it uses Rclone or something similar under the hood).

I could've used the Microsoft one drive 1TB option but it's too late now, Google already got my money.

Everything is going well currently, let's just hope there's no security issues in the future.
