Cloud storage

[apaar123]

Which is the best storage with atleast 1tb a month and decent price (10$ max)
I will be saving my YouTube videos,game saves,music,movies and basically everything so speed should be good. If anyone can help me with it that would be great. Thank you

I don't know which one is the best under $10, but I can't recommend Dropbox enough. We use it at my office, and it's saved my skin multiple times when someone deletes or changes a file they shouldn't have, as you can just restore the file to whatever version you want.

Google Drive. You already have a free 15GB. $10/month for 1TB. Max file size you can upload is 5TB. Also available from these OSes; Windows, Mac, Android, iOS

I was just about to post this, Google Drive hands down is a worthy purchase.

Dropbox is cheaper if you pay the year upfront. $99 USD for 1TB a year. Or $10 a month.

i use mega.nz daily for 5 year now. its the cheapest and works like a charm

Nevermind, Mega.nz has the best pricing and service in my opinion. 10 Euros a month for 2TB's. Or 5 Euros a month for 1TB. I personally have used them for years and they are the best! Zero problems with them.

Google is more reliable though. Better security. Dropbox had a password leak last year. I lost all trust then. 68 Million passwords leaked.

Best place to start is a intern there. My Girlfriend's brother was an intern there for a few months.

test it first

mega.nz offers 50gb for free

test it and if you like it buy it

test all of then and get the best for you

Since no one else has mentioned this, you are looking at $120 a year to have a cloud account with 1TB of storage on average no matter who you go with. So why not at that price just purchase a 2TB hard drive such as this one: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148910

 

And use this promo code: EMCRFRF37 To get $10 off. $80 - $10 = $70 for 2TB for several years, rather than $120 a year for 1TB.

They can't be reliable either. They had a SQL and email leak not too long ago. About November of 2016.

Yeah and now that'll probably never happen again, plus it's even more secure than Google because they don't even have access to your password. It's end to end encryption. Your files are still very secure.

i doubt you're gonna find that at any company that'll be trustworthy enough to not randomly lose your data.

We already listed 3 at that price point for the storage amount. Google, Dropbox, and Mega. What are you smoking? Lol.

Yeah. I don't either. I would rather use Google cause they are more sophisticated into their encryption.

Well actually is still expensive considering the price Google pays for the storage... Lets say they spend $30 per TB of storage (which it was probably less than that considering the bulk they bought it in), now if someone buys 1TB of storage for 3 months they already paid that TB back. From there on out it's pure profit.

we all know what mega's main audience is, and dropbox... feels really unreliable for some reason.

but the cost of power, the hardware that is connected in front of the drive, google's stupid amounts of redundancy, network cost, and so on.

Me still wonders why topic starter would need an cloud storage. Why not just get another HDD, or external HDD if he wants it to be mobile. Or a NAS. Or well, remote desktop style software, webserver with open dir/front end/FTP server crap? Way cheaper + you remain in controll of all your stuff.

because some people dont want to deal with potential issues, and rather pay someone else to do it.

I found a way to solve all of this. Buy a 5TB HDD and just when you need it unplug it, and put it in your pocket.
