Best online Cloud storage host

[Winyabs]

Hi,

 

Just want to ask if somebody in here can suggest a cloud storage platform that would let me customize it like my own website and create users that can access the files.

 

Thanks

My all time favorite cloud storage application is Mega. They have an online site, as well as a desktop application and a app. They give you 20gb free cloud storage, but you can upgrade it if you require more. Have a great day!

I would suggest that you take a look at Filecamp. It allows for unlimited users and custom branding.

OMG $0,7 to $0,6 per GB? that's one hell of a premium just for branding.

It's not cheap, but having the ability to have a plethora of users is something OP seems to need. Filecamp is specifically created for designers who need to share smaller files like PSDs and PDFs.

I think branding and public facing is the only thing that will differentiate the cost. for $30 you get about 10 users and 2TB of storage with services like Dropbox, the storage scale cost is huge.

Both Dropbox and GSuite are suitable as a storage solution for sharing large files between employees. Knowing nothing of OP's business, it may be more cost-effective to avoid the $5-6/user costs if files are being distributed to clients.

you don't need users for clients in dropbox, for all they care they could use the free accounts and just leech of your storage. 

 

OP will select whatever he´s business requires, I'm just mentioning the storage scale cost of filecamp is huge. 0.6/0.7 per GB is about 35 times more expensive than services like S3 or GCP/Azure equivalent. the pricing just looks like they want to squeeze every bit they can per user using storage as an excuse (even factoring in egress).

 

I'm not saying the service is bad or anything, this is just based on the pricing per GB relation.

If it was personal or if your small business has no morals you can buy a .edu email and get I think it is google drive 5 tb storage for free?

 

EDIT: I think amazon also has this deal.

Credited universities and nonprofit organizations are eligible for free GSuite services with unlimited Google Drive storage. There are strict rules for registering a .edu domain, as the organization registering the domain must be on the U.S. Department of Education's list of Nationally Recognized Accredited Agencies. As for buying a fake @.edu address, you need to be a Google Apps for Education customer to receive free Google Drive storage.

Yeah I remember reading an article about a guy who purchased a .edu email on ebay, created a scraping program for cam sites and decided to find out how much he could store on amazon drive. The end result was somewhere in the 100s of terabytes of images/pictures.
