A cautionary tail regarding data loss…
Despite my best efforts, my wife has resisted for years my requests for her to stop relying on iCloud and Dropbox and move her cloud storage onto our NAS which has perfectly good file sync and backup clients.

I want to sync my entire home directory between two different computers (not on the same network). Is DropBox the best solution for this, is there something better? #sync #cloudstorage

So, since I am wounding down my own company, and the Office 365 licenses will expire, I need to find alternative, and non-US based, cloud storage. I have whittled the options down to pCloud vs. kDrive. Anyone care to comment on these choices?

Sooooooo, people, a "cloud" storage provider that offers data encryption (no one without a key can't access the files) - which would be better, Tresorit, Jottacloud or Internxt? (Honestly I'd prefer Jottacloud but I'm open to other options.)
I don't think I really *want* self-hosting my own "remote drive", as I struggle with, for example, encrypting/decrypting a WebDav "vault" on Android (and I don't want to pay for Cryptomator).

drat!
Google drive costs just ₹1300 a year for 100 GB lol

So fucking tempting.

Microsoft is ₹1499

Filen is ₹1200+

Proton Drive is ₹2640 (but for 200 GB)

Zoho is ₹1700 pre tax.

Google's option is incredibly tempting me to save some money

What do you think?

Great news from Munich, Germany!

Thank you to connect professional and everyone who voted for us!

Thanks to so many recommendations, I'm now using @jottacloud for my cloud storage. I've really been happy with it so far. Very affordable. I do still want to host my own storage at some point, and will surely use @nextcloud when I have the funds for some hardware.

Reluctantly, about to pay for a 5TB #GoogleDrive subscription because it will cover my whole Let's Play/Stream archive folder.

Been using #idrive backup but it just. Doesn't work with a data set this big, backups never complete.

Not sure there is another competitively priced option. Would love an excuse to pay google less, but it needs to be GOOD. This is a business-tier need.

Fediverse friends,

Some time during the last couple of weeks one of you posted or boosted a "cloud storage" meme-ish post that featured a closet with clouds neatly stored on the shelves.

Now for some reason I can't find it.

Can any of you remember where it came from and if possible put me in contact with whoever made it?

Unhappy with the recently lost file upload feature in the Nextcloud app for Android? So are we. Let us explain. - Nextcloud

Probably a bad idea, but who _doesn't_ want their own #selfhosted #cloudstorage solution?

`synk` is a simple, single binary self-hosted webservice that allows anonymous key-based data storage and retrieval.

Am considering subscribing.

What do you think? It's FOSS (https://github.com/FilenCloudDienste) and encrypted.

Looking for a Canadian-based cloud storage provider? Try Sync.com.

They are currently running a discount on their Canadian Cloud Storage.

I've used their Windows app for 10 years, and it is reliable and secure.

They have a Mac app now, and recently introduced Team features, but I've not tried either of those. There is no Linux app.

Aside from being a customer, I have no business or personal affiliation with them.

If your cloud storage is in Outer Space, who has jurisdiction over it, eg "Can Fascist Governments make demands?"

For all my friends in the UK that will be impacted by Apple’s Advanced Data Protection features being shut off, should consider transferring your storage from iCloud to @protonprivacy Drive. It’s E2EE and I’ve been using for almost a year and enjoying it.
