10 TB free cloud storage

[ArisVer]

And I thought SurDoc was good with 100 GB free storage.


Instructions on the link below. Haven't tried it because for me it's worthless. Too much space for so little.

Thanks, but call me cynical.

And why do Los Alamos engineers get an extra 5tb free?

j/k

Clouds get hacked. Every one of them is vulnerable. I was offererd infinite cloud storage for $5 a month by my worldclass broadband carrier, RCN. I said no thanks. I am sticken with my internal backup strategy.

I am careful of what I upload. I don't mind anyone looking at my pictures and I don't upload them all.

I was amazed at the amount of storage they offer. And there is another Chinese company that offers 36TB. Nothing comes close that's free of charge.

I could never bring myself to trust any 'cloud'. I have stuck to my own method of backing up my data. Separate partition for short term, and DVD-R for long term. I might consider using a cloud service for linking to images and such though, if that is possible.

I ditto this. Every day, wicked scary accounts of hacking on the net. Now, including a major White House hack, one beyond the usual.

Just the word CLOUD, now.....generates responses it never did before.

Too many friends, now all Apple, whose devices are inexorably entwined/linked/synched/merged.....I think, are all living in a Fool's Paradise.

FYI, MS now offer "UNLIMITED" one drive with Office 365 subscription.

O yeah.......I would totally trust MS with....NOTHIN.

 

[John Connor]

Suuuuure, I'm going to upload all my stuff to a server in China.

:thumbsup: Right.....
Just so they can sell it to a 3 letter government agency.

 

[lxskllr]

In both cases, that's a lot of storage. I don't trust any any "cloud" service to be around for the rest of my life, but spreading things around would give good redundancy on the cheap. Encrypt everything before upload, and it should be as good as any backup that isn't in your house in an unbreakable(hah!) cage.

This....is an increasingly, crazy scary world. In my city...I'm not TRIVIALIZING that Manhattan remains a major target for terrorists, there are surveillance cameras EVERYWHERE.

And GPS, smart cars, smart TVs.... all that stuff, a mixed blessing.

With so many better options, I never get why anyone wants to upload anything to some phantom server (or CLOUD) with strange humans in charge.

And when X rated selfies/videos appear all over the net, people are shocked?

Every major corporation & agency retains stand alone FAX machine to send & receive confidential documents. I do as well. In a closet, but when I need it I take it out and use it and feel safer.

:thumbsupitto. My fax machine is even one of those heat transfer type deals, so if I burn the document, no info can be recovered from it.

Encrypted....but in no way IMPERVIOUS.:|

Wow. I nevah saw one of those! But, bet it's made like a tank and will last forever! I have no respect for people who blindly diss old school or buy into newer is inherently better.

*Nothing* is "impervious". Anyone who thinks so is a fool.

It's a Panasonic KX-F160, thermal transfer is what they call it I guess. No ink or toner. It's all in the paper, kind of like some stores have for their receipt machines.

U bet! But tons of humans believe otherwise! Including infinite recent victims of hacking who used their CCs shopping in huge brick and mortar stores.

Way! But doesn't the paper cost a lot? I mean, more than plain paper like mine uses. Of course, mine uses ink carts.

Subscription you say? Sounds like a great deal.

DVD-R for long term

I would suggest you don't trust DVD-R to stay readable for a long time, unless you mean a few years at best.

 

[ArisVer]

I would suggest you don't trust DVD-R to stay readable for a long time, unless you mean a few years at best.

I don't see anything wrong with DVDs. I have a few CDs I copied 15 years ago and they are okay. Just store with care.

I have CD-Rs & DVD-Rs that I have recorded 10-15 years ago. They are just as good as the day I burned them. I do store them carefully, and I hardly use them. They are always stored in a cool, dry, dark closet. I never leave them out more than is absolutely necessary. Not one has failed me yet.

Some of them constantly evolve too, like picture discs that I add to from time to time.

It's not terrible. $30 for 4 rolls @ 168' at Staples.

Office 365 Home $99 per yr for 5 devices.

If you have family of 4 and ever growing pictures, music, movies collections. It is not a good deal? That is $25 per person and I don't have to buy HDs and worth about lost of data.

You use smart phone of any kind? FB? Webmail?
