Stashing Your Stuff Online? - Comments Page 2

Mega.nz offers 50GB for free. and free folder sync. I found them after adrive.com stopped offering free online space.

Would it be safe to use cloud storage for files (MP3) that may have been illegally grabbed? Not that I would, you understand, but what if-?

Unless I can encrypt the data before it's uploaded I would never consider doing this with private files. Amazon sells 1TB Touro drives for under $50. and that's much safer than giving your files out to who knows who.

I suddenly find myself wondering how some Hollywood actresses would feel about storing their pictures online... :-D

I have an account with SpiderOak--you encrypt your data *before* you upload it, so only you have the keys. They offer 1 TB for $12 a month, but I only have their free 2G storage.
My networking friends suggest that if you want to store things like disk images, or your email files in the cloud, that you can expect lengthy wait times to download your files.
And then there is the issue of what happens if the file service you've stored all your photos on goes belly-up. Will they give you time to download your pics, or will they be gone with the service?

Hi, I am happy to use cloud storage, I have nothing that anyone else would find interesting,if I had something really that personal, it would go on my external drive. So, I pay about $11 per year for 20GB from Amazon Cloud. If it fits, I can put whatever I want there, no file size restrictions. They have a free one, but can't remember how much, obviously was not enough for me so I upgraded.

Correction --- I have an iDrive device and the device will store things on their cloud. It's so easy to work.

Possible Erratum: I'm getting 5GB from Dropbox at the moment. As far as I know, no one has listed me as a reference at signup time.

Also, Verizon Wireless subscribers can upgrade (for free) to 25GB/line "cloud" storage. I haven't looked hard into the management thereof.
