Yeah
i do have a 10tb Harddrive somewhere...
which im downolading everything over there right now

I am tempted about this




But that's $50 a month...
Surely, there a cheaper decent company out there..
Then again, Microsoft got their ass hacked again yesterday too...

Just buy some physical HDD’s and store your data there. Cheap as hell. Those also last 5-10 years, IIRC.

Edit: didn’t see this was already suggested but idc. Suggestion squared.

nothing beats having your info in physical hdd
A lot less headaches and peace of mind

It’s a $600 tax write off…worth the hassle and you get peace of mind too.

Have you looked at BackBlaze? $7 monthly unlimited storage.

 

[Richlove]

I like Backblaze's pricing but uploading and retrieving your data is painfully slow when you need it. I ended up building my own NAS out of a retired Dell Poweredge. Bonus having my own Plex server.

Unlimited Storage?
They are gonna scour through all my shit lol
Are they streamline available though?
I have family who takes alot of pictures (yeah most of those TBs are pictures)
They are not all tech savy either, I'm not around always either. & I don't want messages, MY PHONE HAS NO SPACE LEFTTTTTTTTTTT
Need a set up and forget solution really xD

@mudbutt @PHPInjected ^ kinda why It's not on HDD/SSD

Also, me and HDD/.SSDs dont get along haha, I travel lots, and I broke quite a few or lost them (This is more of a "me" issue than the HDD/SSD, im clumsy, forgetful and stupid)

You must be one cute mthrfckr if they take 12TB of images of you .. ;-)

How often and how much of do you access this data? If you access it very infrequently,
Backblaze has unlimited backup for 7$ as Roibox said. And no they don't harvest your data. The catch is the upload and download speeds are immensely slow.

If you need cloud storage. That $50 deal from OneDrive is really cheap. The cheapest object storage is Backblaze at 5$/1tb/month. At 50$, you will only get 10tb.

Why does google keep doing this. You should upload all your data to Telegram lol

I slit it into two sides
my own personal use
and family use and stuff
My personal usage is on SSDs and spread out on my own email accounts which has anywhere between 20-100gb each
Then I got google One for the family to share with their photos and shit.

lol, not sure if anytime has changed
I personally lost some vacation photos once since I backed it up all on a personal telegram group lol

wait...how? did you delete the group by mistake?

 

[Elvlin]

No more unlimited google storage suck lol

 

[timothywcrane]

Buy a bunch of gmails and redrive? Don't let them off the hook that easy. It might be a pain, but it could buy you enough time to find an alt without crunch time pressure (which can be costly).

 

[xReminisce]

wait...how? did you delete the group by mistake?

"Your device no longer has this picture/video/media anymore, downloading error"
or something along those lines
so its there fully blurred out on telegram but my devices can't grab it

or was that from the whatsapp group
can't remember, it was years ago

 

[Floch]

Yo reminds me of last year I was forced to move my cloud storage by Samsung as they are shutting down their cloud storage. Miss them.

This...


The amount is justified for data security (whatever the amount may be).


Taking physical backups is a big hassle (and don't forget about power consumption as well as accidents like fire etc). If you know how to manage RAID arrays, hats off to you. I would rather buy cloud storage.
