Actually I tried and loved a service called live drive. You can get 5 tb for around 24 dollars per month sand that came with the ability if you wanted to, stream your music files off of your iOS device. The staff were very helpful and answered support requests in about 4 to 8 hours and worked with me until the problem was fixed. The site is a bit clunky to get around but it works if you know how to use all of the navigation and activating of objects ways vo offers.
