I forget two things to mention. S3 Storage from Amazon is very inexpensive. - but not nearly as easy to use, but it has its followers.
And this service can help if - like me use various Cloud Services for data, and want to hit them all from one interface.. http://storagemadeeasy.com/ Bob Lee -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Malcolm Greene Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2014 5:49 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [NF] Advice on selecting cloud storage and backup services? I'm overwhelmed with the options for cloud storage and backup. Anyone have a favorite service they would like to recommend or a service to definitely avoid? My use cases are cloud accessible storage for roaming Windows/Mac laptops daily workstation/server(?) backups, and limited secure file sharing between a limited number of parties. Over the years I've used rsync.net (thanks Ted!), Box.net, and Dropbox. Anyone have any experience with Amazon S3, Rackspace CloudFiles, Google Drive(?), Microsoft Skydrive, or Apple iCloud? My understanding is that Amazon and Rackspace offerings are more tailored for hosted solutions (CDN, replication, etc), while Google, Microsoft, and Apple solutions are more consumer services. I have no experience with any of the backup services like Carbonite or BackBlaze. Appreciate your advice/experiences. Thanks!
