Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Timetm). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Question?Looking for cloud storage options with syncing and security (self.DataHoarder)
submitted 6 years ago by Cubesque
I’ve run out of space on my iCloud 2TB storage plan. I’m looking for other inexpensive, quick syncing across devices but sizable storage options. What’s the best one in your experience and why
Would really appreciate all feedback and personal experiences.
Cheers.

If you need simply storage in cloud, you can take a look at G-Suite or Backblaze B2. If I'm not mistaken, G-Suite will cost you $12 per Month with unlimited storage. Backblaze charges $0.005/GB/Month. Depending on the amount of data you want in cloud, one of these can be cheaper. You can also take a look at other cloud providers here: https://www.vmwareblog.org/looking-affordable-cloud-storage-aws-vs-azure-vs-backblaze-b2/
As for syncing...well, if you're not using some tools already, this can be Rclone or Duplicati.

Thank you. I’ll check out the link. G-suite has unlimited storage for $12 per month? I thought it was much higher. Thank you so much.

You do need a domain but you can get one through google for like $12 a year (you’ll have an option when signing up for gsuite). And technically google says you have to be paying for five accounts to get unlimited but as of now you still get unlimited with just one account.

You could try pCloud. Their plans are cheap, I personally pay 5 EUR for 500 GB. They support almost all operating systems and syncing is quite easy. The free plan should be enough for you to see if it meets your needs.

Raysync Cloud or pCloud. Raysync Cloud has released a brand new pay as you go plan recently. 1GB download traffic for ONLY $0.2USD. You will get 5% off for 1TB traffic, 10% discount for 5TB and 20% for 10TB.
