I'm sick of carrying around external HDs for my samples.. Is there any service that permits massive upload space and is safe to use and organized neatly? Free vs Paid ?

 

No.

 

I'm sick of having to eat, shave and shit. Oh well. ;)

 

There's nothing safe since Donald Duck rules. And I mean Donald - the shame of the United States.

 

Yes, I just got this unlmited Google Drive account via ebay for 10 bucks
http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNLIMITED-G...392495?hash=item211d5a85af:g:3IIAAOSw-0xYUFlj

It's from an educational system, Gsuites, and it really is unlimited. Incredible. I put 500 GB of comics there the last couple of days, went nicely. It supports huge files, one file can be up to 5 TB! ONE...FILE! crazy

 

Thanks. Just decided to buy..it's 10 bucks..What's the worse that could happen? Thanks for the tip.

 

Let's assume that everything is super safe and wonderful, are you planning to upload a few 10 GB libs on the cloud and then stream them and use them direclty in your projects? Would that be practical?

 

Unlimited Space for ~5$/Month --> https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/home
50GB Space for free --> https://mega.nz

Mega has even a Sync Utility works pretty good so far.

 

It's quite useful when you like to sync presets and settings of 2 Computers, e.g. macOS , Windows10

 

This thing looks too nice to be true...

 

It is working well. Put all my tutorials there, 400gb. Can watch them streamed directly on my phone even. Cool stuff.

 

guess #CloudBleed answers the question... :P

 

Ok so normal files are safe in the cloud... Are r2r vst's and sample packs safe in the cloud as well?

 

II concur, Although if it isn't to good to be true then I really do appreciate the people that brought it up and pointed the good stuff out, I couald/would find such a thing extremely beneficial for backing up stuff that does not involve disk drives, Even complete images of my OS with everything working just as I want/need them to be, I guess at the most optimal and then once shit has started to clog up by simply demoing stuff, I can just use either a backup image of an external or from one of the above mentioned cloud solutions, It just seems far too unlimited in scope for the very small amount of monthly shekels.

I'll definitely check back to hear how people are getting along with the service, If it is as good as it sounds then I'll be throwing down for it. Cheers and best to all as always

There's plenty of free or paid space in the clouds. But don't assume for a second it would be safe. A provider can go broke, hackers love attacking clouds (and were successful already in the past), some providers like Google or Amazon constantly scan your space to analyze you and make money from the gathered data, etc.

If you are not concerned about any of the above, go ahead using the cloud for important files. Otherwise better use ridiculously cheap hardrives to store your data, for example as raid 5 or 6 (NAS is your friend). A regular backup brought to another physical place and you will be safe throughout your lifetime.

 

Cloud lol, i remember when all that cloud thing started everybody was yeahhh let's upload on cloud it's safe, and something came through my mind hey all that data has to be stored on some biGGGG hard drives so someone will manipulate with that,( buzzer) wrong not safe!

 

cloud... short memories... google about kim dotcom and megaupload ( not MEGA )

ehhh here you go.. you think anyone cares about you ..or your files ?

As Herr Durr says, if they mess up they don't really care, they might tell you eventually if any data gets lost, but they'll not explain in case you realise how badly they can mess up. One data centre got their basement deluged in a flash flood and they had the backups in the same room. Mistakes are made.

 

smells like a reckless negligence suit to me... that's data safety 101 , don't keep all the copies in one place DUH

 

Nothing is safe in the cloud, security wise. And Donald has zero to do with it. lol
Obama, that is a whole different story.
