Best cloud storage (Windows and android)

413x · 17 Nov 2018 at 21:32

Looking for a good cloud storage option.
I probably need 500gb to a TB.

If price jumps are Steep 500gb would probably be ok.

Primarily been looking at one drive and Google.

I dont want anything I have to use browser for. Currently have one drive via free bonuses but these have run out.

I dont need office 365.

What do you guys recommend? I can' f info at the moment but I remember hearing Google were going to introduce some ultra competitive pricing soon?

Ah that is the new one? G suite?
I thought it was supposed to be cheaper than Microsoft?

Looks like I'll go with one drive. Its a no brainer if its cheapest

Unlimited storage is £6.60/m via GSuite Business, the T&C’s stipulate a 5 user minimum, however it’s never been enforced and I know people with over 1PB stored.

Dropbox Pro.

I’ve been a user for years and it ticks all the boxes.

I do this too. I think you need a domain for the DNS txt verification part?

Including dubious privacy issues.

Thanks for the input.
As I want a solution that is no fuss I've decided on one drive.
I only used 300gb before so it 1tb will be fine for now. Its the cheapest and comes with office 365. If I needed 2tb I'd go with drop box probably

Feels like one drive is a no brainer for most.

not fussed about privacy. This is mainly for photography

Yep, but that's under a fiver a year, combine it with a suitable VPS and you are laughing (unless you happen to have gigabit at home).

I've been on dropbox for years and never had any issues with it

Funnly eenough just had an email from Google about Google 1.

Procing confirmed at 3gbp for 200gb (not enough)
And 8 for. 2tb

So looks like I'm definitely going with one drive. 5 for 1tb is enough space with office as an extra.
