Ask HN: What Cloud storage provider(s) do you use?

by lunch on 9/7/16, 3:26 PM with 14 comments

Dropbox, Google Drive, One Drive, S3, etc?

Why?

If more than one, do you put specific files in one over the other?

    Onedrive. Microsoft gives out storage every time I turn around. I think I have upwards of 300GB available at this point.

    S3 because I am essentially tethered to the AWS ecosystem after receiving AWS credits from Y Combinator Office Hours. This is no complaint, I love the ecosystem.

    Dropbox for syncing between computers S3 for backups and photos with mirroring to Google Drive (For faster restores) S3 for blog/static sites

    OneDrive as I've got an O365 account and it backs up my pics on my Android phone :)

    I've got a (paid) Google Drive account too and I'm considering using it for replication. Does anyone have an IFTT recipe to copy files between providers?

    Forgot to add that I've got a free Dropbox account with old, unimportant stuff.

    I use SpideroakONE

    https://spideroak.com

    ( even though it's encrypted, I still encrypt it on the cmd before pushing it into the cloud )
