Re: Online Storage
Most of the concern is with privacy and security. Considering how many large companies were hacked recently, from home depot to target to HSBC, it doesn’t help as far as my confidence is concerned. Knowing that you have the control of your data is far better feeling than some engineer going through your files… yes that is really simplifying it but at the end of the day “cloud ” really is just bunch of storage arrays/disks made to look seamless “storage ” available to you and the other customers. Behind that **pretty **amazon cloud, dropbox or google cloud app, there are a lot SAN storage and hardware.
I have 3 NASes at home, thinking about building 4th one. As far as data, from PC data is available (using macrium to backup and sync), my phone data is synced to the NAS using FolderSync app and same with tablet that I use for reading, taking it further, scanned documents from the printer are also available to phones, tablets, PCs through same storage.
I will give you that but I dont have much data that needs backup just the photos and music. The one thing that I love is that google keeps my photos on google photos and drobox is a secondary backup. I do perform data backups at home on the 3 TB drives that I have.
