I just want to sync my photos and videos of my phone while keeping the same folder structure instead of a big mess of all files in a single bucket, and having a clear indication whether a file I'm deleting on the cloud will be deleted on the phone and vice versa. Google Photos fails on all of these items.

Agreed on Sync's poor performance when it comes to speed. I use it however because it uses zero knowledge encryption, which as a freelancer is important to protect client data. If Sync ever improved their speed though to the likes of Dropbox, it would be perfect.

I went with the pCloud 2TB lifetime a few years ago during its Black Friday sale. The main feature I like is it appears as an external HDD, making it easy to access from the command line, e.g. with robocopy, etc. It confuses Google Drive with it asking if I wish to back up my P drive. 😁 Originally I found it slow until they gave the option to move my data to a European data centre. It also has a useful web hosting feature where the files appear as a static html website or or let users users browse and choose what to download.

Google I believe no longer offers unlimited storage. I was on that package when I noticed alarm bells going off saying that I no longer had space with my Unlimited Google Workspace Drive. They switched to a pooled storage solution where each account you add to your Google Workspace you get a combined storage of 5TB per account you are paying for. So for example right now, I went from Unlimited Storage to 5TB then I added two more accounts to my Google Workspace and I now have 15TB of Google Workspace Storage. :-( I'm not happy about it but what can we do.. lol ..

Was this video louder then your other ones? I'd have liked a "This is when a NAS would make more sense financially" comparison. E.g. my SO and me have 5 computers between us and using time machine for the macs and macrium for the pcs is crucial for us to make sure we can continue working without data-loss, as soon as a replacement part or replacement machine arrives or sometimes even before that, just in case of hardware failure on those machines. (For her as a teacher, it's crucial to not loose all her prepared courses and tests which can rack up quite the volume. For me as a developer it's mostly the uninterrupted continuation of work in case of hardware failures, since most of the crucial data is either on git repos or in case of documentation and project management data on other SaaS services). What many people also seem to not know is that in the Office365 family subscription, every member gets 1TB of cloud storage, which is more then enough for most use cases. And I'd wager a guess, that a ton of people have an office365 subscription. If you ever do a "Cloud storage vs NAS - What's the best fit for you?" video, could you also try to find out why HDD drives are seemingly not getting cheaper nowadays? Is it really just that all the R&D is in SSDs and not HDDs?

@ThePsho

I think a lot of people use cloud storage to supplement physical drives, not replace them. It's a matter of redundancy. You could buy an external drive, maybe 2-3. You could also set up a NAS or home server with multiple drives running a RAID (2+ drives that hold identical storage) with multiple backups. You could even store files on flash drives and hide them in various locations. However, now we're spending a lot more money. But, the main problem with physical storage is, they are always prone to complete failure. However unlikely, imagine something catastrophic. Fire, flood, earthquake, house falls into sink hole. Drives get destroyed, data is gone. Cloud storage is pretty close to fail safe. Some of that monthly cost is peace of mind. Also, cloud storage is a little more user friendly to the less-tech-savvy. My parents have iPhones, they back up to iCloud, and probably wouldn't if it weren't essentially built-in automatic. Bottom line, you ideally want both multiple physical backups and cloud backup.

@@ThePsho I understand things happen! I also understand the need to ensure we have reasonable safety measures in place. I also believe companies feed on paranoia. I’m soon to be 73. I bought my first home in 1974 for 10k. It wasn’t much. No garage, nothing fancy but the roof didn’t leak. Over the years I’ve had negative thing happen to me. Some times it was my fault and sometimes not. The death of my daughter was the only thing that was unrecoverable. I’ve been through earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding and such but never lost it all except in my first divorce.even then everything is replaceable. Just like Y2K tech’s seem to over state things. I have so much backup I can hardly find stuff. My bigger problem have been with having saved files that now I can’t open because programs keep evolving. Redundancy is a luxury not a necessity. Cash however is always needed.

Mmmm dear Tom, the problem with external drives vs cloud storage are mainly 2; 1.- unless you carry the driver literally EVERYWHERE, you will not have access to your documents. Imagine your computer gets damaged and all you have is your mobile at the moment, and need access to those files. Problem #2 is that external storage tend to fail, and if your info is in there and out of the sudden gets damaged, or is stolen… bye bye Info. The latest trend is to use a NAS, more expensive, but safer somehow. It seems that the closest thing to our heart nowadays is our mobile. Anyway, I also admit that when it comes to choose 1 service… storage is like a box of chocolates… you never know what you’ll get.

Excellent review of some of the dominant providers. Clear and concise. 👍 Bearing in mind that not all platforms are zero knowledge encrypted, and Dropbox (for example) openly states that it will scan users' data (and allow some third parties to do the same), using a completely independent encryption software is a necessity. No matter the Cloud storage provider's data security policy, including compliance with requests from legal authorities, your data will always be private.

Thank you! Yep most of the big cloud names will do that, great to have options such as Sync! Surprised Apple actually performs quite well there to set your own encryption, though they still scan your photos for face matching etc which is interesting how they achieve that on encrypted data 👀

​​@@PeteMatheson And they say iCloud is really about privacy. If it is like you said, then it defeats the purpose😅 What about family videos? Is Apple able to scan individual faces in the video as well?

I think google drive is way better than onedrive. Remember you cant do a network drive on onedrive. So even though it is in the cloud, onces you click on a file it will download everything on your computer. So if you dont have space, it will fill up your space fast. With Google it acts like a network drive. Meaning no space is taken up.

pCloud: you should mention that pCloud is focused on lifetime plans. Here it has long price advantages. Also encryption can be purchased per one-time, no subscription. pCloud compared itself with a harddrive you buy.

None of those. MEGA all the way. It’s the only open-source cloud, the only one with end-to-end security, the only one with Linux support, and the only one offering 20GB of free storage.

Okay, so I'm a university students and whenever I wanna do work with my group matesx it's always hard to transfer files, photos and videos with them. I thought why not use a cloud storage and decided to try out drop box. But, the problem here is that most of my group mates can't afford a plan for a cloud storage and when using drop box, it uses everyone's storage instead of mine alone. So, do you know any cloud storages or a software of some kind that when you share a folder, it will consume the owner's storage and not everyone's (like drop box) or whoever posted the new file (like Google drive).

Watched your video, mainly hoping to see the differences between “app functionality.” I did not really hear information that I wanted. I am presently looking for an alternative to Google one storage only not syncing. I have an Apple phone so I recently subscribed to iCloud only to find out that they do not even have a functional app so I’m going to cancel that. I am very satisfied with the Google Drive app and I’m looking for something that is similar and think I’m going to try out Dropbox. If you have any additional information or comments, that would be appreciated, thank you very much for your great work.

From a phone app perspective, I'd usually recommend Google or Apple, particulaly if you're on iPhone. Otherwise yep something like Dropbox would be worth a try, they've been around for a long time and have had a while to really make their app shine!

Is Google Drive slow for you as well? When I create a large file (video) in my Google Drive (mac) I have to wait for the file to be synced to cloud first, only then I can open it. It drives me crazy. (Stream option selected)
