Affordable Online Storage/Google Drive Slashes Prices
There must be a number of people here using cloud backup actively. I've been a casual Dropbox user but with Google Drive significantly reducing prices <http://androidkenya.com/?p=540>, I think I'll it more actively and consistently. What are the general experiences listers have on cloud storage use? How about drawbacks? Other than the usual Internet speeds and data caps? Is Google Drive a with the new pricing a good option? I'm especially thinking of the 1TB for $9.99 a month option (KES 863.64*12 = 10,363.68 per year) Best, James W. -- gtalk : jwaciira | skype : jwaciira
Been using skydrive (oneDrive) for some time and it works like a charm. I have a local folder where I drop files I want to backup and it syncs automatically when there is connectivity. It then replicates the data to other devices you have added to SkyDrive/OneDrive. Will give a try to the Google Drive and compare the two.

On a light note...The National Intelligence Service likes this post! :) It's now easier for them to get hold of your documents since you store them online! :) On 14 March 2014 10:38, James Waciira <jwaciira@gmail.com> wrote:

If you have privacy issues, Skydrive, Box, Dropbox should be off your list of preferred cloud providers. Every now & then we hear some of this sites being hacked & other sell account holder information. We have datacenters in Kenya that can give you storage space. Atleast you'll know where your data seats & that no one is snooping around your stuff.

I just use a hybrid of all of them - gives me more free space! Dropbox for things that change often, google drive for scanned copies, onedrive for documents, iCloud & iTunes match for my music - No one said you must be a darling of one specific one! ./Ok3ch On Fri, Mar 14, 2014 at 12:33 PM, Moses M.G <mouzmuyer@gmail.com> wrote:
