Topic: Nice summary of free cloud file hosters (December 2014)

[devnullius]

Getting fed up with my old love box.com. I've seen RAM usage of over 22GB... Latest feat was that on both my pc's pretty much all folders disappeared instead of being synced. Luckily, the online copy is still complete, but my patience is over

So I found this list, will be testing a few of them

Go to the original page to find all links... There's a bunch + description

I saw that "MEGA" is on 1st place: https://mega.co.nz/

It works quite good but I have problem(s) with "Master Crypto Key"... (no backup ): https://mega.co.nz/#recovery

Also, the founder is "Kim Dotcom":  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Dotcom

His past project "Megaupload" is dead: http://scforum.info/index.php/topic,7396.0.html

Things I'll be looking for:

1. sync folder
2. (re)moving file, folder locally must be reflected online
3. no removal of files, ever
4. I can chose which folder gets synced. With box.com, this was possible through registry key
\54. it should work

I'm testing a solution with ftp (which is failing) and good ol' SkyDrive is number one choice at the moment. Reason? I participated in some promotions in the past and I followed up on their latest promotions. Giving me a 40GB total. Only 10GB less than box.com and still worth it

I might even combine two solutions... Create a subfolder in my SkyDrive for another cloud service. I'm still figuring things out.

D., what is your experience with Google Drive?

I tried before few months but for some reason it was terribly slow on my PCs.

My quota are filled with emails I presume... Never really used it for file backup. Maybe somebody else has some experience with it?
