The security camera company #Arlo has emailed everyone to say that they are introducing a "Fair usage policy" to their plans because they noticed that a number of accounts are using a lot of #cloudStorage.
So, what is considered "fair usage" of a cloud subscription you pay £11/month for?
It's going from an unlimited number of 30 second clips over 30 days, to a limit of 60 clips at 30 second each over 30 days.
Or, you pay an additional £13 per camera per month, on top of the £11.
I have a NAS that I use to backup my devices. Now I want to periodically backup that NAS to some cloud storage.
There would be many uploads and very rarely (hopefully never) downloads. So uploads and storage should be cheap, but it's OK if downloads are expensive.
What software and host/cloud providers do you folks recommend? I want to encrypt the data before uploading.
Terrible user experience: Downloading or uploading a large number of files to or from #CloudStorage services like #DropBox and #OneDrive; I regret taking on this task.
Another item to add to my increasing feeling that I no longer love I.T. support.
Having reread this I am feeling drawn to raid the parts box and see if I can cobble together a #solarpowered#cloudstorage solution for #solarPunk and #permacomputing files? No time, but everything starts with an idea!
Vergesst doch mal eure Vorbehalte in Sachen #CloudStorage. Ich nutz das bedenkenlos, ich pack auch alle Keys und Kreditkarteninformationen da rein. Der Zugriff ist echt schnell, zuverlässig und nur für definierte Personen. Die #Cloud ist toll!
📄 Keep your documents organized in a shared cloud storage system for easy access and collaboration. Label folders with clear names and categories to stay efficient and avoid confusion. #organization#cloudstorage#officejeannie
I've been thinking of switching from Sync to pCloud - mainly to consolidate my family's separate cloud storage and to serve as a good home for video materials for projects.
The 10TB Family plan is a steep up-front, but seems worthwhile.
Anyone have issues with it? Anyone love it? Thoughts?
Hey @protonmail! It looks like your Drive Plus plan has the highest annual subscription price per GB amongst similar #E2EE#CloudStorage offerings: 24 cents/GB, compared to Tresorit's 14 cents/GB and Sync.com's 5 cents/GB.
Would you consider increasing the storage available on your plans while keeping current prices?
400-500 GB for Drive Plus and 1 TB for #Proton Unlimited would look fairer to me 🙂
Does any #mastoadmin know of a good backup solution for media files? I was trying to get backups to sync with Hetzners storage share system but doing it via WebDav is sorta slow with multiple files + encryption.
It works fine for database backups, just not the media files/folder.
Before anyone suggests AWS, I don't feel comfortable using an Amazon owned product/service for anything mastodon. I'd rather support someone smaller if possible.
I'm planning my escape from iCloud. Any recommendations for storage that dont mine data or use it for machine learning? Affordable is also great! #iCloud#ethical#cloudstorage#privacy#blockstorage? Please boost to give me more response as I think there are more mastodonians with the same question.
Unfortunately allowing public access to media requires either managing DNS through CF or being limited to a managed domain which is rate-limited and not intended for production use.
