I was going to tag this onto the NAS thread but it seemed a bit of a tangent....
Anyhoo, slightly disappointed that I've got a new Samsung phone and they no longer throw in 100GB of free OneDrive any more
I don't really want to throw money at OneDrive if I have to so I'm weighing up OneDrive/GoogleDrive/Dropbox/etc. (i.e. paid services) versus self-service - raw AWS space, local OwnCloud/NextCloud.
I only need it to auto-upload my photos so I can grab them from a PC.
OwnCloud or NextCloud might be the cheapest but they only seem to play nice with Linux these days. I could go down the Docker route I suppose... ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Really, works well with Andoid, Linux, and even a Windows machine I help look after, can't say I've come across any problems.
Not too sure how you view docker as a cloud storage platform? Unless you mean, run owncloud via docker instance. Of course, there is still the dropbox option, but, I moved away from dropbox, for, fairly obvious reasons.. ____________________ Beware what photos you upload, or link to on here, especially if you have family members on them |

Good point, might be a good idea for a final destination; port of last resort sort of thing.
As for Office 365 I already have an account provided by my office but I'm not going to clog up my works account with pr0n personal stuff
Regarding OwnCloud/NextCloud they have clients for all platforms but the server only runs on Linux or as a Docker instance. OwnCloud used to work on Windows servers but apparently they stopped supporting that a while back and NextCloud has no Windows server support at all.
Hmm... my current home server is a little Mini-ITX thing running Windows and it's been very reliable running Serviio, etc. I have been meaning to upgrade it to a later i5 CPU and motherboard that I salvaged from a job a while back. I suppose I could convert it to an ESXi server at the same time and just run Windows and Linux as instances. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Well I needn't have panicked: while OneDrive is bleating over the cloud storage dropping back to 5GB I discovered Samsung were also backing up all the photo's to their own storage... up to 15GB for free (probably why they dropped the OneDrive offer.)
Anyway, Google Photos is easy enough so I've set it the task of backing up all my photos - just shy of 10,000
I think I might head over to the NAS thread and reconsider my current setup. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 4 years, 220 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
