Like really I would have expected by 2023 someone would have made something that isn't completely trash. The best one is of course Dropbox so far, but even Dropbox doesn't do full-text indexing of markdown files which is what prompted me to make this great post. Anyway I really home this is the year someone makes a good file sync thing that has a web interface where I can search my markdown files along with all the other files.

i could really use a cloud storage thing but they're all hosed up in one way or another so i've never actually settled on one. dropbox seemed decent ages ago but i don't hear a lot of good things lately and i don't have a lot of faith in the company itself. seriously how haven't they been acquired yet? onedrive would be fine but the ios app does some really stupid poo poo, biggest one being the photos tab doesn't just index the photos folder, rather in indexes any and every image file anywhere in your onedrive making it kind of useless. no, microsoft, screenshots, memes, and album art aren't my loving photos. the web version of onedrive does the same thing but has an option to only show photos in the photos folder. ios app doesn't have this because ?? ???? ??? never tried google. maybe it's good? they probably won't kill it someday, right? idk. lol at using icloud if you aren't 100% in the apple ecosystem, and even then from seeing how it performs, probably still lol and all the other services are small-potatoes also-rans that usually fall flat on their face someway, usually really bad iOS support or weird limitations

i have an aws instance that has git repos, a postgres instance, and other stuff on it where i put important stuff. probably a lot more expensive than existing services when it comes to storage or bandwidth costs but whatever. all the stuff i have worth having backups for is text or code or small db tables or other small files so it doesn't really matter also i like building overly complicated lovely systems by hand instead of using existing solutions so this is perfect for me

very much same status of all of them sucking so i went with onedrive for the combo of being cheapest and in an ecosystem i already use. cheapest at the time that is, the relative costs of cloud storage services (expressed in any way conveniently, e.g. as a single chart) has since become forbidden knowledge, a wall of ai garbage being the google search results. i suspect it remains true or near true.

Bloody posted:the Dropbox ui is unbelievably bad It really is. I get that nobody uses the web ui most of the time and just relies on whatever file manager you're using on the computer you're syncing to but every once in a while I need that web ui and it makes me sad in my heart.

I might gently caress around and set up an ownCloud, so that when I inevitably misconfigure something and lose all my data I can say more like ownedCloud.

post hole digger posted:backblaze after cleaning up a bunch of old drives, yeah. i use icloud for goofy images etc. since it's simple enough on windows, but any real files live on a network drive that i backblaze and can pull from any os locally it was handy when i was condensing and sorting old file because i deleted something, realized it was meaningful, and pulled the backup

I don’t like it! gimme the old “literally just a folder, that shows up on multiple computers” If you use the dropbox daemon then you get exactly "literally just a folder that shows up on multiple computers" without any of the garbage.

I back everything up that I want vaguely backed up on a second disk. Anything that is actually hyper critical goes onto the storage of web space, if it's not already on github or whatever. Backup services all suck and somehow manage to gently caress up the most basic poo poo.
