microsoft only lets you get up to 2TB of OneDrive as a consumer, what’s up with that. seems like a no brainer to let people pay more for more storage

There's an Ars review of cloud backup services: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/02/ars-archivum-top-cloud-backup-services-worth-your-money/ the winner is iDrive which doesn't seem to be related to either Apple nor BMW

I pay $20 a month for unlimited storage on google workspaces, theres like 16? TB up there. I've recovered disks from it a couple times, rclone is great and google never sees anything unencrypted.

Search is why I started this thread! Dropbox does great full text indexing except for markdown files  .My folders look like this: pre:Apps (apps that use Dropbox, e.g. Joplin) Archive (old projects that I keep because I have space but don't need) Documents Personal Kids (school forms etc) DJ (contracts, "press kit" lol, etc) Folders for various orgs I volunteer with Mackup (dotfile sync) Photos Personal photos Important memes Projects (was coding projects but these are mostly moved to github) Public (various publicly shared folders mostly :filez:) Scripts If I were 100% macOS I'd probably take advantage of the labeling system and do smart folders.

Oysters Autobio posted:resurrecting to quote this because im seriously at a loss and too embarassed to ask anyone how to actually organize my file drive docs or actually get windows search to be able to search my docs. https://www.voidtools.com/ combined with https://www.easyduplicatefinder.com/. the interface of the latter has been dumbed down which sucks, i would love an expert mode. it has a music fingerprint mode but that’s not very good. i still want something that can find similar jpgs with different resolutions/crops. for photos there is only one way that works: dir with year as name and subdirs with year-month-day containing photos. prune early and often because doing it later is more painful, especially with family pictures. i despise lightroom or bridge or whatever adobe poo poo trying to be smarter than a hierarchical fs. for music i use first letter folder containing artist - albumname containing mp3s/flac which are selfcontained naming wise, but retroactively tagging your music is a poo poo job. some people give a poo poo about the year it was released, i don’t. important thing is to keep your folders as shallow as possible. use partitions to separate roughly by category so music is on the music drive, documents are on the docs drive, and so on. only time real depth is allowed is when you have a node_modules . google drive just makes everything unfindable. just get a synology and dump to glacier. hope you never need it.

it's late 90s windows poo poo because when c:\ goes down i had no second computer to plop it in to flatten and reinstall. but partition is the wrong name for what my nas does which is basically faking a top level dir. either way it shows up as a different network drive which is a Good Thing because that means you don't have to commit to a certain size like w/ actual partitions, and you can't easily gently caress poo poo up (you can still gently caress poo poo up but the blast radius is smaller)

does anyone roll their own? i know theres a shsc thread but its long/ancient i feel like if i get a synology itll be easier but if it blows up i'm hosed whereas if i do some nerdass zfs low power small case thing ill at least be able to fix it if it breaks, either with parts or software will def mirror to amazon glacier or the gcp equivalent (which i should start doing right now)

for backups i use duplicati and it's been suiting my needs pretty dang well. i have it hooked up to backblaze and my 3 TB image comes out to less than $20 a month. i've had it running for over a year now with no issues and it's helped me restore poo poo / investigate what a file looked like 6 months ago several times now as for actual file syncing i still use dropbox but they keep pushing more and more 'collaboration' garbage all over it and it makes me more and more worried that they're going to pull a facebook and "accidentally" share all my poo poo with random people. literally all i want is the base dropbox functionality with none of the stupid bullshit tacked on to it. mega seems to be the only alternative that also offers encryption but sheesh they just go out of their way to be shady as gently caress to the point i feel like just downloading their poo poo will put me on a watchlist basically what i'm saying is that i understand your frustrations, op

gotta increase those profits! probably the only valid reason i have for rolling my own is exactly that "hey we're sharing your stuff with people now and also you don't mind us selling all your metadata to anyone who wants it right?" thing providers could do. with my aws stuff if that happens it's because i've hosed up config somewhere and it'll be a valuable lesson. also who the gently caress is going to notice one more unsecured s3 bucket among ten million others?

My aunt wants to save old photos from the early 1900s for our family 100 years in the future in case they are interested, and asked me what's the best cloud service to use. Actually, she didn't ask that, she said "you have a web site right? Can you put it on there?" So our priceless photos cloud strategy is to yeet PDF scans of photos onto my $3.50/mo vps  (I did tell her the best thing to do is literally print it because who's gonna go through my stupid vps when I die but no)

print them. print them yourself if you have to. some years ago my uncle decided to scan 100+ years of photos, save them to the cheapest CD-Rs he could find in the supermarket, and then throw the originals away because two shoeboxes of photos "took up too much space" in the giant house he lives alone in. luckily i made a copy of them after he was done, because he immediately lost half the CDs and the other half are already giving read errors.
