I’ve been using a cloud hosting provider under sync.com, great for actively syncing my files between machines I might be using as well if I wished to have any employees’s later on as I was paying close to £30 a month I decided that it was best to self-host my files even if it was just by 10TB Hard Drives that only cost £200 each on Amazon (They are just USB External Ones).
I hope to be able to host my own NAS in the Future once my home office is complete (As we are currently painting and decorating the room) but well transferring all my files from my web-host I’ve been waiting over 7 days for the files to re-sync up to my PC for me to transfer each one into a new drive, it is painful and I can’t wait to be able to remove myself from the service in the near future.
Has anyone else had similar experiences with Cloud-hosting before?
That may be true, but I have had nothing but reliability from mine. Hell, there was one with a broken plastic SATA pin support and bent pins, and that thing still worked and tested fine for 3 more years.
As with all things, results may vary, but if you have a decent backup of your most important files, they are still the best bang for your buck to get a huge amount of storage, imo.
