Do you primarily use: 1. Local hard drive 2. iCloud Drive 3. Google Drive 4. Dropbox 5. Chaotic mess 6. Other
Almost all 3 and consistently anxious about the growing need to back everything to a local hard drive
1. Google Drive 2. iCloud Drive 3. Local hard drive 4. Chaotic mess 5. Assorted 6. Dropbox
mostly 1, some 3, but ideally 6 (a local NAS that I can consolidate all my family’s files into a single space)
1, 3 (for photos), and 6 (Standard notes and Skiff). trynna move away from google as much as possible
Strong 1, light 3, strong 4, light 5 In exploring ways to break from Dropbox, I tried setting up a FileRun server on my web hosting but the NextCloud client has refused to work for a while now on both Mac/PC 😒
def 5. 1 till first data loss. 2 till out of space. 3 till nation state and legal adversaries have an aum/trustee'd amt worth going after you for 4 for work. Would love pplz comments on this Chaotic mess https://medium.com/@chimera_defi/how-to-setup-a-dead-mans-switch-for-ethereum-validators-2d31ef42ef6b
3 and 4 Notion for all docs 3 for Slides and Sheets 4 for file storage
nice try to see my opsec hacker man (sometimes i let 2 + 4 fight over custody of files tho)
1, 5, NAS, and self-hosted syncing tool across 1 and NAS. I use iCloud for some specific stuff though. I am stuck using shitty onedrive for work since it is Microsoft for compliance reasons.
1 with a bit of 2 -- and for 6 I have some content in Skiff Drive, but I'm looking to set up a personal server instead
1 and 2 pretty in sync, 3 for anything sharing within company
Local hard drive / desktop / downloads for sketching Dropbox for work / personal project org External drives to archive projects Backblaze everything
Switched from local hardrive to Microsoft cloud recently (PC user). Blown away about how much an improvement it’s been. Obsessed with interoperability between my laptop PC, a home desktop, my iPad and iPhone.
All my code etc goes in iCloud (2) If I need to share something it goes in Google Drive (3) I backup once a month to backup hard drive (1) So I don't know if that's a chaotic mess or if I just have major redundancy
Heavy 2 personal, 3 work. Keen to explore other that’s external.
iCloud Drive is where most stuff goes for me. Though I have a scanner that can push stuff right to the cloud, and it heads to Google Drive. I'd rather use Dropbox because, well, UX, but don't feel like paying for it since I already have Google.
1, mostly for personal. 3, for longer term stuff or meant for sharing. 2, when I need to do some random shit on my iPhone by downloading then opening on some app.
For now 2. But I’m hoping with apple opening up to external keys, I’m hoping to transition to it. Big hurdle is photos.
1. Local hard drive -- main storage 2. iCloud Drive -- iPad backup 3. Google Drive -- photos 4. Dropbox -- nope 5. Chaotic mess -- too fragmented at the mo 6. Other -- Skiff soon, experimenting w/ storj Checking out Backblaze and Duplicati for backups
I’m a 1 and 4 mainly with a touch of the rest mixed in cos phones.
Everything excel related I do on Google docs / sheets / slides, so i can access it on my phone / desktop / laptop.
1 & 5 for me, 3 but mostly for things that happen to already be there.
Recently went to a combo of: NAS w/ drive rsync (basically private cloud drive that syncs local HD with NAS backup) iCloud for things that need to be on more accessible cloud
A mix of Local HD, NAS, backed up on GDrive, all mixed up with Chaotic mess that I'm always planning to fix! 😆
Local hard drive as copy one. Google drive for back up of files. iCloud for photos. External hard drive for backup two!
iCloud has been the most seamless for me. 3rd parties on my iPhone/Mac always seem to slow it down like crazy. iCloud with photos/storage is perfect. Best $4.99 I spend a month.
Mostly 1 plus some 2 and 3, plus 6: NAS (music and movie library via Plex), GitHub, Google Photos. So basically 5.
