Cloud data storage

If you are tired of running between work and home with a flash drive, carrying a laptop with the right files all the time, and you want your important files to be available to you or your team on any computer or mobile device, cloud storage can help you.


Tip! Keep track of stocks and offers from cloud storage services. You can often get extra space for free because you have taken a survey or made a repost.

What is cloud data storage?
It's all very simple: there is some kind of organization that distributes free space to everyone on their servers (free of charge, chargeable or shareware).
You can put your files there and access them from anywhere. The online storage model, in which data is stored on numerous servers distributed over the network, provided for the use of customers, mainly by third parties.
Unlike the data storage model on its own dedicated servers, purchased or rented specifically for such purposes, the number or any internal structure of the servers to the client, in general, is not visible. Data is stored and processed in the so-called cloud, which is, from the point of view of the client, one large virtual server. Physically, such servers can be located remotely from each other geographically, up to location on different continents.

Today, many users have already appreciated the numerous benefits of cloud storage, because such storage allows, firstly, to store a large amount of information securely, and, secondly, to have access to stored information from anywhere. Which cloud storage is especially popular today will be discussed further.
Cloud data storage is an online data storage model in which all data is distributed across a network of servers physically located in very different geographic locations. The client’s cloud storage is presented as a single large virtual server.

Cloud data storage has gained great popularity among both ordinary users and corporate users. Access to data stored in the "clouds" can be carried out through a web interface, and through desktop PCs, and through mobile devices.

To date, the choice of users has a lot of cloud storage, but for those who first come across this model of online storage, it can be difficult to understand the differences between such storage. To understand which cloud storage should be chosen, it will be useful to compare several storages with each other.

Encrypted file hosting from Canada with 5 GB for free, SYNC.COM Sync was founded in 2011 by Thomas Savundra, Suhan Chan and Darius Antia, the same team that founded Netfirms (the world leader in web hosting). They wanted to create an easy way to store and share files on the Internet, without providing third-party service providers with access to their data. The key to the success of Sync.com is a zero-disclosure architecture, which according to the developers does not allow anyone except you to decrypt the stored content. On top of that, Sync.com is Canada, where there are pretty good privacy laws (but Canada is part of the Five Eye alliance to spy on users).

One of the most popular file storage services. MediaFire offers from 10 to 50 GB of space for free. You can earn additional space by connecting social accounts, inviting other users via a referral link and other actions (more). But this does not allow one to turn a blind eye to other restrictions, among which is the impossibility of turning off ad units and the limit on the size of the downloaded file - 200 MB. There are other specific limitations associated with archiving and file storage time.
The loader interface is equally informative and easy to use in desktop and online versions. Moreover, the latter option also provides for downloading files via a direct link from another server, bypassing the user's computer. For documents, multimedia data preview is possible, access to data is easy to provide by reference.
A paid subscription starts at $ 4.99 (at the moment a 50% discount applies to the tariff). For this money, the user gets 100 GB of disk space and the ability to download files up to 10 GB. Most importantly, the business and Pro-account provides enhanced security reporting and additional backup of stored data.

Inside the account Mega meets minimalistic, convenient and fast web interface. It provides for downloading folders and dragging, basic file operations. However, the file preview is missing but there is a desktop application for synchronization, and it is very flexible; folders from other accounts.
And there is also a mobile synchronization application. It is also inconvenient that Mega does not have a desktop synchronization application, so you have to upload files through the browser in single-threaded mode, tracking the process in the file transfer panel.

5 GB of free disk space is allocated, with a maximum file size of only 100 MB, and the transfer rate is limited to 200 KB / s. It is important to note that account backup and encryption are available only in a paid subscription. In the case of a single-user account, 250 GB of space will cost $ 60 / year.
The control panel is not fast. Files can be dragged, but in the case of folders there is a hitch, batch downloading is questionable. The desktop application compensates for the clumsiness of the online version, integrating with the file system. Synchronization and backup commands, access rights management, server settings are available.

Google’s services are difficult to consider autonomously from each other: they practically exist in a huge “cloud”. "Disk" saw the light of relatively recently - in April 2012, before the Google Docs service to some extent anticipated its functions.
The Google Drive allocates 15 GB during registration — a generous offer, but this space is common for storing files, emails, and photos. Expansion of a disk to 100 GB costs $ 4.99 / month, 200 GB - $ 9.99 / month. There are no specific limits for uploading files on Google Drive, although there are restrictions for storing documents, Gmail and other cloud services.
File management is carried out through a web interface, there is also a desktop application. Until recently, there were no options for selective synchronization, which forced to download all the files, now there is such an opportunity.
Through the browser, you can search and sort, preview more than 30 formats, several display modes. Available selective downloading of certain types of files in the form of an archive. Intuitively distributing access rights and publishing files is easier than ever to share data and share it with other users who are registered with Google or not.
Of the additional functions of the Disk, it is worth noting the ability to connect third-party applications, which expands the list of file operations: for example, transfer to other services, format conversion.
The strength of the "Disc" - document management. Previewing multiple file formats, convenient access settings for other users, and, finally, the ability to edit documents — often all this adds up to a major factor when choosing a cloud-based file storage.

4shared is one of the largest file servers with the ability to search by category and publish data for general use.
Providing access to files (or sharing, publication) here is a key feature, the context of the review, however, insignificant. First of all, 4shared is pleased with the loyalty of the restrictions in the free tariff: 15 GB of disk space, the size of a single file is up to 2048 MB, 100 GB of traffic per month.

The Premium tariff includes 100 GB of space and similar limits on file size, support for download managers, resumption of interrupted downloads, viewing and packaging of archives on the server, (S) FTP protocol work, file recovery (even if they were deleted from Baskets). Although many useful options are present in a free subscription, such as multi-threading, preview, program support.
In the desktop application, you can specify the folder for synchronization, adjust the file properties, the behavior when downloading and downloading. Responsive web interface allows you to perform basic file operations, search, sort data and change display modes.

Suppose, in comparison with other cloud storage, iDrive and not impressive free rates. However, this service specializes purely on backup capabilities. Accordingly, the user who has glanced on the service page realizes what he pays for and does not overpay, and realizes that the free subscription will not provide a small amount of functionality (see the comparison table).
Among the specialized functions implemented in the desktop application, you can note the backup of open and locked files, support for external and USB-carriers, remote backup management, quick backup and restore functions (IDrive Express function). Through the web interface, it is possible to remotely manage the data of the synchronized computer and view reports on copying. Extended reporting includes information on activity, backup status and access.
When transferring and storing files, 256-bit AES encryption with a user key is used.

Box provides 10 GB of data storage and 10 GB of monthly traffic for free, and the maximum file size should not exceed 250 MB. 100 GB will cost € 4 / month, for € 15 you can actually forget about the limits, getting 1000 GB of space and file size up to 5 GB. Starting with the Starter plan, the subscriber gains access to the functions of setting up access and protecting files.
The interface allows you to upload and download files, and besides the usual download, batch transfer of folders is provided. The web interface allows you to sort, search for files, use a preview - it is, however, not very convenient and responsive.
For Windows 8 in the Store, you can download a proprietary application. Through it, the same file operations, data access settings, search, plus the interface functions of the latest OS are used. By the way, in Box it is possible to connect add-ons and protocols: for example, Box FTP Server - to work with FTP, or WebDAV Client. Thus, it is possible to refuse to use the desktop client in favor of a more universal option.
To ensure security, Box uses two-level authorization; 256-bit AES encryption is used for downloaded files. However, auditing and other functions directly related to security are not available in the free edition.

When registering to Dropbox, 2 GB of free space is provided. Quite a bit for reserving important information, but you need to take into account the referral system, due to which 500 MB are added for each given user or task. As a result, the storage space is increased to 16 GB. However, you can not chase for free features and purchase 100 GB for a minimum of $ 8.25 / month.
Files can be uploaded via the web interface: via a button or by dragging. Downloading the selected data is made in a zip-archive, as well as on many other services. A preview of media files and documents is available - one of the most successful implementations on cloud services, allowing you to use Dropbox as a photo hosting site, etc. This also has sound file management.
One of the most important features of the service is a convenient work with a history of file changes. In addition, it will not be a problem to restore a deleted file or directory. It is easy to notice here the lack of a basket.
After installing the program, the user gets at his disposal a folder synchronized with the server. If desired, you can enable synchronization over the local network. Integration with Explorer and link publishing functions on the Internet via the context menu are also available. The desktop application contains among the options of selective synchronization, controlling the speed of downloading and uploading to the Dropbox server.

It must be borne in mind that third-party integration solutions are being connected to the account - given the popularity of the service, a lot has accumulated.

SpiderOak focuses not only on a full-featured backup, but also accessibility from various devices and minimal tariff limits. External, network, removable drives are supported, files are stored in the cloud without restrictions on the size, type, number of devices attached to the server.
Free 2 GB of storage space is available, an additional 100 GB will cost $ 10 / month - which is significantly more expensive compared to SkyDrive. For registration on the referral link and answers to tests on the blog SpiderOak rely bonuses, so you can free of charge to “increase” another 10 GB.
To enter the account on the server, you must complete the installation using the desktop application. This is an inconvenience, but not a formality: for security reasons, cryptographic keys are generated at this stage. Generally speaking, SpiderOak uses a layered approach to encryption, in a combination of 2048-bit RSA and 256-bit AES, as well as two-step authentication.
The web-interface did not prove to be the best - an access error occurred constantly or the ability to manage data was missing. The desktop application SpiderOak does its job much better. The widget displays the status of the backup, synchronization, publication, connection quality. In the neighboring subsections, information is available on current tasks and actions taken in the account, log and statistics. Reservations can also be made manually by defining a list of categories.
SpiderOak has an option such as deduplication, allowing you to save on disk space during backup. Also through the desktop application is controlled by file versions and folders.

Syncplicity is a cloud-based solution for collaboration and convenient access to data from mobile and desktop platforms.
2 GB of free space can not be considered the best option for backup. However, due to referrals you can increase it by another 3 GB. 50 GB in this plan will cost $ 15 / month. In the Business and Enterprise editions there are no restrictions on disk space, but the price is appropriate - it starts at $ 45 / month.
The desktop application allows you to quickly set up directories for synchronization using a simple file manager. There is a selective synchronization - you can include or exclude a subdirectory. For synchronized data version control is provided, so it is easy to recover lost data. It is possible to open access, but it is impossible to provide access to directories, only to the files separately. For published files, the Shared links section is intended, where you can, in particular, track the number of downloads.
The web interface is minimal and fast. In addition to viewing the data on the server, I was pleased with the convenient editing mode, uploading files, and previewing images. In account settings, subscriptions, devices, connected services are available.
Data transmitted or stored on Syncplicity is encrypted using AES 256bit technology, and encryption is also used during authorization.

For photos, video and music preview available in the browser version of MiMedia. The cloud drive is marked “M” (which, however, does not correspond to the real disk in the OS). Files can be downloaded via java-applet, which supports both individual and batch transfer. The data structure is not taken into account, although, if we talk about backup through the desktop widget, the data is distributed among the respective disks and directories on the server. You can provide access to files through a special link to a file sent by email or published on social networks. File history is not available, and it is extremely necessary when recovering information.
MiMedia application allows you to configure automatic backup using the wizard. In addition, thanks to the available options, you can change the distribution of traffic when uploading files to the server.
All MiMedia cloud files are stored on disparate servers in a RAID array, from which you can judge the reliable storage system.

3 GB of disk space is provided free of charge; the size of the downloaded file should not exceed 150 megabytes. By inviting other users to CloudMe, you can add another 16 GB (500 for each registration). The cost of 100 GB is € 9.90 / month.
The web interface may seem too simple, but the functionality does not suffer from this. In the presence of setting access to files: you can provide permissions to upload files to a folder for collaboration. In addition, it is possible to set password protection, make the folder private. Available batch operations, also when downloading from the server files can be packaged in a zip-archive. You can restore old versions of files or files deleted by mistake through the recycle bin.
For each folder, synchronization and device are selectively configured. In the desktop application, in addition to similar options, for each folder you can set the synchronization mode (upload, download and two-way) and the method of its implementation (automatic and on schedule).
Thanks to the drag and drop, it is very convenient to manage data. But there was such a flaw as the lack of control over the load; it cannot be canceled or paused.

Inbox Storage, a product of Xacti Group Companies, is not part of the email service www.inbox.com - that is, there is no integration with mail. At first glance, Inbox Storage has remote similarity with Dropbox due to a recognizable simple interface. One could add that the “service is Russified”, but the quality of translation (presumably machine) leaves much to be desired.
Free inbox storage provides 2 GB of space. At the expense of invitations, you can increase it to 7.5 GB, and for $ 16.95 / month - get at your disposal 100 GB. It is worth noting that the safety of data in the free plan is not guaranteed, although the developers and make for this effort (according to help).
To add files to the cloud there is a very simple downloader that works in single-threaded mode. Multimedia functions, at least image viewing, are not available (although the initially present Photos folder suggested other thoughts). In addition, there is no sorting, no search, no display modes, so managing files as space is filled up will cause significant difficulties. Notable features include version control, for viewing of which there is a separate browser, as well as sharing options: a user can set password protection, share or add resources from other sources to the list.
The desktop application does the job much better than the online version. First of all, it implements drag and drop, file search.

File management is available in the MyDrive account section. There are two ways to download - individual or batch. Batch mode takes into account the directory structure and is optimal for working with multiple files: no need to switch from one folder to another. In addition to searching and sorting, there are settings for displaying the file manager. True, the impression spoils the outdated interface, occasionally errors arise in it: there is no media preview, photos are not loaded, and so on.
But the main disadvantage of this service is the lack of a desktop application. Therefore, we can immediately say that FlipDrive is significantly inferior to its competitors both in terms of convenience and functionality.

First of all, WebStorage can be viewed as a service for mobile devices, combining all the files in the cloud. Of the clear advantages available to Asus owners is a 30% discount on services. Regardless, WebStorage gives 5 GB of free disk space. The limits are quite noticeable - 500 MB per download and maximum file size. Even acquiring 500 GB of space ($ 89.49 per year) will have to be limited to 2 GB of the limit for the size of a single file.
Through the Asus WebStorage web interface, you can get statistics on disk space usage and logins. In the home directory of the cloud, MySyncFolder, file operations are available, including data wrapping. For backups there is a separate section called “Archived Data”.
A preview of the data is available, including documents, music and video. However, this ergonomic function is very far behind, say, Dropbox. Also not happy about the lack of file display modes. On the other hand, data can be organized in a collection, add to favorites, share for them. But in order to protect the file with a password, you need to perform a sequence of actions, in the case of constant access to the menu, it comes down to a routine.
In general, the localization of the service is performed poorly, there are sections in a “parsed” state. The functional panel of Asus WebStorage, in the localized version, also does not look perfect: unreadable fonts, icons in total create a negative impression. If you do not pay attention to the shell, the program allows you to select disk partitions for copying, specify exceptions and track the status of operations, you can configure on a schedule.

Through the browser it is allowed to perform operations with files and folders, upload and download data (drag and drop is not supported). There is an informative status bar that allows you to track the download process. Alternatively, you can use a desktop application for Windows and Mac OS platforms.
There are no publishing functions - thus, the link to the file cannot be shared outside the service. Speaking about backups, it can be argued that Amazon Cloud Drive in most cases will not be an acceptable cloud solution at all: its functions are aimed at integrating with Amazon devices and the needs of customers in the online store.

In connection with the web interface, there are mixed impressions.

Most of the options are paid - for example, password file protection costs $ 4. Also, in the Sign section, you can attach a signature to an Adobe PDF, Microsoft Office, or RTF document (there are restrictions for a free subscription).
Otherwise, Hightail provides standard tools: viewing activity, loading and managing data, providing access. Multimedia preview is possible, not very fast.

About security!
1. Remember that cloud storage is not your computer. It belongs to some organization and can be "turned off" at a certain moment. You should not store only your important files there, you can lose them.

2. In the cloud it is not necessary to store your personal information. For example, your photo in the shower, passwords to mail, credit card number with PIN-code, etc. There are certain chances that they will be publicly available in some time. All your information that may harm you (now or in the future) should not just be in the cloud data storage (however, this also applies to the Internet as a whole).

Archive of inactive clouds
There will be stored inactive clouds as a memory of them :)

Copy is positioned as a business collaboration solution, with an emphasis on security, reliable storage of files on the supplier’s own server, use in small companies. At the same time, the rates for a corporate subscription are slightly lower here than in Dropbox and Box.
As for standard requirements, at registration 15 GB is provided free of charge, for $ 9.99 you can buy 250 GB. Each user brought to the service, installation of mobile or desktop applications are bonuses for which additional space is given for files.
At the moment the service exists in two versions, one of them is different updated interface. In general, the web version supports drag and drop and batch loading of data. Thanks to integration with Mover, you can transfer files from Box, Google Drive, Dropbox and other services to Copy.
The developers took care of the desktop application, through it you can configure the folder for synchronization, control access rights, transfer speed. Working with files through this application is also more convenient because the online version does not allow you to track the download process.
To ensure security, SSL, RSA public key, and AES 256 data encryption on the server are used.

Wuala - secure cloud storage with backup, synchronization, collaboration, access rights distribution and other standard features.
The free plan includes 5 GB of disk space. At the expense of referrals, you can increase the space by 10 GB, 1 GB for each attracted user. An additional 100 GB will cost € 9.99 / month, possibly expanding to 1 TB.
Despite the presence of a Web Access section on the Wuala site, there is no shell as such. Therefore, like SpiderOak, you have to use a desktop application. The blessing that it pleases with quite good functionality.
The application allows you to create backup copies, synchronize on various devices, thanks to the backup and synchronization wizard, respectively. Also, Wuala allows you to recover deleted files or their versions, open access to files, invite users and manage groups. The appearance and alerts of the widget are configured in detail, there is a selective integration with the file system.
Wuala desktop application
On the user's computer files are stored in encrypted form. When transferring data to the Wuala server, AES-256 encryption is used, RSA 2048 for signatures and keys, and SHA-256 for integrity checking.

Symform web interface
Symform is focused on small and medium businesses. The service will be interesting if you need more space than cloud storage offers for free. Starting 10 GB are issued for free, each subsequent gigabyte will cost $ 0.15 / month. There are also other conditions for the provision of space, you can read them here.
The main feature of the Symform cloud storage is information storage reliability. Data is encrypted using the AES-256 algorithm with a unique key for each folder, before and after uploading to the server. RAID 96 backup information is also used.
It can be said that the web interface is not focused on data management, but rather on activity analysis. On the main account page, you can track the synchronization status, user activity, access from the device. The file manager is, in fact, absent, although it is allowed to look through the data, delete directories.
File management is done through the desktop application. Through the initial setup wizard, according to the “set and forget” principle, you can set up folders for synchronization, schedule, limit the speed depending on the channel width.

Surdoc provides 100 GB for free, in addition to offering a choice of data center for storing files. Other interesting bonuses are available: 10 GB is added for each given user. However, despite the temptation of the Free tariff, it makes sense to compare with paid tariffs, which are less limited.
In this case, similar to [email protected], the web interface suffered. Navigating through directories is not intuitive, a slow reaction to user actions, a lot of operations, obviously, could be optimized. Continuing research, it is easy to detect functional spaces on the main part: you can not manage file versions, provide access, view photos.
Surdoc desktop application Increase
Step-by-step configuration of the desktop application can be skipped by going to the options. Through them, you can configure a backup, if necessary, specify the filter - file exceptions by mask, download and download speeds. But, as it turned out, the scheduler is not here, so you have to manually start copying.

As part of the tariff Personal, Norton Zone provides free 5 GB of disk space. It is noteworthy that the free subscription also includes version control, anti-virus protection, two-factor authentication. Additional space for a personal rate will cost $ 11.99 / month. For teamwork (5 or more users) a business plan is available at a cost of $ 75 / month.
The online version of the service is well thought out in terms of managing such file types as photos, documents, images and videos. In addition to the preview of these formats, a filter in the form of a sliding panel is available. Complement the file management search, sort and display modes.
Going to the file settings, you can view the available versions, leave a comment, provide access to other users via a link or in the cloud, with the ability to limit the number of downloads.
One of the strengths of the Norton Zone is activity analysis (Activity section). It will not be difficult to obtain information about any actions with files. The only thing that for more convenience here was you are comfortable with a calendar or a similar widget for selecting a specific period.
The main function of the service application is synchronization and corresponding notifications. Notable program that allows you to specify multiple accounts to work with the Norton Zone. Unfortunately, selective synchronization was not possible. Of the other drawbacks - the inability to disable the program through the context menu.

Understand and child, and grandparents. From above, we see how much space in the cloud is available to us, and how much we have already occupied, from here you can go to the section on increasing space. On the left is the folder tree, and in the center of our files - just like in Windows Explorer. You can work with documents using the toolbar or using the context menu that appears when you click on a file with the right mouse button.



Ozibox

The OziBox service causes associations with [email protected]. This is the same free 10 GB and the absence of any information on tariffs. It is surprising that on the pages [attachment = "4780451: image9.png"] ah there is no advertising: apparently, the developers are thinking about the method of monetization. With all the uncertainty, mistrust arises: how reliable is the storage of data on the service, where there are no quotations, no other specifics, not to mention such an important aspect as security.
OziBox encounters a rather outdated interface, with intermittent errors, no preview, a not very convenient download window (when downloading folders the same problem as on Yandex Disk). Although some minimal means to provide data access are available. As a result, file management is possible here, but very difficult, but there is no need to talk about normal backup tools.
The desktop widget doesn’t save the situation much, providing options for synchronizing the home directory and setting the transfer speed.

The description of Bitcasa lists key features that can be summarized in paragraph: information integrity, access from various devices, no limits, and autoreservation.
Opportunities to increase storage for free are fairly standard: 1 GB for invitations (15 GB in total), as well as small bonuses for performing certain actions after registering an account.
After installing the application, Bitcasa integrates into the system by adding the corresponding items to the Explorer context menu and a new file volume called Bitcasa Infinite Drive. Working with data on a cloud disk is no different from local one. In the settings of the desktop widget, you can define caching settings, view statistics.
In the terminology of the service, the concept of mirroring is used - in other words, synchronization, the creation of a “mirror” with subsequent access from various devices. In the case of the cloud, ubiquitous access also implies convenient viewing of multimedia data, providing access, etc.
Downloading files through the browser occurs in the background, which is doubly convenient: it does not distract and allows you to simultaneously perform other actions within the service. In addition to providing access, file publishing is available (email, Facebook or Twitter), as well as link management (the Send Links section). In the presence of version control. The required file can be found by specifying a date in the calendar.

Hello everyone, I have already searched the entire Internet and have not found the right one ...

What I need:
1. Storage capacity at least 1 GB
2. The ability to somehow take a direct link to implement the download from the program.
3. Unlimited download traffic (if not understood, see below Dropbox)
4. It should not be a random stupid file sharing service.

What I tried:

Dropbox: Traffic 20 GB per day, this means that a file of 320 MB can be downloaded only 62 times, and then the Dropbox account is blocked ... And I don’t need a traffic limit.
Cubby: He hasn't given direct links a long time ago.
Google Drive: You can get a direct link, but when the file is large, Google Drive cannot check it with an antivirus and because of this, the direct link does not work, but requires confirmation (confirm = no_antivirus does not work already)
Copy.com: Glitchy, stops giving files, don `t know why.

Yandex.Disk: Do not pull out a direct link.
Mail.Ru Cloud: Do not pull out a direct link.

I beg you to help, I just can’t, the project is on fire, I don’t know what to do :(

I have been using Microsoft OneDrive (SkyDrive) for a long time. I also use the Yandex disk, and now I upload files to Cloud.Mail.Ru - I have 1 TB there. It would be nice to be able to pour in and watch movies and music from them. Mail.ru can be uploaded, but there seems to be no viewing - only downloading, OneDrive only supports mp4, and I also need avi and mkv, Yandex will have to try. And to increase the volume, you can register the required number of accounts. Also in OneDrive, you can share folders for the main account on additional accounts by specifying the addresses of the recipients. And they made it possible to upload files up to 10 GB.
I also read that portable versions of software can be copied to cloud storage and supposedly they work. I'll have to try.

I may not understand something, but for me personally the meaning of all cloud storages disappeared with the release of BTSync -http://www.bittorrent.com/intl/ru/sync/download
You can call this home backup on your PC or laptop. Here all the data is synchronized with the PC data, it makes no sense to go somewhere, just threw the picture into the "photo" folder and it is already in the tablet / phone. Also with any other file.
If there is not enough space, then it still makes sense ...
Even my Wexler7100 (which has already broken) coped with this task with a bang, and even normal tablets will fly at all.

And when I really wanted to "volume", I connected to my home PC (I brought the Lan port of my connection to my home PC to the Internet, I plugged in with the plugin from the Total Commander via DirectIP). Of the minuses - you need a good Internet to watch movies 6+ GB in RealTime. And it makes no sense to duplicate data =)

I also forgot to add, this program has all the advantages of a torrent, only the connection is somehow more stable. And there is such a thing as "keys", you can call it magnet link, which can be created directly from the tablet, there are 2 types of "read only" and "reading + editing."

Of the minuses, I found only one - 3G Internet is too slow, and on WiFi everything works very fast, the speed was up to 16 Mbps, this was the limit of my broken tablet =)

Yes, I know something else, but it just comes down to the speed of the Internet, let it be at least cloudy, even plain FTP ...
And for this I think that access to "non-licensed" and personal information is better to keep on your PC.

a) The hard disk is an unreliable device, that's why there are storages, here we are talking about a reliable backup, in addition to everything.
b) Your computer is at home. And if you need access to your files when you are at work? Away? Business trip?

There are several questions about cloud storage. Suppose I have 3 devices and I want to synchronize data between them.
At the same time, part of the data must be synchronized between all three, part between pairs, and part between 1 device and the cloud (just an archive copy).
Question 1: Is it possible to set up synchronization like that?
Question 2: if data is deleted from a folder that is synchronized between all devices, will they be automatically deleted on all devices connected to the Internet?
And if they are deleted erroneously (or as a result of a virus attack), then it turns out that they will disappear completely?
Question 3: Is it possible to ensure that data is automatically packed when copying to the cloud (saving traffic and volume),
and when copying from the cloud automatically unpacked?

The company SurDoc, located somewhere in the open spaces of California, at times raised this bar. Anyone can get 100GB free space for their needs. With one reservation: free cheese is available only for a year. After 365 days, you will need to refill your account with $ 30 / year so that your data will continue to be stored in the depths of the cloud.http://www.infocity.az/?p=10292

I saw several on my own
services with a sightwhat to put on Android . Let me state here - and who knows, suddenly you can publish.

On the basis of fame, popularity and running-in of android clients putCloud mail (s) ru , YandexBarDisk , Drop the Box and Google driver .
Heavenly Way I did not get into the review, because I had a dream that my Windows suddenly became Vareznaya, Billy found out about it - he began to blackmail me with pictures of my naked pistrone. I try not to be superstitious, but I was still afraid to put it.

Observations are conducted from the standpoint of the average user, the functionality is taken from the box, without crutches and claws (as always on the Bucket) made by third-party applications.

Compare by:
1. Web client. Everyone is fine, but the mailbox when downloading scattered files to the root.
2. PC client (syncro). The cloud can “index” according to its debt, hiding synchronization, Google’s disk has difficulty selecting a folder, Yandex is very powerful in the system and the transition from the shortcut to the folder is very thoughtful. Only dropbox has everything ok.
3. Save to phone. It would seem, why the cloud, which can not be downloaded? Dropbox and Google will tell you why, while competitors enjoy +2 points for the ability to normally download folders.
4. Office documents all services open using SpreadSheet
5. Text files are opened by third-party programs, and only dropbox gets + for the built-in editor.
6. With an online player, everything is so snooly.
7. Videos open everything, mail.ru - a third-party player. Maybe even a feature, a matter of taste.
8. Image viewers work everywhere perfectly, dropbox and google get by + for showing the video preview without looking up from the photo, as in the phone gallery. Yandex also tried to show a preview, but it was extremely unfortunate.
9. Auto upload of photos for everyone works fine, but Google has a separate “photo” built-in application, downloading not to the disk itself, but to Google +. Because After that, the files will not be synchronized to the hard disk, where they can be easily and conveniently processed in the OS, this is still a minus (or minus - the inconvenience of Google Photos).
10. Volume. Without anal games with the developers, Drop is the smallest, probably not enough for many. Google and Yandex have nothing at all, +1. The mail ... well, it is not clear why so much, but its main chip can not be estimated less than +2.
11. In addition ... the mail does not add an account (neutr. Feature) until you remove the hell in the settings about every change on the disk, and most importantly - there is no basket in it, for which it is -0.5.

Total:
Dropbox is a good notebook with synchronization, you can order to collect a fresh photo.
On the gmail, you can make albums with photo-video together and show from wifi.
On Yandex, you can do a lot, incl. keep folders with fresh music and load as needed
Mail ru is also useful for these purposes, but it can spill the folder when it is downloaded (with a large number of files it is unpleasant) or accidentally permanently delete something. Enough volume to fill the movies and watch them on wifi.

Thanks for attention
