Cloud storage and external hard drive

torrevieja

Hi folks bit torn between whether to go for cloud storage or external hard drive,

With some people saying a hard drive can stop malfunctioning u should do both etc

I’m also not really sure at this stage what I might need but definitely would need 1 Tb

What’s ur opinions and recommendations on this,

Thanks

I'd consider both.

Any important data I'd back up twice.

Any particular cloud provider

There's a few free ones, don't Google give you 15gb?

Thats a lot of data.

Do you know how much you have to store?

Well my hard drives are nearly at 3/4 1 tb

Consider:
O365 subscription = 1TB One Drive + Office apps on 5 PC's
G Suite = 1TB Drive + whatever.
Dropbox = 2TB


other options potentially available....

Edit: if 5+ users on G suite - storage is unlimited!....

Thanks Smuggler, Just wondering someone said Two way Authentication was important with Clouds, Also anyone used Pcloud?

I would use two HDDs for two backup sets, and store them separately.

But then I dislike trusting my files to someone else!
