Cloud Based Storage / Back up (mac)

[dillbi95]

Ive been looking for the best cloud storage / back up solution for my mac.
Used Dropbox in the past along with Google Drive, but i felt like they were more for file sharing rather than backing data up.

What does anyone use? Mac integration preferred.

Was going for Backblaze, but i've read a few bad reviews, especially people in the UK as it is an american based company.

cheers

Mac boxes are ok but a bit flimsy whenever I drop one. Better when they have monopoly stickers on them though. Coffee looked a bit cloudy in the perculator it was stored in TBH.

Cheers; )

Hilarious ;-)

Surely iCloud makes sense being on Mac? Their pricing is no more expensive than Google or Amazons offers.

Why cloud? Time machine and a decent external drive?

Don't trust the cloud, me.

I use Backblaze and B2. B2 is best for archiving and Backblaze for backing up. B2 is also a Backblaze company.

Depends on how much data you need, I use mega.nz 50gig on the free account. Don't forget your password though there's no recovery.

Use an external drive preferably an add external unless your willing to pay for storage

I have a 3TB Time capsule and use Time machine to back up my three macs several times a day, I back iPhone and iPads to the Macs so they are also backed up to the Time capsule. Works a treat, silent running and instant access if required.

How do you find backblaze? and are you UK based?

Yeah did look at them, just thought it was odd that they discontinued the range a couple of months back. Do you use it for your router too?

I link the router direct to the Time Capsule, then link two of the macs via ethernet to the Time Capsule, my MacBook backs up via the wireless. All could back up wirelessly if needed, I did test the Time Capsule as a router but it was identical to my BT router in performance
