r/cloudstorage

As you can see, the prices are roof top for drives. MY PHOTOS and documents are getting full on my phone and my laptop's storage is just 512. Now i dont know what to do lol. I dont know if i should just cloud ( google ) or any other and keep on paying each month or idk man.

Snapchat sucks and doesn’t let you store more than 10 seconds

Any other good vaults that I can delete from camera roll and just look up when needed?

Good thing is snap is only £2.50 for 2 months

Can I get anything like that? Even 50gb is fine I just want some 4K videos

Hello, I'm considering moving away from Google Drive, because it's become difficult to perform even the most basic action: latency on download, any action on multiple files after search restrained, a bunch of suggestions at page load I don't care about and so on.

I've been made aware of safety/privacy issues that might concern Google Drive, well, I believe no-one on the "big ones" is immune out there, so it's not a prerequisite.

Which do you believe could be a worthy heir (of the Google Drive that was)? I currently have about 35 GB stored and I don't plan on going over 100 in the more than near future.

I have ethical issues about One Drive being owned and "tainted" by Bill Gates, other than that, I'm open to anything.

Like many of you, I got sick of paying endless monthly subscriptions for cloud storage and streaming services, only to realize we don't actually own any of it.

Most tutorials online suggest buying a Raspberry Pi 5 or grabbing an old laptop from a closet. But living on a tight budget without spare hardware, neither was an option for me

So I decided to test the limits of what’s already in my pocket. I set up a Linux environment inside Termux on my Android phone and deployed a complete private ecosystem:

Jellyfin (Port 8096): Replaced Netflix. Streams my local media with posters, metadata, and multi-device playback.

Filebrowser (Port 8080): Replaced Google Drive. Full local network file sharing without storage paywalls.

Syncthing (Port 8384): Replaced Google Photos. Automatic background backup for all photos and documents.

All three run parallel in the background without burning up the phone or crashing. If storage ever becomes a problem down the line, a simple external drive over Type-C handles it.

Made a quick proof-of-concept video showing the setup and all three tabs running smoothly,

Planning to drop a full command-by-command setup guide if there's interest. Would love to hear your thoughts or suggestions on what other lightweight services I can stack on this ARM setup!

Hey everyone,

​I’m currently using a 110 GB Koofr account on a lifetime deal I bought a while back. I’ve outgrown the capacity and need more space.

​Looking at my options right now:

• ​Direct Koofr Upgrade: Koofr offers an upgrade to 250 GB for ~€73.
• ​StackSocial Deal: There's a StackSocial promo for 1 TB lifetime at ~€116.

​StackSocial states that each person can redeem only one lifetime promo code per account. My impression was that to use the 1 TB StackSocial voucher, I would have to completely delete my current Koofr account (as starting a new one with a different email is against Koofr ToS), re-upload all my data, and abandon my existing 110 GB account.

​Is that correct, or am I missing a third option? ​Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has successfully upgraded their Koofr lifetime account through StackSocial or Koofr support!

Hey all,

Yesterday I posted here asking for beta users for harbor0. Since then 115 of you have signed up, which is a lot more than I expected. Thank you, really. Every signup, bug report and email has been useful, and a lot of you took the time to tell me what you'd need before switching.

A few things came up again and again in the comments and emails, so here's what I'm working on next:

End-to-end encryption
This has been the most requested feature by far. Encryption will be opt-in per account. Once it's on, your files are encrypted on your device before they're uploaded, and harbor0 can't read them. I'm taking my time with the design, because getting encryption wrong is worse than not having it. I'll share more about how it works, including the tradeoffs, before it ships.

Two-factor authentication
You'll be able to add a second factor to your account sign-in. This one should come fairly soon.

WebDAV and rclone support (planned)
Lots of you asked to use harbor0 with tools you already have, like file managers, NAS boxes and backup scripts. WebDAV and rclone support are both planned. It's early, so I don't have dates yet. I'll post updates as it gets closer.

The Windows, iOS and Android apps are still in development too, and getting the Mac app notarised is on the list.

Please keep telling me what's confusing or broken. Reply here or email me at contact@harbor0.com I read everything.

Thanks again for giving a small, early project a chance.
