Im storing “private content” and i only need 17 gb more but i already have a mega account thats full. I dont want to use google drive as it easily fills up with storage and i already have files in there but anything else goes.
My grandfather died recently. He had an Acer or asus PC I'm not completely sure. Obviously it had all his stuff, emails, music, various accounts for paying bills etc. as you would on a personal PC. It's an all in one type thing so there's no PC tower. I am the person who helped him with the purchase, setting up, problems ran into so I'm now taking the computer to use as my own. I would like to completely preserve all his stuff, but obviously keep it completely seperate from all mine. Also, a lot of bill paying and stuff was done through that computer. Any advice on how to do all this would be great thank you
Looking for tips and advice on storing files and photos for my small family of three.
I’m currently paying for both Apple and Google storage because I recently received an iPhone as a gift, but I don’t want to keep paying for both services long-term.
My family and I are also immigrating to a new country, so I’d really like to get more organized, especially with important documents. I currently have a document safe, but it’s full, and I’d like to reduce the amount of paper we keep by switching more of our filing to digital.
We don’t currently have our own Wi-Fi connection in our apartment, as the internet is shared for the whole building, so I don’t think a NAS setup is realistic right now. It’s also a bit out of budget.
My main goal is to create a simple, reliable system for storing family documents and photos, ideally with backup options. End-to-end encryption would be a bonus. I did buy an SSD external hard drive, but I’m curious what others are doing because I feel a bit out of my element when it comes to setting up an organized digital storage and backup system.
What has worked well for you?
Hello guys, how can I keep the desktop app logged in on Windows PC? It's frustrating to log in to my account every time I restart my PC. Anybody experiencing the same thing? App version is already up to date.
I want to purchase it, but I’m still skeptical that it’s real.
u/sulabh1992 reached out to me and claimed he have a referral link for a 48 TB lifetime storage plan on FileLu for $2,000. If it’s legitimate, could you share the referral link here? That way we can verify it with FileLu before making the purchase. If it’s genuine, everyone else could benefit from the offer as well.
Drime 70 TB
FileLu 52 TB
Internxt 50 TB
FolderFort 20 TB
FileJump 10 TB
Icedrive 10 TB
Scramble 5 TB
Filen 2 TB
FileRule 2 TB
Koofr 1 TB
OnlineDrive 6 TB
All are lifetime plans
If anyone wants to purchase FileLu Lifetime plan I can provide a referral link for it and it will be way cheaper than it is available on their website. Send me message if you are interested.
Ciao a tutti, c'è un modo per rendere Nextcloud simile a Windows 7 con le trasparenze e il logo di Windows 7 che si illuminano quando ci si clicca sopra? Non mi piace il design predefinito, preferirei quello descritto. Qualcuno di voi ha già un tema pronto? O un codice CSS da incollare? Ecc...
Un'altra domanda: qualcuno di voi ha un pacchetto completo di icone originali di Windows 7 in HD? Nell'immagine si vede come appare ora. Questo è il posto giusto per chiedere?
I'm looking for secure and encrypted storage and found Cryptee. Anyone using it or have experience with it. It's a PWA and slightly expensive.
Probably the same or very similar question has been asked dozens of times, but here I go.
Our ecosystem is:
- Wife has an iPhone, but she always used Googe account and Google Photos. I guess she probably has automatically filled the free-tier iCloud (5GB right)
- I have Android/Pixel, and I had for several years unlimited storage because buying new Pixels until I dont since 3-4 years ago.
Im not sure what is the best way to approach this. From what I see, probably the simpler option is to pay Google One on my account and family-share, I guess 200GB should be enough, so me and my wife can both save all our pictures to the cloud... But then I also believe that paying 2 different providers/accounts should be ¿safer? So my wife uploads all from her phone into either iCloud or her own Google One, and I do the same on my own
Im aware this is not a backup because if I delete the pics or if the account gets hacked, deleted, suspended... All is gone. Im working on that, but not there yet. For now, the first step is to secure current pictures and set the base for an scalabe architecture :P
I am looking for a place to upload the files and photos I have on my computer. Is there anywhere you know of and could recommend? I need to upload about 200 GB of data.
MEGA vs pCloud vs Google One vs Proton Drive vs filen.io
I'm torn between them; I'm open to other suggestions.
Hello, I am switching from an iPhone to an S26 ultra but keeping my ipad and mac. I know the photo storage wont be seamless but does anyone have any good recommendations for cloud storage apps that can be used on all three devices? Currently I have everything in an icloud drive.
I left a negative review on Trustpilot a while back after a bad experience with Internxt. Months later, out of nowhere, I got an email from Trustpilot saying Internxt had just flagged my review as "not based on a genuine experience" and asking me to send documentation within 3 days or the review goes offline.
Think about how many people get that email, do not have the time or the saved screenshots to fight it, and just let it go. That review then disappears. Multiply that by however many negative reviews get flagged this way, and you get a cleaner looking score than the actual product deserves.
For reference, Internxt currently sits at 2.8 out of 5 on Trustpilot with 1,308 reviews, and their own page states they reply to only 28 percent of negative reviews. Their score has quietly crept up too, from around 2.4 to 2.6 over the past year to 2.8 now, while the same complaints keep repeating.
I still had the screenshots and the confirmation email saved from when it happened, so I sent them in and my review should stay up. Not everyone will bother. If you left a genuine bad review and get one of these emails, do not ignore it, reply with whatever proof you have, even a screenshot of your account or the support email thread counts. Do not let them quietly clean up their score at your expense!
Hi all,
Apologies if I'm asking the same thing that's been asked before 70 times...I didn't see anything that similar, and there are some specific concerns. I'm blown away by the collective knowledge here, so I appreciate the help.
I’m a high school photo/video teacher. My students and I are constantly hitting data caps on our school-provided Google Workspace for Education account. The school has maxed out its pooled storage and due to the cost, it's not really an option to pay to upgrade to the next tier. Because we do digital video, we use a lot of data (we are only using the cloud to organize, safely archive, and retrieve finished....not footage editing other than temporary emergency storage)
I had a desktop RAID which SHOULD be a good solution, but it failed and I lost data, so I even more adamantly want a secure cloud backup. Portable drives/discs are too slow and risky, and our IT department explicitly does not want to manage a local NAS.
We'd be OK with 5-10 TB...that gives us headroom for the next couple of years at this rate.
Ideally we don't want to pay more than $50/month, but I know that can be limiting for options.
We can't really use a single, personal account. I don't mind it being managed by IT (that's probably our only real option), but it needs to have more than one login.
We're looking for this to be a shared drive...more than one person should be able to log into it.
Would be nice if it is mountable on MacOS or Windows desktops, but that's not necessarily a dealbreaker.
I'd be doing most of the uploading and organization, but students and admins would need access to view, retrieve, and possibly place files.
We can't go glacier (too slow) or something that charges for uploading/downloading.
And the fun part....we want it to be legitimate and IT-manageable but the provider needs to be highly reliable and ideally FERPA-compliant or secure enough for a school environment.
I've heard suggestions for pcloud, Backblaze B2, and iDrive. But nothing solid.
Seems that what I want is very straightforward....but I'm sure that's what all corner cases think :)
I'd appreciate any insight that doesn't include IT doing an NAS, me doing a DAS or hard drives, so if any of you know of a solution that would work here, thanks in advance!
I'm running a server and have a ton of storage, specifically 1TB for 4 Euro. Would anyone be interested or provide constructive criticism?
Gdrive is 2,99€ per month. Are there any cheaper, well known good alternatives?
Hey folks, the TorBox V9 update just dropped. This update introduces a new "Airlock" feature. The Airlock feature allows you permanently keep a download locked into the TB cache, effectively disabling the 30d expiration timer.
>Airlock is permanent storage for your TorBox account. Simply mark files to be added to Airlock and it'll keep them away from the TorBox 30 day retention policy!
>
>Files in your Airlock will never be removed from TorBox due to inactivity, unlike normal files which are deleted 30 days after the last download. This allows you to keep files around that you suspect may be deleted, or files that you may want to keep for yourself.
Torbox is a user-friendly, high-speed cloud torrenting and download service that acts like a hands-off seedbox or debrid platform. It lets you add magnet links or torrent files, which it downloads and seeds on its fast private servers, so you can grab the files at full speed over HTTPS without exposing your own connection or running any client software.
With the addition of Airlock, TorBox is now not only the go-to debrid service; but also the ultimate cloud storage utility! No more paying for cloud storage on separate services. It's all skillfully packed inside a debrid service, with generous Airlock storage rates for all paid plans:
Pro: 1TB
Standard 500GB
Essential: 300GB
Free: 0GB
Now would be a great time to sign up for the service if you haven't already, especially considering the great deal it is, now being a debrid service and a cloud storage solution.
Or apply the code: 3cf24d85-5703-43fe-9f81-4eb317731087 manually to the bottom of the Subscription page
Signing up using this link gives you a bonus of 7 days for each month purchased on your first purchase (1 month + 7 days, 3 months + 21 days, 6 months + 42 days, 12 months +84 days). Additionally, for an extra 30% off your first year, you can use the code SIGMA30 (first purchase only).
| Aspect | TorBox AirLock (Paid Plans) | Typical Cloud Storage (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive) |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Bundled in TorBox subscription ($3–$10+/mo) | Standalone storage plans, e.g.: • Google One: ~$10/mo for 2TB • OneDrive: ~$7/mo for 1TB |
| AirLock Storage Limits | • Essential: 300GB permanent • Standard: 500GB permanent • Pro: 1TB permanent | Fixed by plan (e.g., 100GB-several TB). Persistent unless deleted. |
| Key Benefits | • Permanent retention for locked files • Lightning-fast downloads at full internet speed (global CDN) - you can generate shareable links that friends can use with no sign-up to download at their maximum speeds • Strong privacy (no logs, no tracking) • Integrated torrent/usenet/hoster debrid + web player, API, RSS | • Broad sync, sharing & collaboration tools • Strong ecosystem integrations • Version history & easy backups |
| Privacy & Security | Excellent for privacy-conscious users (especially torrent/media). No scanning/logs. | Varies; major providers often scan files and comply with legal requests. |
| Best For | Large media libraries, torrents, long-term private archives with fast access & easy sharing. | Everyday files, team collaboration, general backups. |
| Limitations | Requires paid TorBox plan for AirLock use. Less focused on real-time sync/editing. | Can be slower for massive files; potential content restrictions; sync overhead. |
| Workaround for Free Users | Upload files to a free tier of a separate file host (e.g. Gofile, Buzzheavier), then use TorBox to "leech"/download them and lock into AirLock (on a paid plan). | N/A (native free tiers available but limited). |
TorBox AirLock is ideal if you want fast, private, permanent hosting for downloaded content (especially torrents), but it requires a paid plan (Essential and above). The leech-from-another-cloud workaround is a smart way to bring up larger permanent libraries even if starting from limited free storage elsewhere.

Looking for robust solution that can help us monitor (tagging) and actually cut our ai tokens and server costs. Nothing bad with cloudzero just want to explore other solutions and pricing structure.
