What's the best alternative to Google Drive?

[-] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

Nextcloud to self host.

pCloud for a service.

[-] Nutteman@lemmy.world 61 points 1 day ago

I keep a 1tb usb drive in my ass at all times

[-] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

Not all of us have room for multiple 1tb drives.

That's why you settle for a single 8 TB 3.5 inch disc. It just has a better value.

[-] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

3.5 inch drive might fit better, but what about micro sd cards though. Are we up to super high capacity on those yet, my ass might appreciate it better.

The trick is to only pull the cable out while making a backup. This way you don't have to stretch and relax as often.

Do you keep the cord hanging out or do you go fishing every time you need a file?

[-] Nutteman@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I have one with a flared base

[-] furbuck@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

Like a fucking professional. Props.

[-] Twig@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

Just need affordable storage

[-] M137@lemmy.today 10 points 1 day ago

The best that I'm aware of that's almost exactly the same and not the different (but better options already said): mega.io

[-] Twig@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

This looks like a good alternative. If only there was an automated way to move everything from gdrive to here. Still, might be worth the manual downloading and uploading elsewhere. Thanks

[-] Demdaru@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

One up for that. Espexially that the service was built out of pettyness lol.

Home NAS

Do you want best or easiest? Could get Proton drive if you want something cloud based.

[-] Twig@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

I guess cloud based until I can find reasonably priced home storage.

[-] nil@piefed.ca 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Proton Drive if you can't host a server for some reason

[-] fracture@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago

i haven't used it at the same scale as gdrive, but you could check out proton. the subscription isn't too bad and you can roll in VPN also

[-] djdarren@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago

I have Nextcloud running on my home server, hooked up to a 2tb drive. It's kind of a pain the ass to have to maintain, but less of a pain in the ass than relying on Google.

There are public Nextcloud Instances.

[-] djdarren@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago

True. But I got to a point where I was comfortable having a go at it myself, so saved myself some money by using a hard drive I already had available.

Nextcloud Instances.
