TotallyOz Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 If you are a total size queen when it comes to online data drop box accounts, you need to read the latest offerings from Microsoft's One Drive. I was a bit shocked when I saw my storage on my computer showing 1TB possible so I had to research. I have the 9.99 Office Package as it is worth it for me to get the updates, plus free Skype minutes plus free storage. Now, storage is drastically bigger, longer and uncut and no extra price increase. Love it! https://blog.onedrive.com/your-onedrive-just-got-bigger/ Quote
Alexx Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Then there's of course the privacy issue that might be just as important as the size of the cloud storage account. Compared to trusting Dropbox or trusting Microsoft, sending my files to my favorite ladyboy gossip queen would probably be safer. vinapu and TotallyOz 2 Quote
TotallyOz Posted July 19, 2014 Author Posted July 19, 2014 I don't disagree with you. But, I keep backups of photos, videos, ect on the cloud. If someone at MS wants to look, they can go for it. I have no highly classified information so for me, it works well. Quote

It's important to be conscious about what to store there, and to know the privacy implications, that's all I meant to say. TotallyOz 1 Quote
TotallyOz Posted July 20, 2014 Author Posted July 20, 2014 Do they have any rules which restrict the type of pictures and videos one may store? Honestly, I am not sure. I don't keep anything questionable on mine. The only thing I can think of that might be problematic is torrents. And, I would never put them in any cloud device. They are too big of files IMHO. That said, as with everything on the net, if it is illegal, do not put it online. Anywhere. EVER. And, I think that includes torrents. As for porn, I put it there all the time with no issue. But, I also have the legal right to the photos I put online. I use AEBN to download movies and I keep all of them on cloud devices. I also have porn photos I own and store there. It is never a worry for me. But, they are all legal and nothing questionable. I would be leery about torrents. Quote
