  • I've used up the easy Google functions on my phone 😔

    NAS

    Have you worked out your running costs? If so how do they stack up?

    I do actually have a home WD "cloud" storage device I haven't actually set up yet. Which it sounds like I should.

    I guess I just trust Google's backup systems more than mine.

    edit: using the search function while in a laptop and using the shift/select function is pretty good. Means you can search for say "serial number" and bulk delete all those random photos of serial numbers, receipts, etc. you don't need any more.

  • Microsoft 365 family is 79.99 for a year and you get 6x 1TB onedrive accounts for that. I use this for video file storage.

    Create the primary account and then 5 dummy accounts and share the onedrive folders with the primary and you have a pretty solid sync client and 6tb of storage in one place. Admittedly it's a bit annoying doing the initial 6 logins fanny around but once it's running it's been very reliable for me. I like how you can right click a folder you need keep it on your device and then just send it back to the cloud easily.

  • Hilariously I was paying for this for my OH for years so they had ms apps on their laptop, but they never logged in properly or synced it properly to use the storage. So I bought one of those dodgy full Office suites instead.

    Also I think the issue won't be the value on a £/KB basis, but that it is still £80. Eg even though 2tb < 6tb, 2tb is sufficient and in that case it'd be easier for everyone to just upgrade One.

    Is there a way to effortlessly link this up with my Google Photos?
