Where do you store your data online?
« on: October 06, 2023, 03:09:32 AM »
I have been storing in icloud and am charged £2.49 a month ......
I could store on One drive, but what do you use, and why?

I have so few files stored on-line that I cannot justify spending anything for that task. My wife does have OneDrive access because it is connected to her use of a couple of M$ apps. Whatever it costs, she is worth it! :Thinking: :thumbup: :notworthy:

So I could use One Drive as well - it's open to me, so my question is which really about security, between icloud and One Drive which is securer?

I store my data on external hard drives. Being (perhaps justifiably) paranoid, I refuse to store anything off-site.

I agree with Jon. I have many externals that I use for backups. I do use iCloud for a few things that I manually upload just in case the worst happens and I lose everything locally.
