JOTTACLOUD ALTERNATIVE UPDATE

Why not try something I already had a license and a device for then? Setting up Synology Drive 2.0 Their new Drive 2.0 was announced with support for On-Demand Syncing, and continuous backup modes.

JOTTACLOUD ALTERNATIVE UPDATE

Upload speeds are capped for anything beyond 5 TB, but for me, that isnвЂ™t really an issue.Д«efore I got started with Jottacloud, I spotted an update from Synology вЂ“ the maker of affordable NAS devices. They offer unlimited storage for 7.5 в‚¬/month (about $8.50). One of the recommended services to me was Jottacloud.

Also, their pricing model is not transparent, as anything beyond 15 GB of storage requires an Enterprise license: Google Drive cost estimation tool I use Google Photos to store a copy of my mobile phone photos (are there any other kind, anymore?), but IвЂ™m not that integrated with the Google infrastructure that I wanted to start looking at Google Drive. There are plenty of alternatives to Dropbox. I realize file sync is a hard problem to crack, but SyncThing felt so hacky and unreliable I gave up on it, too. My mobile phone would simply state that sync is not able to upload anything. I was able to set up a sync folder on my workstation, but it only provided synchronization one-way. I gave it a try - and failed to get it working in a reasonable time. Several people mentioned this in forums, with a warning that itвЂ™s tricky to set up. So, that was out of the question to replace Dropbox for me. I chose to give OneDrive for Business a new chance in 2020. IвЂ™m still a little bit bitter for a mishap some years ago, with the NGSC hassle that ended up eating plenty of my files. OneDrive for Business, which is part of Office 365, is something I have installed as well. In researching for alternatives to Dropbox I knew IвЂ™d need a few crucial features: enough storage, data stored in EU and proper mobile apps. What better problem to solve than scratching my own itch? Alternatives to Dropbox Perhaps I have a little less trust with them now, and I was looking for a problem to solve. I needed to migrate my data away from Dropbox. Perhaps IвЂ™m a little bit late to the game but better late than ever. I could encrypt everything before it hits Dropbox but I donвЂ™t see that as a working solution in the long run.ДЄdding all these together - my data (possibly) being stored in the US, and Dropbox being slightly coy in publishing this, focus on desktop apps that go beyond just storing my files, and the inability to provide my own encryption got me thinking even more. In addition, Dropbox does not support bringing my own private key to the service to encrypt data as I see fit. If I purchased 15 or more business licenses IвЂ™d get the opportunity to store my data in the EU. Does this mean that my data is stored in the US? Dropbox seems to imply this (and to be honest, perhaps theyвЂ™ve stated this but IвЂ™ve missed that) with their conformance to EU Privacy Shield. Australia and Japan also do not affect me. Thus, GermanyвЂ™s privacy laws do not help me. Additionally, storage servers are available in Germany, Australia, and Japan for some Dropbox Business users.

Storage servers are located in data centers across the United States. Where exactly is my data stored? In the cloud, yes, but where? Dropbox has a short page explaining this: I figured IвЂ™ll dig a bit around the service, and what IвЂ™m paying for.

The new Dropbox Desktop App felt needless, and I started thinking if I still wanted to use the service. Recently, Dropbox went public, and the service started changing. I ended up using only about 12 % of my Dropbox capacity IвЂ™ve had Dropbox on my mobile devices, integrated with Microsoft Azure, my Synology device and other services that needed to access my data. I simply love it itвЂ™s simple, reliable, fast and with 2 TB of storage itвЂ™s always been enough for me.

JOTTACLOUD ALTERNATIVE PLUS

IвЂ™ve used the service through the Plus plan, and IвЂ™ve also had the Unlimited (Packrat) version history for half of the time. During this time, I think IвЂ™ve paid about $1400 in subscription fees. Thanks for reading my blog!
