| No Carbonite? No Crash Plan? This article is not much of a "comparison", even for the services mentioned. No pricing comparison. No storage limits. No performance data. I can do better by looking at Wikipedia. |

| Online Storage... Ryan, Do you have comments on the other 'flavors' of cloud storage???? Just wondering....Thanks for what you've submitted so far...has me thinking about more than Dropbox...
Speaking of DB...I started using it because of the tie-in with transferring URL's from my smartphone to a Google Chrome browser so I could read the durn pages without squinting...Phone-to-Chrome was the app. Then I discovered how nice it was to have a way to move files from the desktop to the phone and to have the files available at any desktop I use...hmmm This is nice... Now I've used it to allow friends and co-workers to share files I've created for my jobs...
It works well for me... |

Re: No Carbonite? No Crash Plan? Agreed. This article is useless. One of the things missing from many online storage services is the ability to search within files, like pdf's. I have only found G Drive is able to do this, and I was hoping this article might point me someplace else since I really don't want to use Google since their privacy policy seems as fluid as the tide - and changes about as often. Oh well..... |

There's no storage limit on S3.
Backblaze also claims to be unlimited »help.backblaze.com/entries/20201···nlimited
But i wouldn't be surprised if somewhere in their TOS they have a clause saying that if you abuse the service, they can disable your account.

| For Online Backup... Cloud Storage differ than backup solution. For online backup I would highly recommend CrashPlan. |

Re: Online Storage... If I were you, I'd delete all my files from dropbox and close my account.
If you don't remember, Dropbox lied to their users about Dropbox's ability to read users' files. They have one of the worst security track records.

Just look at the last paragraph of their recent blog post »eranki.tumblr.com/post/270764318···x-part-1.
They are recommending that a company should evaluate what's more important: user's privacy/security VS negative PR one will get from not doing proper security.
If they are recommending it in their blog post, that means they are doing it internally. Who knows where else they cut security corners.

Re: For Online Backup... CrashPlan has good features, but they use some proprietary encryption and refuse to publish its specs to allow 3rd parties to examine its quality.
They also REQUIRE connection to their servers, even if you do local or friend-to-friend backup. So if for whatever reason their servers go down or you don't have internet access, you will never be able to recover your backups.

| This article is a disgrace. 1. Not all viable solutions are mentioned. e.g. SkyDrive.
2. A conclusion is given without much analysis or justification.
Is this what DLSReports is PAYING for?
Not worth it.

Re: For Online Backup... How are Blowfish and AES proprietary? I am not sure of any others that support any linux flavors...
...and how are you planning on backing up your data to backblaze or Amazon when you have no internet connectivity? |

| Ad for Backblaze Thats about all this is. A talk about Amazon, gushing on Backblaze and a mention of the others.... |
|
| What about Wuala? I see no mention of Wuala. It's a good service with clients for all the major platforms. |

| Comparison? Where? This was a waste of time that should have been titled "My Two Preferred Cloud Storage Options." If you want to call this a comparison, you must:
1) Provide a matrix of the different products' features, price points, and other criteria used for judging them.
2) Provide a tight, non-editorial summary of each offering, provider's claimed advantages.
2) Provide narrative that describes typical user experiences of each service, and actually *compares* them against each other in use.
As posted, this is not at all a worthwhile article.
