I primarily use my own NAS for cloud storage, but for quickly sharing files I'll use Dropbox. What services does everyone else use?
 
I use Dropbox as my primary and Google Drive as my DropBox backup. I'll be setting up a server with my old desktop at some point so that will act as a file server.

I do prefer the home server/NAS approach, however many services like Dropbox offer such ease of use when it comes to syncing files between devices and sharing with others. When I want to share files, I rarely use my own NAS as if that link gets shared with hundreds of people my internet would suffer. I'm now looking into secure cloud storage and so far MEGA seems to be the best option for that.

The biggest issue for most cloud storage solutions is that the data needs to be in their cloud folder, and can't easily be linked to existing folders. MEGA allows you to sync to other folders that you already have setup IIRC.

Yeah I mostly use Dropbox for camera uploads from my phone and saving school work to.
 
I use Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Box and my NAS. Mostly use Google Drive and Dropbox, the others less frequently.
 
Pressed Other cos I didn't see onedrive lol.

All my college work is stored there, as well as my pc, I just download it at college :)
 
So you're saying someone can crack a more than 10 digit alpha, numeric, symbol based password using AES 256? :rolleyes:

AES became effective as a federal government standard on May 26, 2002 after approval by the Secretary of Commerce. AES is included in the ISO/IEC 18033-3 standard. AES is available in many different encryption packages, and is the first publicly accessible and open cipher approved by the National Security Agency (NSA) for top secret information when used in an NSA approved cryptographic module (see Security of AES, below).

I don't use a "NSA approved cryptographic module", but I have my computers encrypted and I have run no less than 5 malware scaners including Herdprotect that uses 68 virus engines and found nothing. The combination of Sandboxie, NoScript and commonsense is my security. I'm actually hoping I did get malware because I feel left out. LOL!
