C14 – Cheap, secure long term cloud storage

Re: C14 – Cheap, secure long term cloud storage
#52Very interesting. Aside from the slight inconvenience of not being able to use standard tools like ftp, scp and rsync... Amazon Cloud Drive's $60 a year plan ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/clouddrive/ ) is still significantly cheaper for storing more than ~2.5TB. It's also free of charges per operation and such like. Amazon Cloud Drive doesn't seem to have any SLAs regarding uptime and redundancy though... I'm not sure i…
Can anyone with direct and frequent experience with Amazon Drive comment on how well the product's been working out for them overall?
I've just been playing with its interface a little bit, and although its interface is unquestionably pretty clunky (both web and desktop app), it does seem like a I could save money by moving to its $60 unlimited plan. I currently use a set of S3 buckets, which is great in that it scales with use, but I'm about to cross the $5/month threshold.
Edit: The biggest missing feature so far seems to be something akin to a folder sync. When re-uploading a directory, it seems to be able to skip files that it knows it already has, but I'm not sure if it can delete files that have subsequently been removed locally.

#53Intuitively, it seems sub-optimal (for Americans and Canadians) to send your backup across the Atlantic ocean - probably slower than something on the same continent.

#54"C14" is suspiciously similar to "CIA"... just saying.
No, It's really not.

#55>> Your important data are encrypted AES-256 and replicated many times then stored in our 25 meters deep underground fallout shelter, located in Paris, with no known natural, technological and military risks. So, only one location.
Yeah, it's pretty silly to say "no military risk" about any single location. Yes, France is as geopolitically stable location as there is on Earth, but it's also part of NATO and NATO has rivals, like Russia and China, with whom they may go to war with in the future. France has been invaded in the past, and may be again. If you're really concerned about possibilities like that, you should be storing your data redunda…

#56Their comparison section looks like an advertisement for Backblaze B2. C14 looked interesting until I got to that part. Now, I'm not sure why I would choose C14 over Backblaze.
Re: C14 – Cheap, secure long term cloud storage
#57Any different than Backblaze B2? Seems that B2 is still cheaper and more mature.
B2 has a file limit of 5GB. No thanks. What's with the downvotes? Here: "A file contains a sequence of bytes. Any file on your computer can be uploaded to B2 and stored in a Cloud Storage, as long as it's not too big. Files can range in size from 0 bytes to 5 billion bytes. " https://www.backblaze.com/b2/docs/files.html
I think for data integrity alone, you wouldn't want to upload files that large. Just create an archive that splits the file up.

You have to pay a 1 € to add or get back the data, so it's more for long term storage. I don't think the speed of transfering data is hugely crucial in this case.
