Any different than Backblaze B2? Seems that B2 is still cheaper and more mature.
Very 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 scal…
note that you can use many other clients like for example "Arq Backup" or "acd_cli" ( https://github.com/yadayada/acd_cli ) to transfer files to Amazon Cloud Drive.

I think there may be something missing in the comparison table. When I look at the prices of Backblaze, https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage-providers.html it is $0.05 for 1 mo but in the table on the website of C14, it's written "free"
Also I think Backblaze is geared towards backing up your Desktop with its own client software, or can I use regular scp/ftp/etc(standard transfer utilties) to do my own upload/download?
That's €0.002 per GB/m, AWS Glacier is $0.007 per GB/m. So it's like a third of the price. Do I read this right?
Only Backblaze had unlimited storage for 5 dollars a month, but I wanted to upload multiple terabytes from a server and they only allowed uploading stuff through their custom, closed-source client.
I didn't have enough time to get my backup service off the ground, but prices have been getting significantly better since then (this was two or three years ago). Dropbox, Google Drive and others are now nearly reasonable and Amazon is lagging behind a bit. I'm still waiting for another price cut, and C14 seems to be doing it. Backblaze B2 is also interesting, but it has other issues again.
Website impossible to use because it hijacked my scrollbar without understanding the dimensions of my browser window.

http://www.apple.com/mac-pro/ I do not understand why many choose to do it. It is definitely annoying.
For me the apple site looks and feels fantastic ;)
Another page, the specs, does not seem to override my scrolling, so that feels fantastic indeed but it's probably not what you mean.

Amazon has always been extremely expensive in storage. I wanted to start a company doing online backups because every option was outrageously expensive. Like, so expensive I could just buy new disks and host them myself every 2 months for what they were trying to charge. (A disk lasts about 3 to 4 years, so that's a >2000% profit margin.) Only Backblaze had unlimited storage for 5 dollars a month, but I wanted to upl…
There is no cloud, only other person's computers.
How does it compare against Amazon Cloud Drive that has unlimited storage for USD ~60/year?
Whoah. I had no idea about this. That's massively cheaper than Google and Dropbox. Is there some catch about max download size limits per day or something?
