Remember that billboard puzzle google put up in 2004? I think this might be the same thing. If you can figure out what Google One is you are a genius!

Thank you.

So looking from a single private user's perspective: Google One has best pricing, but no Linux native client and Dropbox has Linux native client and no flexible pricing.

For flexibility there is ownCloud. Build your own, where you want, has Linux and all the stuff you need.

Prediction: this will shut down in 2.75 years.

Funny enough, all options almost exactly match Apple pricing.

Apple:

50GB for 0.99

200GB for 2.99

2TB for 9.99

Google:

100GB for 1.99

200GB for 2.99

2TB for 9.99

I'd suggest NextCloud instead. Including Two Factor Authentication in the latest release https://nextcloud.com/blog/next-generation-2-factor-authenti...

A lot of people are saying the page is really busy. Visiting on mobile (Firefox) this is probably one of the quietest landing pages I've seen: A logo A headline Two short sentences A sign up box A note saying that paying customers will eventually automatically be upgraded. That's it. No pictures. No movies. No backgrounds. No parallax. No nothing. Did they completely change the landing page since this was posted 20 m…

Is the sign up box for a mailing list so you'll be informed when it becomes available in your country?

For me (Germany, mobile Firefox) it's completely overladen with animations that showcase all the wonderful file formats you can store on your cloud drive.

Google One = Google Drive + more space + Customer Service for around $2 a month. Customer Service is not called Customer Service but Google Experts. What does this mean for actual service? The thing I like/jumps out for me is no compressing of images. That is one of the reasons I decided to go with Backblaze for backup. I would still stay with backblaze as I am not so confident about Google keeping the product around…

> I have managed to setup a upload workflow for Backblaze on my linux machine without going through a browser. Would it be possible for you to share your way of doing this? I would be very interested in B2 access without browser.

rclone supports B2
