I tried hubiC and it exactly same as dropbox, but worse services and better prices. So it is useless.
I need cloud storage which I could use "unsynchronized". If I had 10TB hardrive in my MAC, I would use it. But I have only 100 GB so it is useless

You are a customer or where is that info coming from ?
I've had some SLA annoyances from them and setup fees have been expensive, but overall their dedicated servers have provided me with pretty fantastic value when I was running them. I'm a Canadian and I've been considering grabbing a box here from them, www.soyoustart.com/ca/en/offers.xml the pricing is ridiculously low. You wouldn't get 10TB, but if you mirror the disks for 50$ a month you have a reliable 2TB of disk…
They run the Kimsufi line, which is massively oversold (close to 40 "100mbps" clients per real 100Mbps). Their EG and HG server series is also way oversold if you've ever attempted to use the network to its fullest.
Plus Oles, the CEO of OVH, goes on tirades against his customers every few months.

#93I can't seem to find their privacy policy and ToS document is in French. I think I'll pass. In fact, the only mention of privacy I found is "respect for privacy" in data security.
https://hubic.com/en/data-security It's marketing but... """ Only you can access and share the contents of your hubiC space using your username and password. You are also solely responsible for the content you place on hubiC and share with your contacts.

They also have datacenters in Strasbourg, Paris, Gravelines and Montreal (Canada), but I am not sure if they host part of the hubiC service there.

I'd use Dropbox as write-once-read-occasionally personal junk archival storage, but they don't offer anything in that area. This service does, and for an astonishingly great price. 10TiB for 10€, and they even promised something about internal 3x storage redundancy. I'm unzipping my wallet right after I run basic checks with free account.
> I'd use Dropbox as write-once-read-occasionally personal junk archival storage ... That's what I'm using Amazon Glacier for. I have tons of old files that I'll likely never need/want again and that I would normally just blow away in order to regain the disk space. It's so damn cheap, though, that I've started archiving them all to Glacier and then blowing them away.
Well, this offer seems to be about 10x cheaper.
Not to say you don't have to wait for hours before you retrieve the file, and it's flat rate, not "download some percent from what you've uploaded today for free, otherwise pay for the bandwidth" plan.
For example, I've used Bitcasa before, but consider them too unreliable as a long-term business and left their service. It didn't cost me a cent to pull all the data back (with some minor exceptions their buggy software managed to lose unrecoverably, but I never considered them rock-solid-reliable from the beginning and had backups). With Glacier, I guess, I'd have to shell out $150 (~1.5TB) just to leave with my data.
There are other unlimited/large storage offers of various pricing and quality, but this one seem the best to me this far because of OpenStack API (I'd wish Cyphertite had a datacenter in Europe or Russia, but nope, so they're too slow for me, and I'm not really sure even though they're "unlimited" they'll be happy with terabyte archives). That is, unless one has more than 10 terabytes to archive.

Earlier when I used to see people mentioning BackBlaze and not CrashPlan I used to be pissed in a way,but after I used its (BB's) native app for a month (on trial) I could see the difference.
BackBlaze only keeps deleted files for 30 days. They are backup copy, not backup archive. At least CrashPlan could be used as both with "remove deleted versions: never" setting.
Yes, that's one thing. But if that's not a big issue for me (which is not) then the CrashPlan interface and app makes me cry. (I am still a CrashPlan user though; "friends" as destination is sth very important to me).
Re: 100 time cheaper dropbox like service
#97Jesus that's cheap. Anyone know how good their differential syncing is, or what they are using (librsync?) Are they using inotify or is it a regular tree walk?
(Fires up a decompiler) Let's check... 1. From a quick glance I can't find anything related to patching in backend or change handling classes. Either I'm missing something or it doesn't handle arbitrary changes well. There's some suspect-driving long ByteDelta property on Change class, but I fail to see where it's used in a meaningful manner. 2. It uses a lightweight abstraction over System.IO.FileSystemWatcher. This…
