Life it's a file, you can back it up. If it's physically sitting on a phone or laptop, it can move over.

Good question

It's listed/linked in description 😀

That is a good idea , wonder if i could

It's just a link, they click it and then they can open it or save it.

Backup important things to several places. Everything wears out and fails sooner or later.

Select all folders and then select move. Choose your cloud storage and hit enter.

It still works. I have it still as a cloud. Actually just received an update on December 4th.

My exact ????

Yes

Never. These fools just make videos and hope to capitalize off them, but rarely do you see them answer to anything they put on KZfaq.

Looks like you can. 5:50

Yep! It's connected thru the internet and is a normal cloud

LAN

No

It best to have your own device (which is the literal actual storage) then an app does it all for you. Can't get everything in life for free. You are owning your own cloud backup for your family

@@jimmyispromo I already have the storage devices, I am just looking for an app to do the heavy lifting. Never said the app had to be free, just don't need to buy equipment I already own.

@@holycrapski I have something like that setup but I was more interested in the autobackup features that an app would have, so that photos/videos/documents would be automatically backed up from our phones to the storage each time we were in the local wifi network without all the drag and drop stuff, if you know what I mean.

If the Xbox or Playstation can upload to a cloud, yes. I haven't checked into it. My games save to a big SSD i have plugged in

@@jimmyispromo I thought about getting a 4 TB and formatting it since it's probably cheaper. I had to delete games to add one. I need to do something to keep them all

Don't believe you can do that. Wouldn't be stable. If you don't have internet, place your storage device at a friend's house or family members house. Can be anywhere to back your stuff up.

No you can't use a hotspot the device has to be connected via ethernet so if you have T-Mobile or Verizon 5G home internet the Gateways they give have ethernet ports and Netgear does make a mifi that has an ethernet port but otherwise no

😂😂

I'm literally currently using it and they are created new machines each year.

@@jimmyispromo oh good. I've been wanting to buy one. I see they're still sold, but I wasn't sure if the cloud still works as it should.

😅

Why?

​@@AmbeSwag Its extremely slow, in everything, transfer files, search for files, indexing files. The user interface is useless, there are very limited extensions, u cant connect it directly to a pc, using e.g. usb port. The support is incompetent, there are no updates anylonger. The password cannot be set to be more than 8 characters, symbols are not supported, hence the security is crap. These are just what I can remember on the top of my head.

Not quite. NAS is completely different and best used for office

@@jimmyispromo I checked the spec on Amazon, isn't it the device a type of NAS? Would you explain any backup (auto) options for PC?

Cheap? The communication corporations are getting more greedy. They stopped using sd cards in devices and are limiting choices to save data to buying cloud storage for monthly fees. Phones, email, security cameras, and everything else adds up to outlandish costs. What makes this an awful idea??

there are many reasons why on-prem storage is not the best choice for home use compared to cloud storage: Redundancy: Cloud storage providers generally offer redundancy, meaning your data is stored in multiple locations to ensure it's safe and accessible even if one data center experiences an issue. With on-prem storage, you'll need to invest in additional hardware and perform regular backups to achieve similar redundancy, which could be time-consuming and costly. Scalability: Cloud storage allows you to easily increase or decrease your storage capacity as your needs change. On-prem storage, on the other hand, requires you to purchase and install additional hardware if you need more space, which can be both costly and cumbersome. Maintenance: Cloud storage providers handle all the maintenance, updates, and security for their servers. With on-prem storage, you'll need to invest time and effort in maintaining and updating your system to ensure it remains secure and up-to-date. Accessibility: Cloud storage can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection, making it easy to access and share your files across devices. On-prem storage, however, is typically accessible only within your local network, limiting your ability to easily access your data when you're away from home. Disaster recovery: In the event of a natural disaster or hardware failure, cloud storage providers usually have measures in place to ensure minimal data loss and quick recovery. With on-prem storage, you'll need to invest in additional backup systems and develop your own disaster recovery plan, which can be complex and time-consuming
