I initially used the copy of the files on Google Drive, but soon found out that Google Drive is not the best platform for this, as access to the files is quite slow. I designed a web page to browse my music collection and play files either locally (using LMS) or through the cloud when I am not at home. I did not find a good application to browse and play my music collection using Google Drive, so I developped my own. With automatic sync one has to be extra careful not to modify/delete content on Google Drive accidentally. As mentioned by others, the initial upload of all the files is slow (takes a day for 1 terabytes). The automatic sync software on Windows works pretty well, but takes up a lot of resources on my computer when syncing. I like the fact that file content is automatically indexed (either text files or images/pdf through OCR) I use google drive to back up my library (in addition to a backup on local drives). 😉Īnd actually the advice here really helped to make that choice, so thanks all. I did not want to take the risk of later enforcement of that rule given the hassle to get all the data up there.įor now happy with Jottacloud with rclone (see previous post).
The second sentence means that if you pay for one user (which is less than 4 users), the official max is 1TB. The unlimited in the first part refers to Google files that are unlimited in all Google storage products, so this does not apply to music files. Or if there are 4 or fewer users in your organization, each user gets 1 TB of storage." Google write: "With G Suite Business, each user in your organization can store unlimited Gmail messages, Google Photos, and files in Drive. I would have preferred G Suite Business as recommended by TJtennispro, however was advised elsewhere that this could be risky: It is a well known service in Europe that started in 2008. Jottacloud for me felt best in terms of speed, user experience, cost and data center location. I tried five providers, including some suggested here. To each their own but I’ll never understand people that ask about suggestions about where to store music and when presented with suggestions does one that nobody has heard of or suggested. Just joining the conversation started by the OP. I wasn't and am not now remarking on Bliss. Probably ultimately for me I prefer to work in my own shed than somebody else's - that's all. I would have to anticipate an alternative solution in advance - the one I now prefer i.e. And what if I ever stopped using a paid-for service for any reason - financial hardship, forgetting etc. Obviously I don't want to pay unless of value to me. Pragmatically I can imagine all sorts of upload problems and hiccoughs compared with USB transfer to another HDD. That was a rhetoric question no matter the facts. If I use third party software to backup and update my music library, could I be 100% sure that no snooping of my other files (or browsing activity etc) ever happened. But I could get over this in relation to my music files. I don't like the idea of handing over my data voluntarily to third parties - we condone things by participating in them.
I imagine it can be a fitting solution in corporate environments and for some personal users - I guess. I am not responding to your Bliss service directly - only your post, "What if. You can see from my post that I am left with a bit of "If you want something done properly you have to do it yourself" belief-script.
All computing systems (mostly software of course) present frustrating obstacles to me (I know I am my own victim) - and I have found Apple the worst environment of all. The "We know what you want before you know what you want" thing is just a euphemism for a certain kind of philosophy of computing epitomised in my mind (and uncomfortable experience) by Apple. Personally I just use S3 still (used to use who had excellent customer service, but the price increase was just too much). What are the problems with online backup for you at the moment? Thanks for the feedback, it's very useful - although I don't recall saying "I know what you want" - album art could easily be optional, in fact the tagging options in general could be optional.
