Keep making videos brother, stumbled upon looking at online backup storages and like everyone else was surprised this channel wasn't bigger than it is due to the amazing production quality. Subscribed and actively watched some more vids as a show of support
@@PeteMatheson yes as DDRMR said , very professional Pete,
What the hell, I thought I was watching a big channel. This is top notch quality my friend, good luck to you.
Seriously Same
@@PeteMatheson just for that, I just subscribed. I watched al many videos on this. And you made if the clearest. You rock!
Yes, me too... Seems very professional.
I just check the subscribers after i read your comment, i was surprise too, you just got another subscriber my friend haha Goodluck!
@@eshant94 and iiiiii
Wow honestly the quality of this video is amazing - I would've guessed you had hundreds of thousands of subscribers! It's awesome to see smaller creators making such high-quality content. Good luck with growing your channel!
I, like many of the others in this comment section, was surprised to see your subscriber count. You strike a good balance between good cinematography and informative content. Thank you for helping with my decision, and good luck with your channel!
Wow! Thank you for taking the time to research and dissect these different services. I’ve been trying to decide which platform is best for me, since I’m trying to move away from using iCloud primarily. I am definitely going with Dropbox because of their file versioning and Smart Sync.
This has helped me to made a choice. And I really needed this video. I did not want to sit for the whole thing, but it was worth it. Thank you
Nice content, i thought i was watching a big channel. Keep it up!! You’ll be able to have a lot of subscribers in a matter of time🙌
I gave you a like as soon as I saw the time stamps in your description section 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This is a good one, Keep it up Man !!!
Have to agree with other commentators. This guy is putting up quality content. No excessive long intro. No long chit chat that has nothing to do with the subject of the video. Shows the products and not just giving an opinion while playing a game. These are the kind of reviewers tech companies need to send products to.
He could use a short intro with the brand of his channel. Those are ok even with a quick commercial.
Its the ones that have to play a whole song that are so annoying.
Overall excellent job.
Hi Michael, when will you release a new album?
Super helpful and high quality content - thank you.
A chart while you were reviewing the features would've been nice to keep track of everything you mentioned, specially if the video is a little bit on the long side. Also, a general overview about the UI on mobile vs desktop comparison would be a good follow up on this. Other than that great review.
Great video mate. Thanks for taking the time.
5.25 inch floppy on shelf. I remember those days! And then we went to the 3.5 inch HARD plastic! That was cutting edge! I remember loading ms office, like 18 disks! Took you HOURS just to install the sucker!
Hi Pete. You forgot one very important thing. I prefer dropbox for two reasons. One reason is how to syncs files. In Dropbox, let's say I'm editing a 500MB PowerPoint presentation and if I edit and save the file on the bits I changed are uploaded. In Google Drive it reuploads the entire file, meaning a lot of internet data is gone. And if you are using two computers Dropbox has LAN sync which automatically downloads the edited file to the other computer, OneDrive and Google drive lacks these very important features. That being said I'm a Google Drive user cause they have 2.99 per month 200GB option and I don't need 2TB which dropbox offers. (and the cheapest dropbox plan is too expensive for me). I keep all the files I usually edit in Dropbox(free 16GB)and the rest on Google Drive.
Excellent
Excellent video and breakdown of each service. Looks like I’ll be going with Google Drive.
Great content, thank you
Excellent video. Thank you for the analysis. I’m a OneDrive user but I’m always interest in learning about other offerings.
Thanks. I noticed the sync on dropbox is very good and i'm going with them. Although the client itself is bloatware hell which is annoying.
Thank you for this through video. Great content
I’m going to start using google drive now, thanks bro, keep up the good work 👌
Great Content... God bless you Sir 😊 from Ph 🇵🇭
You're talking like unbox therapy. Great content (:->)
The hand thing. 👈 👉
Thank you so much for getting back to me - I will give that a try
Great comparisons, great content.
I love that I can click on each part of your video and know what option your talking about!! How do you do that? Next video lol Thank you for this very helpful info!!
Got yourself a subscriber, thanks for a quality informative channel
You earned a new subscriber brother! Keep up the awesome work.
Great content, Great lighting....I too fall in category who think that you have million subscriber's just after watching ur awesome content. 😂..Subscribed!
Great comparison! You should do one similar to this, but specifically Photo storage (OneDrive Photo, Google Photo, Dropbox, Amazon Photos, Apple Photos).
@@PeteMatheson I'm in the process of doing a photo management overhaul and came across this video. On that note, do you know much about OneDrive photos? Specifically, I want to be able to sync OneDrive (Files on Demand) to my Mac and PC. Then I want to be able to edit keywords/metadata for the photos in OneDrive from either computer. I was going to use tags in the OneDrive Photo online client, but it's unclear to me if those tags actually change the keywords in metadata and I can only search one tag at a time (which is dumb). Are you aware of a good photo manager (like Adobe Bridge) that would let me view/edit metadata for photos synced in OneDrive on a Mac and a PC?
Such great info, thank you so much you make the best videos!
What this tells me is that there is a need for a better cloud storage system than what is currently being offered.
Subscribed. Found another 💎
I use Onedrive mainly for backing up and syncing my Mac (s) and recently I realized that Onedrive is the one that causes my computer to turn on the fan for no particular reason and drains the battery at a very fast rate
Yes! How could he not mention this in his video altho he‘s a Mac user himself? OneDrive is not an option on Mac! It is slow, extremely buggy, and constantly takes up 100% of CPU usage for no reason. Microsoft has known these issues for at least 5 years, they don‘t care at all.
@@PeteMatheson Really? There are people saying they put OneDrive on a fresh macOS installation and they instantly have those same issues: answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_drive-mso_mac-mso_365hp/onedrive-for-macs-performance-is-terrible/fe7e29dc-f72d-484b-8440-a944d1ace079
I, myself, am running it on an i7 MBP from 2019... constant bugs, slow as hell, and every time my fans fire up for no reason, it's OneDrive doing its thing. Reinstalled it a million times, done all the "tips" they provide, doesn't help. Idk why some people don't seem to have these issues but others do.
Hey Pete. You're absolutely right that AWS is geared toward business or savvy tech users. However, did you explore Amazon's AmazonDrive option? I'd love to here your analysis of that offering.
Hi Pete - just a correction google drive has a back up feature you can set it up in step two. You can choose to mirror all change so if you delete a file on your pc it delete it in google drive or you can have it as a one way sync where no delete happen on google drive.👍
You deserve waaay more subscribers !
Good video. Very informative. I actually use iCloud for my personal but have all Apple so it works well for me.
Quality is awesome ... i can see your hardwork...soon you will get many many subscribers
In Google Drive I can upload a 5gb file in a few minutes and in DropBox it takes more than an hour. Does anyone know why? In the preferences I chose vanda width "without limits", but it works at 35% of my file upload capacity. What should I do to make it as fast as Google Drive?
Brilliant thank you
Just subscribed to your channel, good work
Thank you - great video!
As I clean up my Dropbox at nearly 5 am est 🤣😂😅
Holy damn yeah good quality, 9k subscribers? awesome contente!
This video was VERY helpful! I need a large pool of fast online storage for rapid video storage and this video helped me no end! Enjoy my sub ☺️
excelente video...it has all i need
American mom trying to clean up accounts. I didn't realize I already had One Drive through Office 365 while still paying for icloud and dropbox for other projects. Time to clean house and cancel some services. Much obliged!!
Great content!
Great Review :)
Content is most excellent. Thank you.
damn i thought you were a huge youtuber until i saw the comments. great vid, i think i might go with google drive
Good video. I use G-Suite for my business but use my personal Onedrive for file storage. Onedrive has limited my usability of this on the work profile of my Samsung S20Ultra so was going to get Onedrive for Business but as I have G-Suite, after seeign your video, I'm thinking of reverting from Onedrive to Google Drive so thanks for the detailed explanation between them both.
Thanks , just managed to figure out something I was had given up on.
Thx for the detail comparison. I will go for OneDrive!
I've been telling everyone that OneDrive is great, I've been using it since it called SkyDrive.
Narrowed it down to onedrive vs dropbox - the 15GB max file size of onedrive, which they don't mention anywhere, is a dealbreaker. Thank you for saving me a lot of time and headaches :)
Great quality. Keep THIS up. Don't change to beome like other youtubers. I'll sub
@@PeteMatheson can I mail?
Thank You Bro
solid vid 😁 here is my sub good sir
Great video. This isn’t a knock against you, but in my opinion all these options are over complicated bloatware. Anybody else think the basic market needs an extremely simple, low cost, low functionality solution?
Google drive and photos for me but also use iCloud for convenience hardly costs anything
In one drive I do have a back up of every file I have in my pc and If I deleted it by axident I can still recover it, and I can see older versions of files in the cloud
One feature you didn't mention but hugely affect user experience is block-level sync, which Dropbox and OneDrive support but Google Drive doesn't. If you edit a small part of an already uploaded file, Google Drive requires a full upload again, while Dropbox and OneDrive upload the part that is changed only, i.e. taking just seconds to sync instead of hours.
What would be the size and type of files that you work with to have this make sense?
@@leonchen4164 For example adding annotations to a large PDF file
Hi, this is UsefulStudent. Your on camera presence is great and your video presentation is amazing! I've no doubt you'll go far. I'm subscribing to keep an eye on your work XD. It's gonna be a quite a challenge keeping up with your channel, I'm just starting to get into the on camera presence videos. Your video titles are giving me video title ideas. Keep up the good work.
I have iCloud and dropbox - as a photographer I use Dropbox to share large numbers of shots with my models . Most options are easily accessible from the right click menu (I use a Mac) to copy links , share , send as an email transfer , rewind or Smartsynch - sadly iCloud has none of this easily accessible and I find it a messy schemozzle by comparison except in dealing with iPhone backups
Great thanks. Seen your photo one too. Now can you do iphone vs adroid or galaxy?
Dropbox by far, the best. Forget the small cost
First of all, nice video! Apart from that, who uses AWS privately? For businesses it's amazing, EC2, S3, IAM, all their services are top notch, but for the average user its a terrible choice. I think it comes down to what platform you use. If you ONLY use Apple devices go for iCloud, for everything else go for Google Drive.
I absolutely love how you present your information. It flows seamlessly from one subject to the next in an unbiased succinct manner. I’m a hooked subscriber now!
Great, very important video for so many of us. Thanks so much for taking so much time to look into these details and make it so clear for the rest of us!
Great Videos.! I guess AWS suites my requirement but unfortunately they are not providing storage services in India.
I believe Dropbox Smart Sync is available with Personal accounts.
I have a 2 Tb account
Great video! I'm curious if there are considerations for cross platform storage. For instance, people that use a Mac and Windows devices. I know some Mac devices create and store files in apple specific formats...(not .pdf, .doc, etc. but HFS+). Does that come into play with cloud storage or just physical external drive storage?
Thanks again for the great video! You've earned my subscription and like!
@@PeteMatheson Thanks for the quick response! What cloud base service do you use?
Your production quality is so great, please improve the thumbnail of this video.
@@PeteMatheson Much better 😀
Good work
Can u plz tell me what storage good for cctv purpose I mean to store cctv video footage at cheap price
Very helpful, thank you!
Super informative for ignoramus like me. Thanks!
Sync is the most Dropbox-like alternative. Moved to Sync earlier this year, after being a paid Dropbox customer since 2008. Should have done it sooner. I went with Sync for it's no fuss desktop like convenience (like Dropbox) and for ASAP syncing of my work which I do over a laptop and PC. I also have a 100GB Google Drive account (cheap and plenty for my needs) for backup and online storage--that isn't real-time syncing essential. OneDrive's pretty good--especially if you're a MS Office user. But for Dropbox like no-fuss and convenience + better security, Sync's the way to go.
There are so many solutions today, GDrive, OneDrive, Amazon, Dropbox, Syncthing.org, Sync. I'm using Cryptomator.org to encrypt my data in the Cloud.
excellent quality!
thanks for your advice keep up the good work!
Amazing Quality and Content, you got a new Subscriber best of luck 💪😃
Really love your content man. Precise comparison that I need right now
You're producing high quality content but doesn't have so many subs, why?
Onedrive is just a true winner for me
Try to search a word within a pdf in OneDrive. After that, do the same in Google Drive. Good luck.
good video quality, im just pissed i need more storage badly, I have 500 gigs of just rust videos I need to edit.
Man, i dig that hoodie-- where can i find that?
Can I log in to my free account from 7 machines at same time? For my staff to use from their residences?
Hi, thanks for the video. A while back when I used the DropBox app form my desktop, it opened up directly to my folders. Now, a window comes up (with a blue strip on the top) first and then I have to click on the folder icon and then on the "little face" icon and then finally I see what I was used to see, my list of Dropbox folders. Is there a shortcut around this?
the cheapest harddrive on the market is 13€ per tb. with that in mind you could easily buy a raspberry 3 or so and a few harddrives and USB sata adapters. put nextcloud on that thing and you got yourself your own cloud solution. you can get 3tb drives from seagate for 39€ or (~13€/tb). So you pay 80€ plus 35€ for the Pi3 one time and you got yourself a 6tb cloud solution with the only continuous price to pay being the little bit of energy, that those harddrives and raspi consume.
Currently using gdrive for the price point but I'm considering moving to Dropbox.
@Maitayp Studio Why?
@Maitayp Studio Alright, my situation is kinda weird. My university provides me 4 TB of Gdrive(Although, they claim it unlimited), 5 TB of One Drive and 500 GB of iCloud for absolutely Free!
Currently, I'm using iCloud to sync with my Macbook and iPhone but am unable to decide if I should use Gdrive or One Drive on a new win10 PC.
I love Gdrive and am an old user of it on Android. The reason am confused is because with One Drive I'll be getting free Office 365 as well.
I've got around 500 GB of data, that includes games and movies which am currently storing in a physical drive that has got no space left. Now, I'm thinking of uploading it to the cloud drive.
You know a funny thing, I loved Dropbox once upon a time and I still have around 18 Gigs of old files in it. It was initially 2 gigs and with the referrals, I could get more 16 gigs.
I recently left Dropbox after 3 years because its shared files transfer/usage was always too limited (i had the paid plus 2TB subscription) so i had many problems when happened (most of time by error or wrong validations, also theres a limit of 2GB download by people so that sucks, also theres no full week support) Finally i moved to Google Drive for the same price/storage and no sharing problems...
dubox - free lifetime 1tb storage. 4gb file size limit of each file upload.
is it safe ? privacy purpose?
How about pCloud? Is it good? Thanks.
Thanks Sir
A future version could include all the lesser known providers.
The irony of these reviews is that if a reviewer says any provider is brilliant then that provider gets swamped and can quickly become the worst provider. Oh the dilema... ;-)
It was very good explanation so big thumbs up for that. I am currently using goolge drive service for my entire files for my 3 computers (one laptop one desktorp and one macbook pro) and the main proglem annoying me is that google drive is killing your data plan over isp side. I mean for 1 gig file, even you changed one byte of it, then it replaces whole the file with the new one to all clients. And one more thing is also very bad and becoming burden to my computers is the ram and cpu usage of "backup and sync" aplication of goodle drive. Sometimes I have to stop it to continue to my job because it is slowing my pc down very bad. since there is no settings for opening it like in the night or weekend something, you can not organize it. for the price vise, I also searched alot and I have the Icloud for my apple devices, the cheapest one according to capacity is google drive. One drive from microsoft offers also very good plan but they force you to have all office products and if you already have permanent license you can not separete it from the package in microsoft ecosystem. I thing google must develop more lightweight program for the windows users, then they will win this competition. this is my opinion. thanks
very good info. Well done!! Thank you
Thank you
AWS S3 is really for enterprise and individual “prosumers” who are tech savvy. Google has similar offer with Google Cloud Storage platform, with Archive tier plan if you need to access data just once a year, for around $1 for 1TB of data, considerable cheaper than Google Drive. iCloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive are meant for everybody who value convenience. S3, Google Cloud, Azure are for advanced users. Another option that you could mention is Plex Media pass which has liftetime subscription. Leveraged with home server connected to S3 for periodical backup, you get ultimate platform of convenience but cost effective scalability.
All these clouds are centralized, it would be great if you do a review with the best-decentralized cloud storage, due to they are concerned about the privacy of their users. One example would be Internxt, it has a compromise with the privacy of the data and is also ecological, something really important nowadays... I know that there is more option of decentralized clouds, could you do a review of them? I would appreciate it, thanks!! :)
Great review Pete. I miss though information about a very important issue in this regard: which cloud storage service should we trust to have our business and private information in terms of privacy and security.
Thanks Pete. With regards to the authorities being able to have access I guess there’s little to do. Unless you get a cloud storage service that is zero knowledge end to end encrypted, and there are several out there: Sync.com, PCloud, Tresorit... I’ve been using Sync.com and it’s great, but I feel it is slower and it definitely makes collaboration (or even editing, at least of Microsoft files) much more difficult.
This is the reason why I’m looking for a cloud service with not so hard security measures (zero knowledge end to end AES-256 encryption), but as private as possible. If I’m not wrong all 5 services reviewed have the standard AES-128 encryption (I ignore Amazon, but it is a minimal standard I guess), not zero knowledge end to end encrypted. But if I want more speed and collaboration I guess I’ll have to go with it. What I cannot accept is that they freely scan all files to gather information, and I believe here Google is the king of meddling. If you happen to check/review these differences I’ll be happy to know. Thanks anyway!!
I forgot the last point: access to my files through my own computer. I had hoped that using security measures like VPN, firewall and antivirus/malware detector, I would be “pretty free” from data theft. And that when losing or getting stolen the computer you’re able to remotely delete it, at least the Mac devices. Is it not so?
@@PeteMatheson so Dropbox seems to be the safest then with hardly any outgages or data breaches?
Thanks for that
Pete Matheson ... after watching your video decided that my order of preference was.
1. Google drive File Stream
2. OneDrive
3. ICloud
But sadly it didn’t work out. I ruled out File Sync because google only provide it for G Suite customers. Tried to go with OneDrive, but it would not install on my windows 10 box (previous early installs screwed something up and I couldn’t seem to uninstall cleanly).
Went with my 3rd choice iCloud in the end. So slow to do the initial sync but now all works fine.
But nice to have the options and to know what I’m getting into following your explanation.
BTW for backup and restore I’m really happy with SpiderOak. Every version of every document on every device backed up in real time and retrievable on demand.
