Which cloud services do you use? - GoFuckYourself.com

fris · 06-17-2013, 05:54 AM

I usally use dropbox, do you use any others.

sugarsync, box.net, etc

thumbuilderic · 06-17-2013, 06:01 AM

For my production needs/sites I use the AWS stack and I'll never use anything else. I'm very proficient with it.

I've been vacillating on whether or not to go "all in" on Google Drive or Dropbox. I have 15 GB with Dropbox and a ton of stuff hosted with them, but no easy way to access spreadsheets or word documents easily like I do with Drive.

I also use iCloud a lot, and purchased the yearly upgrade to keep my iPhone out of trouble. I've found it to be useful though I never really think about it even existing!

Are you merely looking for opinions or are you looking for some honest reviews on something? I'm blanking on what else I use, but I'm sure I use some other cloud services.

Dropbox
Amazon Cloud Drive
Just Cloud
Google Drive
Sky Drive (Windows)

I split my content and backups across multiple cloud providers at the free level. And I do hard drive backups as well. I have heard suck about Box.

I agree amazon web services are really great. Very simple to implement also useful and inexpensive. Lot of great services. I think dropbox even uses amazon for storage

I use Dropbox. Lots of 3rd party support unlike Google Drive. With Dropsync I have docs and spreadsheets synced on my desktop, tablet, and phone.

AWS for all new production services... cheap at first but scaling ups starts to get expensive... current spend is $5k a month.. About to implement autoscaling across my application layer to bring the costs down...

I have one of these and the one thing I don't like about the one I have is that it's ONLY accessible from the network. You can't connect it to your PC and transfer stuff quickly if need be.

Are you talking about Owncloud or My Book Live? For both you should be able to transfer files from any device connected to your local network or from the web.

You should try Microsoft Skydrive...
It's really impressive and it can edit office documents (word, excel etc) online...
Really cool stuff and works great...

Supz · 06-17-2013, 09:55 PM

I use Freshbook. I guess its cloud. Its SaaS. Also google apps, gmail, and just setup a private cloud on a few servers and some storage for myself for a mainstream project ive been working on.

fris · 06-18-2013, 08:17 AM

EddyTheDog · 06-18-2013, 08:27 AM
