One drive is full

[Papa Steve 55]

I keep getting this message, along with the opportunity of a lifetime to buy more storage. 90% of the backup stuff are photos. I also use flash drives, and play them on a digital photo frame.

Do any of you pay extra for One Drive storage? If not, what do you use for backup? I had a hard drive crash a few years ago and lost about 1000 photos that I had not backed up.

Google Drive and Dropbox for me.   There are others that are free.   I doubt I'd ever pay for cloud storage.   You could always copy them to a DVD.

I've been using Windows for a few months now and got this message recently.  I didn't realize some of my folders were automatically on OneDrive, including a 3.5GB virtual machine.  I'll be fixing that before too long, which will solve the "low on space on OneDrive" problem too.

I primarily use Google Drive and Dropbox, and I can't see paying for cloud storage just yet either.

I pay for Dropbox AND CrashPlan.

If you're not backing your files up to a cloud storage service, you're even more in danger of losing files.

Local only doesn't cut it.

If you are an Amazon Prime member, you get free unlimited storage of photographs on Amazon Cloud Services.

Google Drive and the $20/year  for  100GB.  My iPhone syncs all my photos to Google Photos.

We switched from Dropbox to OneDrive when our organization adopted Office 365. I hate it. Tons of issues. Good concept but bad platform.

I'm paranoid, I pay for OneDrive, Google Drive and AWS have a decent amount of space on free Dropbox from promotions. The Microsoft Office+OneDrive plan is actually not bad if you need Office. Heck, I store hard drives and flash drives in the safety deposit box at the bank. Rule of 3.

Dell is offering 1 year of Dropbox Plus normally $100, for $60 plus you get a Dell $25 gift card, use it to buy extra cables or apply it to a hard drive.

If there's a gotcha with this, I'm don't know what it is, just relaying it from another source.

Our company uses MozyPro for backup.  I use my internal HD, time machine backup SSD, portable HDD, and of course MozyPro.

I used to use Google drive and One drive, but since they are not encrypted, I don't use those anymore.
