That was good news. Actually really good prices. Hope Dropbox/Onedrive follow with lower prices also.
this is just awesome. time to move all my backups to google drive
They call it Backupsy killer. True story.
Only Shitcard no Payshit such shit.
I have no idea what you just said.
Any Linux sync tool for google drive?
@TommehM Only Creditcard no Paypal such shit
i was just about to ask this. i found https://github.com/Grive/grive and im testing it right now, let me know if you find anything
I chuckled.
You can get a PayPal debit card, I have one.
@PCJamesy "We're sorry, this credit product is not offered in the country/region where your PayPal account is located."
Its only for US, go in a corner and shame yourself
So i used headless version of 15 day trial of https://www.insynchq.com/ to sync my backups from vps to google drive. Im going to use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.full to sync my phone pics to google drive (was using the same app to sync to vps as well).
I tried applying just now out of curiosity, but nope, no dice:
Sorry, you're not eligible for the PayPal Debit MasterCard®. This may be because you live outside the United States or you've already applied in the last 30 days.
(for the record, I'm in Canada.)
Make sure to encrypt everything before placing it up there, Google loves your data.
DropBox is worse mind you, their recent policy updates actually allow them explicitly to look through your files, and your files contents; if they feel the need (in regards to copyright infringement, etc.)
can google drive be mounted to your vps and use it to hotlink files?
as the price goes down, i believe more developer will build google drive compatible app/software. this is just the nature, that people will always hunt for cheap price, and this is a good thing.
$2 for 100 Gigs, i am totally sold. :-D
Pretty cool, I got the 100gb of a data free for a year because I bought a Chromebook. If these prices stay (not sure if a promo or what), i'll be sure to stay with Drive
Move everything to Google so they can easily share your data to NSA
Still can't beat OVH

Where my personal data will be safe and no one will want to look at it ?
I store my "not so sensitive" personal data to DropBox, automatically pushed from my phone..... is there any better place?
encrypt your data with truecrypt, boxcryptor, etc and your are safe.
no. I use OneDrive to autobackup picture from my phone.
Yes, insync, I have it running on a headless VPS too monitored by supervisord and it works very well (I didnt initially have to do something like find . -type d | xargs touch to get the sync moving but this may of been down to symlinking). dropboxd (headless dropbox) on the other hand continously stops working and seems to fork itself (possibly to handle autoupdates?), let the parent die and thus is now a direct child of init - completely annoying given there is no control options. insync works as described, I think I purchased a lifetime license for $15
People will always look for bargain prices, it's not bad though I got 100gb free for a year because of the Chromebook I bought.
Nice prices but hard to trust Google Drive with all the issues I experienced when I tried it soon after release. If I recall correctly the worst problem was it constantly duplicating my files. I think whenever I edited anything it made copy instead of updating original file. Stuck with Dropbox and Box (50GB free). Tempting to give another try at these prices.
It can. hubiC is much slower compared to Google Drive. Their WebUI is also pretty minimalistic and honestly it just doesn't work. Considering hubiC is somewhat new you can't even be sure they are gonna stick around for much longer.
hubic also has no redundancy at all guaranteed.
@william my understanding was that hubic only considers a "write" successful if all 3 independent back-end writes occur (i.e. redundancy by design). Do you mean guarantee as in contractually?
What kind of redundancy does Google Drive offer compared to say Amazon S3? Not that they would be in the same league in my opinion.
Well the good thing about this is maybe the competition might decide to drop their prices as well. Imagine if Dropbox and Box offer 1TB for less than $9..then that would be really awesome. Amazon can follow suite right after.
Yes.
