How to upload files to Copy, OneDrive, and other online storage services from an Ubuntu server?
I have some 400GBs to be backed up and as of now. So, till I find a really low priced/budget seedbox/VPS/dedi or online storage, I would like to keep those files (media files) on such service for some time).
Are there command-line clients for these services or anyway to upload to these services from an Ubuntu server? Or any other really cheap backup cold storage solution?

If that's the way to look then I don't know why you should keep this LET account in the first place.
Thanks. Will check.
OR use hubic.com
megatools is your friend (mega only)
or you may deploy LXDE + VNC desktop

I've tried it on my 256MB RAM box and Firefox 36 works
Copy: Copycmd
MEGA: Megacmd
Dropbox: Google pls...
Baidu PCS: bypy
My Dropbox a/c is almost full.
I created a 25GB free a/c and I am trying to set it up.
If you use wordpress, its a simple way with plugins
You can also setup a small VPS with Ubuntu Desktop environment

That is still heavy, use this in short for debian:
This can be done from a minimal image with ssh only.
You may need java, in which case, the last line will be like this:
Then you use the rdp client in windows or remmina for linux to connect to your IP with user root and your root password (it is a good idea to use a different user for this but the default will work for a temporary solution).
You may also wish to change default port and make sure you select rdp in remmina which can connect using other protocols too, which will obviously not work with a rdp only server.
the above works well in 256 MB ram, but it obviously depends on the browser ram needs, for java+flash you may be safer with 512.
Cheap kimsufi with windows works well as a gateway for OneDrive. I SFTP over the backups and then use windows to upload to OneDrive.
