Ask HN: What Cloud storage provider(s) do you use?

5 points by lunch ↗ HN
Dropbox, Google Drive, One Drive, S3, etc?

Why?

If more than one, do you put specific files in one over the other?

Google Drive for random things

S3 for photos

S3 because I am essentially tethered to the AWS ecosystem after receiving AWS credits from Y Combinator Office Hours. This is no complaint, I love the ecosystem.

Google drive for everything important, dropbox for random stuff.

I use SpideroakONE

( even though it's encrypted, I still encrypt it on the cmd before pushing it into the cloud )

Onedrive. Microsoft gives out storage every time I turn around. I think I have upwards of 300GB available at this point.

I got a Surface and Microsoft gave me 1tb.

We know someone with office 360 license so were added to that for free because up to 4 licensees can be added iirc. Gets me 1Tb of cloud plus all the office apps.

Dropbox for syncing between computers S3 for backups and photos with mirroring to Google Drive (For faster restores) S3 for blog/static sites
NetStrikeForce
OneDrive as I've got an O365 account and it backs up my pics on my Android phone :)

I've got a (paid) Google Drive account too and I'm considering using it for replication. Does anyone have an IFTT recipe to copy files between providers?

Forgot to add that I've got a free Dropbox account with old, unimportant stuff.

Personally I use dropbox, blackblaze. In my day job we use Google Drive, S3.
