MEGA alternatives

>muh bandwidth
Hello America!

Can't you just create another account or do they constantly check your cookies/IP?

Nobody can make money out giving away free space unless in mined to fuck. 50gb is free but if you are serius about having a large offsite backup, backblaze is pretty much the place to go. $5pcm unlimited data

try for yourself and find out

I'm looking to diversify in case the whole thing goes down.

they monitor your IP for bandwidth quotas.

Online backups are not worth the effort for me. Too much data, and it's generally too slow for free users.

I just put the shit on an encrypted external harddrives and park them at relatives. Granny has no idea how much high quality porn she has.

>Too much data
You could back up only your own projects and irreplaceable media like photos you took yourself.

Let's be honest the only thing most people who need massive amounts of storage on this site are usually just storing 3 months of anime tiddies and and all their favorite music in .flac

A lot of people have been using zippyshare the last year, but it's got sneakads and malware, so it's not a good idea unless you're using jdownloader or something.
Maybe not even then since jdownloader isn't safe in and of itself.

These don't even take that much space, at least for me they easy fit on gdrive. And due the small size, it's even simpler to make enough copies to feel safe.

Zippyshare malware can be overcome with basic ass adblockers. The bigger issue is probably limited file size. Think it was 500mb per file.

My whole point is exactly that your original work probably isn't massive. The rest isn't worth backing up unless it's rare, like a beta version of an obscure shareware application, a movie that never saw a DVD release or a web manga from 2004.

>The rest isn't worth backing up unless it's rare
Specific porn is rare and can disappear any second. Also shit like music is just a bitch to redownload fresh, especially if you actually care about tagging.

>especially if you actually care about tagging
Could you back up your tags only?

H-how is that supposed to work?

Like MusicBrainz. At the most basic level you could take your music files, checksum them, extract the tags and save the pairs of (checksum, tags) to a file. The checksum could be something standard like MD5 or a music-specific checksum that matches across different encodes.

>music-specific checksum that matches across different encodes
How reliable would that be though? Maybe I am totally out of touch with tech but this seems a tad unrealistic to work even for 90% of cases.

Why do so many people hate Mega?
I love getting my paid Vocaloid albums there for free.

I get my chinese eroges and mods there too.
I have no idea either.

It's because people hate things that other people like because of their hipster complex.

You get 15G free, they have a good app, and it's all (((supposedly))) encrypted on their end. I don't see the problem with it.

I host files on mega. I'm nearly at the limit of my free 50GB and I'm thinking of paying the $5-6/mo for the 200GB option in order to ensure I can upload new stuff and people can still access everything. I think Google drive has a 100GB option that works out slightly cheaper per GB compared to mega but the interface is kinda ass and I'd have to reupload everything so I'm not sure I wanna go that route. It doesn't really matter if mega goes down again because I have local backups of all my uploaded content anyway. It's really only a platform to make the content available to other people. The only annoying issue with mega is when I last tried to upgrade my account my card always declined with them. I really wish they'd allow paypal for payment. You have to go through this weird payment gateway in Luxembourg or something and my card holder automatically flags that as fraudulent activity and freezes those purchases. I have had issues before making international payments to places that didn't accept paypal.

Kim Dot Come says it's compromised, I believe him.

americans have some of the least bandwidth issues in the world

Everything big enough to be known by normal-fags aka. people on 4chains is compromised. Just encrypt your shit before you upload it.

You get 1TB of OneDrive storage with a .edu email
products.office.com/en-us/student/office-in-education

However individual files are limited to 4GB which poses an annoyance if you're uploading an image of a hard drive or something.

mediafire. poorfag.

disregard that they raised the individual file cap to 15GB

not terrible i guess

isn't there like a daily 5gb limit or something?

For DL yeah, dunno about UL.

Pick any cloud service you fancy. Dont think of any of them as trustworthy.

Use Cryptomator for real time sync. It locally encrypts your dat before passing it on to your sync client.

Use Duplicati for backups. It also encrypts your data locally and will upload directly to most of the cloud providers and will also work with webdav.

Nah, it's usually terrible Jow Forums image servers.
I can easily get 400 mbps up and down but Jow Forums is still slow

>Why do so many people hate Mega?
I don't know about others, but I don't hate it. I remember RapidShit too well for that. However, MEGA owns too much of the market now. This makes them both more likely to fuck with their users AND an attractive target for anti-piracy forces to try to shut down. For these reasons it is worth looking for and using their competition. Mirror your MEGA shit somewhere else, too.

An Amazon S3 clone may be cheaper for you.

You should not make the big vs. small distinction and assume everything is or will be compromised. If it's small the owner has the time to personally look through your data, which is even worse.

NZ has had unlimited plans for almost five years

Converting an image to 8-bit is lossy. You might as well have posted a JPEG. And you didn't even optimize your image properly.

>backblaze
I'm always hesitant to try services I see shilled a lot and there are a whole lot of people on youtube that push backblaze. If you have to shill hard to get people to use your product do you really have a good product?

I don't think B2 is heavily shilled, only their consumer solution, which I found worse than CrashPlan (RIP) because you couldn't configure it for selective backup and the upload speed wasn't there. B2 is a different thing aimed at nerds and businesses.

I want them both to suck my USB drive

Not a flattering comparison.

IPFS

How is IPFS a MEGA alternative? IPFS is a distribution mechanism. You still need someone hosting and serving your files.

bump

Admit it, you tried it once, thought "huh, cool I guess", deleted it instantly and never tried it again, right? Just like everybody else.

Not the poster you're replying to, but I've actually used it to share files.
