Need Cloud storage recommendation.

Like the title said I need a good cloud storage for a few files I need to store in case any of my hard drives die. I use to have megaupload but you know what happened I also had rapidshare but I want another more reliable. Something like drop box but more secure.

 

Those files must be pretty important/personal if you deem DropBox not secure enough.

Dunno what kind of data you want to store but if its only a few files as you say, might consider burning a CD?
I understand this might not be the answer you want to hear but really I do not know any more than the holy trinity of free cloud storage ( Dropbox, skydrive, google drive )

 

True crypt container in your Dropbox. Solved.

 

I have drop box but never really knew it was very secure because I heard a lot of people using it to share files and I thought it was a share system. So thanks. There are not big files but important, like guarantees papers, receipts and things like that.

 

You mean, nothing that the NSA don't already have? ;-)

 

I'd never store personal files in the cloud. But if you feel it's needed, you should do what Bad_Ad84 suggested and encrypt it with TrueCrypt at the very least. I'd take it further than that though by converting text files to base64>binary>hex, reversing audio recordings and then splitting them and other files into multiple password RAR files before encrypting with TrueCrypt. Overly excessive, yes. But I don't put 100% trust in any encryption system. Everything gets cracked eventually.

Supposedly more secure than Dropbox.

 

If it's on the internet, it's not secure.

 

Airgapping isn't secure if you believe the BadBios theory

 

Being alive is not secure. Just put your damn receipts on dropbox and get that tin foil hat off

 

If your machine has badbios installed then your security has already failed.

 

Well the idea is that badbios can travel to a machine without an NIC [or any kind of networking period] by jumping the air gaps so you could get BadBios by whatever method it is found and I imagine it isn't a drive by malicious ad attack or anything and then it jumps the gap using microphone or whatever device it is using.

 

badbios can't jump an air gap. When you plug a usb device into your computer then you don't have an air gap.

 

Badbios is nonsense. And even if it existed, the receiving machine would need to be listening. By default no pc is listening on the mic for data to run.

 

If you really want to be secure, host your own cloud. The pogo plug device makes this easy, if you need something simple.

 

Buy WD MyBook Live,and put it in your safe box(with Ethernet and power connected of course =D ).

 

Buy a raid array, set it up with NFS and a raspberry pi. I did this and it's A CHARM! You could also create true crypt volumes on there if you're really paranoid. But in all honesty, few people really have stuff important enough to deserve so much encryption as BlueAmnesiac described. 99% of the time, a .rar with password like this is more than fine!

 

I think I may not make this clear or misunderstood, when I say secure I mean that I don't lose them by someone deleting them, the paper I scan are not national secret info. LOL Those encrypting thing are too much for me and I'm not so paranoid about receipts and warranties. But it was great reading the whole thing.

 

Skydrive or Google Drive should be fine. As always it shouldnt be a primary backup though.

 

Dropbox allows to see earlier versions of files too, and deleted ones, it's a nice feature.

Although earlier versions/deleted disappear after a while, it's a great life saver for the occasional "I brainfreeze-deleted my folder and emptied the trash"...

It also works on Win/MacOS/Linux/Android/YouNameIt ...
