Morning all.
A couple of questions on cloud storage.
I'm very new to this stuff, so be gentle with me.
Currently I juggle a number of external drives keeping my stuff backed up, although I'm sure I could do a better job of it.
I also use a drop box free account, but only for sharing images with people. It's not a storage hub for me.
What I have:
A nucleus of family images and videos that I wish to keep. This is ever expanding.
A number of other images that I'm not overly worried about, but if I had additional external storage I'd keep them protected too.
Music and videos that I keep in one place only and find myself managing them to ensure I keep the amount reasonable. Again with external storage I'd probably have a much bigger library.
Now looking at other topics something like Hubic looks like a good bet. Not too expensive for a year and loads of space.
Question time.....
1. Can I get myself set up so that certain folders are automatically saved to cloud storage as well as locally? If so do I need additional software to do this?
2. How quick / easy is it to draw stuff back to use it? For instance if it was quick / instantaneous I might put all my movies up there out of the way. I have a good fast internet connection.
3. Does the library system mirror the one on my computer, or do I set it how I want too?
Sorry of these are basic questions, but I'm new to this.
