Does anyone have a recommendation for a Personal Cloud Server?

[fleur-de-lisa]

I want to store my personal documents on a cloud server and I don't want to spend a fortune on it. And I don't want to use a piece of hardware, I jsut need a server where I can upload docuemnts.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a service that's not too expensive?

Many thanks. - FDL

1. I use the Apple Cloud...

And Google Drive. Both free. Just gotta be within the data limits, take tons of pictures haven’t hit the limit in...I think I started google maybe 4 years ago. No problems.

2. Google One.

Starts at $1.99 a month for 100GB. Extension of your Gmail account.

3. Depending on how much data

Both Dropbox and Google Drive offer free online storage. Think Microsoft OneDrive does also. Not sure how much space, wanna say 2GB is free. That's a lot of documents but if you have pics and videos, those take up a lot more space.

4. Hard to beat 100gb for $1.99...

...which is what Google offers.

7. I am just now trying to figure this out ...

... using a Raspberry Pi and some usb drives.

Yes, it involves hardware, but it's very inexpensive hardware, and no fees to pay to a hosting service.

8. Depends on your usage

If you're looking for essentially a backup then I love Amazon Glacier. If it's stuff you'll be accessing regularly it's hard to beat Google for price and ease of use.
