Hi everyone,

I would like to ask your opinions on reliable cloud storage providers for media. I have a media collection that isn't too big (about 2-3TB) that I'd like to store on the cloud since I'll be moving in the future and don't think I can handle multiple hard drives.

What do you suggest? Any issues I should be looking at? I came across Wasabi too, along with the more expensive Scaleway and Cloudflare R2 offerings. For now Backblaze seems fine in terms of reliability, but has anyone come across complaints from them regarding what is stored on their servers?

Thanks!

I could be wrong, but I remember reading some companies using AI to analyze your data traffic. Even when encrypted, they may be able to tell that it must be video streaming of some sort. Many providers ban video streaming altogether, legal or not.

Sounds like OP is asking about file storage. Video streaming could be spotted using info leaked regarding traffic behavior. But uploading an encrypted file for storage shouldn't leak anything except the size.

Yes but they cannot determine it isn't audio of me singing in my own shower
