I'm here cause I learnt a hard lesson. My phone had a software issue and got stuck on the load-screen. I had to wipe the device And I didn't have any cloud service or backup of my stuff anywhere.
This is a great video review, backup every week or so to be as up to date as possible on your cloud storage. 💯

I just have a hard time trusting the pCloud or something like that will be around in 20 years and it is hard to imagine that Google or Microsoft wont. That is why I usually use the bigger more established companies for something like this as much as I hate to sometimes.

[brendaesdohr]

Are any of these options permeant? What happens when I’m old or dead … I don’t want to work hard on my photos just to have it all deleted if I die and don’t make a monthly pmt

I've tried online services for backup, btu have been frustrated by my slow internet. Paying for 300Mbps down, only gives 5Mbps up. These back up services suck for uploading my data to the cloud when ISPs limit speed like this.

Because of Google photos greediness I lost all of my photos 2023-2024!

Just a correction: The storage plans for pCloud are 500GB and 2TB - not 2GB and 10GB as incorrectly mentioned and shown by you. Please correct this. Apart from that, your video was very informative.

I heard of client reviews where Pcloud auto delete a user accounts without consult with their auto detection of your images and files should they see it to be a copyright or something bad in nature, this is all good except that it violated the biggest part of need for cloud, privacy. Can you speak on this?

Just got back from a high school reunion. Everyone was taking photos. Is Google Photos the best service for enabling many people to upload and download photos to a single site in the cloud?

[Mercmek]

DONT GO WITH GOOGLE PHOTOS. You will run out of storage very quickly. Like me.

[arkx.]

For IDrive, how many GB do you get with the default version? I didn't see that in the video

[alexrivera]

Only down to google photos, probably one of the best recommendation video I’ve ever seen

[rdutta]

Which of these cloud services offer to save my clicked photos directly to to the cloud bypassing my phone storage (Gallery) for security issue ?

[laurenshaff]

Question: So you said that idrive has a 2gb cap per file. What does that specifically mean? Does that mean you only have that much space for ALL your videos, or you get that much space for each video? How many minutes of phone videos would that cover?

[GothicoIC]

I got to watch your video as i am already a user of google photos as at the begining i have found it convinient as it sync natutally with my gmail account. The problem however is some lack of capabilities which i find them very crucial such as the ability to delete specific local folder on my phone without fhe back up folder being deleted(the photos however still saved in google photos, but in the main tab of 'photos' which they are all mixed together and not ordered by folder name)
Is there any backup app among those in this video that can can delete local folder without affecting the backup folder?

[ddddaaddaaaa]

i hate how google photos won't allow me to delete what's in the cloud without deleting the original copy

[Marcelotop]

OneDrive prices are per year not per month as you said in the video

Was Kayak fishing on the Cumberland River in TN. Removed my Samsung Note 9 to snap a picture of my wife behind me.. when a low hanging branch hanging out over the river caught my fishing pole and capsized my Kayak sending my phone to the bottom of the river along with 1000s of photos (including ones of my late mother) ... when I went to retrieve my pics to my new phone I realized that my backup had been turned off at some point .. all the photos are lost forever..

Whopping 20gb? Did you think it said 20tb?

[michelsafars]

On Mac pCloud Drive cannot be installed on the M1 version. (even if you lower the security as they ask you to do). This is a major problem. The good is that the listed of shared folders/files is esay to edit (not like DropBox that does not allow you do erase you shared files and links other than 1 by 1 - that is horrible).
All in all I agree pCloud is great but the Drive not working on M1 is not good at all
