Is there a free way to back up 3TB of data using cloud storage or some other means which isn't likely to fail (e.g. hard drive failure)?
I have three fully filled up 1TB external hard drives and accessing them is becoming more and more rickety (they often take 9 or 12 plug/replug attempts before they show up in explorer). It's also extremely slow moving files between these drives.
The stuff on these drives is too important for me to lose, but I don't want to have to spend a monthly fee on cloud storage. I don't want to have to create 50 fake emails to abuse the free 5GB from Google drive either.

What could you possibly have that totals 3TB that is too important to delete?

Photographs I've taken with my camera over the years, video tutorials, big PSD files.

Not op but off the top of my head, video editing and professional audio recording will fill that kind of space in a heartbeat and carry a lot of value.

90% of it is video tutorials for programs. I can't really be without a lot of them for work.

/g/ had a thread about this a month back. Seemed like a server in your parents house or friends was the most viable option. You can try https://www.transip.nl/stack/ with multiple accounts.

Yeah anon it's simple.
> Get the exact number of GB to back up. If you get a remainder, round up.
> Go to dropbox.com and see how much a basic account can hold
> Divide the total number of GB by the amount a dropbox account can hold
> Take that number, open that many dropbox accounts
> Put all your data into a rar file, rar lets you make split files of an arbitrary size
> put a file split into each account
Easy-peasy cloud storage.
