Cloud Services

There is no cloud; it's just somebody else's computer.

AWS is quite nice - it's popular, and has tonnes of features, but can be expensive.
You could probably do some neat things with S3 and Glacier for file storage, if you're storing a lot of data and want to keep your costs down.

first, why do you need a file server?
you could use dropbox or any other cloud storage provider
or run it on your local network and expose it w/ port forwarding
if not then AWS is pretty much the gold standard but i wouldnt pay the premium for personal use because i dont need ultra mega quadruple data durability and redundancy

You can get a terabyte of Google Drive for $99/year, which is pretty damn good. It's tied with Dropbox's best price, and it's a much better service than Dropbox. OneDrive can be cheaper, but only because it's bundled with Office 365 and Office 365 prepaid cards are a commodity item.

"cloud" is a much shorter term than "someone else's computer" mongoloid.

The "someone else's computer" retards make it sound like you're uploading your stuff to some other turbonerd with an ATX tower full of hard drives. What makes "cloud storage" distinct is that you're storing things on redundant enterprise-grade hardware, managed around the clock by actual professionals who get paid to make sure nothing bad happens, by a company who measures their annual downtime in seconds.

It's a damn sight better than you'll ever accomplish in an economical manner in your own home. It's literally not worth doing at small scale.

Every one of them that gives you free storage. Encrypt your shit and upload to google drive, dropbox, mega etc. so you get shitload of GB for free

not even gitlab uses it anymore
