We have 2TB of archived files that we want to move to Cloud storage. The current 2 TB of files will increase as we archive more data, so for now we would need 2.5 to 3 TB of space.

We will need users to be able to access the files (read only) as needed and be able to download from the archive as needed.  

Azure file storage is to expensive at this time.  

Do not want to use AWS because we are using Azure for Cloud backup and will eventually use Azure for file storage.

Other than Dropbox, can anyone recommend another Cloud storage solution for storing these files.

Thanks,

Acronis wants almost $900 for 1TB of Cloud Storage for 1 year. Isn't that a little outrageous? Why would I want to do that when my OneDrive account has 1TB for free?

What could Acronis's cloud storage bring to the party that would justify that? (Yes it will be used on a server running their backup software).

I have an organization that is looking to keep all their files in the cloud on all their computers.  The one thing that is unusual is that they want all the desktops and documents to be shared with each other so there really is no need to keep anything private within the organization but completely collaborative.  (Its only 4 computers)  So I figured that maybe there would be four folders in a cloud share named Computer1, Computer2,Computer3,Computer4.   Then within each of those folders there will be a desktop and documents folder.  Locally on each machine I would make the location for desktop and documents to its corresponding cloud folder.  Then everyone can see each others information from their cloud drive.  This is exactly what OneDrive does already, however, they want everything on the computers to be collaborative.  

The question I have is what's the best approach?  They currently have both G Suite and Office 365.  Should I setup the file structure that I just mentioned in G drive and then call it a day?  Is this possible to accomplish through SharePoint?  Is there one advantage over the other or is there a problem with this setup?

Thanks!

We currently use Veeam and Veeam Copy Jobs to an Exagrid de-duplicating appliance.  Exagrid automatically sync's our data center backups to our remote office.  To supplement that, and to protect against a ransomware attack, we want cloud air-gapped backups.  We presently use Veeam copy jobs to iLand for that purpose but it's not going well.

We are about to demo CommVault but I figured before doing so, maybe I should take a step back and ask for thoughts on:

CommVault vs. Zert0

The ONLY thing I like about Veeam copy jobs to a cloud provider is the provider's "insider protection" which basically is a cloud based "recycle bin" which even a malicious admin can't touch.

We don't enjoy the overly complex nature of hundreds of  Veeam backup jobs and copy jobs.  It's a nightmare to monitor and maintain.

CommVault sounds much simpler.

I don't know anything about Zert0 other than it offers granular restores to the minute which could be super handy during a ransomware attack (assuming they don't successfully attack our backups).

I suppose the air-gapped-ness depends on the destination provider for both CommVault and Zert0.

Do these solutions typically rely on things like Amazon's Object Lock / Compliance Mode / WORM (write-once-read-many)?

A big requirement is MFA in order to delete backup containers; my nightmare scenario is my laptop getting hijacked and/or my admin credentials getting compromised and ransomware hacker attacking my cloud backups too !!!

Well, the title says it all... any idea how I can purchase this service (which I actually used in the past when it was still openDNS) ?

I have tried multiple times to fill in this form (with various, correct information) but never got a callback.

They don't list any other mean of communication so it would seem they are not really looking for new customer (maybe the product is phased out ?).

In any case any pointer - including competing products - most welcome! I think it is a useful tool to have...

we are reviewing our data leakage controls and there is a point in policy regarding uploading company data to 'cloud storage; (e.g. forbidden). There are tight controls on USB/DVD/Email etc, but I was wondering:
1) what the common/free cloud storage solutions are in 2019, and..
2) as a company from a policy enforcement perspective, is it as simple as blocking access to those cloud storage websites via your web filter/proxy to enforce this, or is it a bit more complicated than that. And if there is more to it, what other types of controls need to be in operation.

Hello,

Maybe this question is not technical help but wanted to know what is your opinion.  Last week in a group conversation a colleague said that the United States is storing and has been storing our data on cloud in a facility in UTAH, all text messages, calls land/mobile, web-browsing, etc.

How true is this and should there be any concern?

Shared Files on Cloud Storage solution for board members.  Board Members of our Our Homeowners Association need access to residential listing in the form of a spreadsheet.  Currently this spreadsheet is offline and maintained by our bookkeeper.  Not all board members have a Google account therefore they do not have a Gmail account.   Google Drive can support shared access through a shared link however anyone with that link would then have access to confidential information.  Seems we need cloud storage file/folder sharing that supports any authorized individual's private email address authentication.  

Looking for a solution that will provide a single account owner with less than 10 additional shared user accounts and less than 1GB storage.  Authentication will allow use of current private email addresses and passwords.

Is there a program that will find all OneNote files and migrate them to OneDrive for Business?
