Cloud storage advice

[Sly17]

I just got my first drone, Mavic 2 Pro, and looking for best cloud storage option to share videos/large photos. I have only found free options for 5GB storage which obviously won’t help. Any recommendations? I am looking for an economical solution where I can upload videos quickly and share easily.

Mega.nz gives you 15 gb storage for free. PCloud is also a good service; I currently use both. You also get 15 gb free storage from Google.

YouTube will allow you to post with previews on this site.

Vimeo is another site to share videos, and maybe Flickr.

YouTube is becoming very anti-creator with the way they handle licensed music and other arbitrary rule changes. They don't care about the little guy, and will quite happy kill a channel if you get copyright strikes even if you have properly licensed the music, which happened to my friends channel.

There's plenty of posts/information about YT's changes and problems.

Vimeo will do the same thing as YouTube as far as posting here, including preview.
Just trying to suggest viable free alternatives that are more user friendly to posters and to viewers here. I personally don’t click on private cloud based urls for my own security.

Just be aware: If you store on a cloud, you live dangerous. Not only do you depent on available connections, the moment a cloud decides to change policy and shuts down or is shut down for what ever reasons, your content is simply gone.
For sharing, clouds are okay, for storage, use an extra drive for backing up everything.

Good reminder. We want to shoot video and share files with private group. But as you said backup on storage drive.

For 100 bucks you can buy a 4TB external.........

My concern is about sharing video with others - not storage. Thanks.
