Title: Cloud IT storage question.
Post by: zirk on 09 August 2014, 15:16:16

Just found a good fuss free Cloud Storage Site that gives you 100gb of free storage per email, let me know if anyone is interested and I'll post up a link, anyway my question is this, I have a few other free Cloud Drives, ie, 2gb, 4gb, 10gb etc kicking around which I mainly share films with the family, is there any good free proven way of moving my existing files (roughly up to 1gb each) accross to the new site directly, without downloading and uploading again?

Ive tried downloading a file, pausing it, then copying the URL and tried uploading to the new box without success, theres a few web apps available that will let you do this (Sideload) but then want membership money to do anything more than a few Mb in file size.

Any suggestions, thanks Chris.

I dont know of any that are free without being utterly annoying.  And there are few of these services which would do it automatically and thus provide an API for external players to perform such actions.  The only one I know is Google and that is for business (paying) customers.

I personally don't trust any cloud with my own raw data and run a local network with plans for a VPN.  I use free cloud services for encrypted backups and OOF images only :y

I have just come across this though which might be of help.  Not free I know, but no more messing around with copying files between services:

Yep I know what you mean, there used to be a local Family Business delivering Fresh Milk to your doorstep for free around here, you just pay for the milk, problem was they went out of business after 75 years.  ::)

Well this one seems fairly straightforward, guessing similar to Giffgaff, by the community for the community etc, after sign up you use it as is, or your welcome to become a Developer and get involved, Apps, etc.
