Cloud storage for Mac help

Postby Bronx Bombers » Wed Mar 28, 2012 10:38 am

Looking for recommendations for a cloud storage for Mac that I can access via iPhone/iPad. I have 50k songs about 400g and just signed up for livedrive but found the service to be extremely buggy and slow so I'm going to cancel during my free trial period. Anyway if anyone is using a service that they're happy with I would love to know. Thanks

Dropbox is platform independent and reliable. Not sure about the costs for such a large amount of files though.

Unfortunately their pricing would be 750 a year for the size of my collection.

Why not buy a large external Hard Drive and back your music up onto it? You can probably get a TB for under 150.00.

Why not use the Apple cloud? If you put your songs on a external HDD, shouldn't you be able to access them via an iPhone/iPad anywhere as long as your Mac/PC is on...and your HDD is connected?

Apple cloud has a 100g storage limit so that's out for me. I went back to the live drive it's a little buggy but it's slowly updating everything for me. I have a 2 tb iMac and 3 external hard drives so storage isn't the issue just looking for a online backup with the ability to share between devices and live drive has a app
for that. It's taking weeks to upload all this data and I'm about half way there.
