I have 230GB worth of music, what is the best site that one could use to backup such a large amount of music? I'm mainly looking for reliability and the site being [spoiler]free[/spoiler].
>inb4 why not just get a 2nd external hdd?
Can't afford it right now, unfortunately.
Google Play Music
Kek keep dreaming kid. Or enjoy the chinku botnet
Rar it with a password in alphabetical-range chunks and upload to mega using megatools
>trusting google
>ever
Wait until you can afford a few external drives or go old school and just make some hardcopy data dvds.
If you don't have multiple copies of your stuff then you aren't truly backing it up.
Can you put your autism aside and realize this is the best solution for op?
OP just wait until you can afford, you don't have to backup right now.
So do you mean backing up on two external drives?
>230GB
>Can't afford it right now
what are you some kind of poorfag
The best solution my ass.
You spend all that time uploading your music to a locker and Google decides they want to wipe a large chunk of it out.
Just create 20s Google account, mane.
>230
>large amount
Pic related is modest.
I guess just make a couple of accounts on some site or spread them on a couple of different sites. Free sites have size limits on uploads though like 1-10GB. You can buy a subscription for cheap (like $20-30) and upload as much as you want p much.
This I have around 450gb of music in mp3 v0 and other 180 of flac.
Wait until you can afford another hard drive, or wait until megaupload comes back.
It's best to pay for a good storage site. Free accounts get shafted pretty hard because a lot of those sites have a TOS that pretty much says they can delete your stuff when they like and if a system error deletes your stuff you're shit out of luck because you're not a paying customer.
>So do you mean backing up on two external drives?
External harddrives can die without warning. I remember when I got my first external drive I was unaware of this and loaded one with a bunch of stuff only for it to brick a few months later. It's smart to back up your data in more than one drive or like recommends use other methods of backing up along side the external drives.
Yeah. I dropped my external harddrive twice, but it still works just fine. Still, it's quite worrying to think that it could die at any time.
For now I at least have a .pdf file containing a list of all directories and files on my external harddrive. It'll do I guess until I'm able to afford another external harddrive for backup purposes.
I thought about using online, but I did some research and it seems that even sites like Mega, while having huge upload caps, only allows you to upload 10GB per month. I could circumvent this restriction by creating multiple accounts, but as you stated... files can be deleted without warning...
Thanks, everyone.
Seagate eHDs have an offer with their 1TB, 200GB Onedrive (The M$ cloud, I think that's the name).
Decent but its a bitch at times, you can't upload single files >10GB in size for instance
If you take care of the external and only use it for backup it should be good.
I have 150gb worth on Google Play Music.
I don't really trust it as a true backup, but It's nice to know I have it there. At worst it acts like a big list of all my stuff in case I do have something horrible happen to my drive.

I'm going to convert it all to FLAC when I have enough space.
A few lolicore tracks fucked up the overall length quite a bit.
>convert
>to FLAC
I meant replace obviously.

Are you paying for that service? Wikipedia says that they only allow 15GB for free accounts.
How do you guys have so much music? Do you just hoard? You can't even listen to all that.
>Wikipedia says that they only allow 15GB for free accounts
Do they even store it? I assumed they just scanned your collection for metadata and then streamed a copy of a master collection.
What a massive waste of storage, otherwise.
RIP Grooveshark, you will never be forgotten
dunno mane
That's exactly what they do
AWS. Glacier if you don't need to open it for a while.
Nope, they allow 50,000 songs for free. No space constraints.
You don't need to listen to your entire library everyday for it to be worth having an offline copy. I don't, however, just download everything I see though and I do listen to everything I download.
Maybe we just like music more than you.
They store the stuff they don't have. I had podcast episodes uploaded to it well before they added podcast support.
Chomikuj, 11 years old reliable free unlimited hosting for personal use, I have 7Tb there
Now fuck off
It would be pretty rad to have unfettered access to the master collection.
AWS S3
Fuck i need a beer now KYS shitlord.
If you're a student, see if your college (or highschool if you're a fucking faggot) offers an Office 365 subscription. Free Office 2016, AND 1TB of onedrive space. I have that and it's the fucking shit
What.cd
What is a Google Play Music Subscription
>Nope, they allow 50,000 songs for free. No space constraints.
Sounds too good to be true. Are you sure they aren't converting V0,320k, and lossless files down to conserve space?

No english site that aren't garbage?
