- The only reasonable solution (to my eyes) is to rent pure disk space somewhere (I found for example https://www.hetzner.de/gb/hosting/storagebox/bx40 ) and to upload self-encrypted files. I guess a program like https://cryptomator.org/ can make that task easier.
I wasn't going deeper into the matter because in the end I decided not to use any online storage. Not because of lack of offers, but because my files are too large. I was dreaming of an online-solution to backup photo shootings, which are between 5 and 40 GB. If my math are right, with my current internet connection the upload of 1 GB would take about 215 minutes (speed test says I have 0.62mbps, telefonica, Spain) and en route any upload would take way longer than the battery of my laptop works. I admit, I took the large way to come to this conclusion :-)
Not quite as handy but a return to the old "sneaker net" might substitute. Largish usb3 drives are widely available. Use one for backup and carry off-site as convenient. <comment> "Better than nothing" </comment> -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
