In the past I used google drive as a cloud backup. Periodic checks showed that the files stored on google did not have matching hashes. The files were changed somehow. Furthermore, the hashes changed from one month to the next.
I redownloaded the files and they were corrupted. Pictures had the wrong colors, videos had sections missing.
I kept the files on the drive and retested monthly. (I had paid for the year) They degraded every month.
I don’t know how or why but google drive is not worth it, even at a free level. They will corrupt your data.
I have not tried onedrive because, in my mind, microsoft is even lower than google on quality.
My point is… Linux with multiple offsite backups. Buddy backups recommend over trusting any corp.
yeah onedrive is like google drive but it infects your entire local filesystem lmao i have to use it at work, and quite frankly it’s an obstacle to work around for keeping my documents well-organized. lots of default options that encourage you to just dump everything into your top level folder.
I use 3-2-1 backup strategy.
