4evermaat Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I'm supposed to get 20gb free cloud storage with 3bb internet service. I was wondering if anyone here has used the service and can provide some mini walk-through setting it up. Is there an application for windows / mac to manage the files? Like dropbox, google drive, etc. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jampola Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 A friendly suggestion, if you value the privacy and data integrity of whatever you're planning on storing, I would steer clear of 3bb's service. If I need to, I use sparkle share otherwise I use own cloud which is set up on my home server. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil2 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 It was very easy to set up, but I dumped it after trying in vain for days to sync some files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangarang Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Dude... use Google Drive! I think you get 20gb for free, but I pay $10 for 100gb of storage. Best deal on the net and its pretty secure. drive.google.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All data is gone... Better to have at a separate location mate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkokstick Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Dropbox is still the best but Skydrive microsoft is also not bad on new windows 8.1 because directly integrated in the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4evermaat Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 I already use dropbox and hardly get past 500mb, yet the galaxy note gives your account 50gb free (instead of 2gb). For security of important files, i use truecrypt container or the individual files are already encrypted from the program that generates them. I do not rely on the service provider's encryption. I was looking for an alternative storage box. From the comments here, seems like i should only use the established cloud suppliers until 3bb gets more stable. Free or not.
